    Albany is pretty run down but there are some decent areas downtown. On the west side near I-87/airport not too bad either. Near the river/Rensselaer are depressing.

    I’ve lived in Texas. Dealing with just one summer with 100+ degree heat for months is pure torture. I lived there in May 2015 when there was near epic rainfall in part of the state and plenty of severe weather so there was that. But I missed the Jan 2015 and 2016 storms up here for which I’m still pissed.

    I have to think sooner or later a real threat will pop up if we keep the cold. The SE ridge will help.

    Syracuse is actually a pretty fun town. I’ve been there for work a number of times. N of Syracuse though is literally the middle of nowhere.

    Just having the grass be covered in a below average temp January would be nice.

    During a Nina seeing those places all get skunked while DC and south clean up is beyond hysterical.

    It’s a fragile setup but there’s a low cap on what can happen with no phase. If no phase we have to hope for some Atlantic enhancement from the N stream system, that’s about it.

    Set expectations low in a winter like this and on the off chance something happens, appreciate it more. Mets have been posting how this pattern probably doesn’t support a major storm. Hopefully the 3-5” type event can happen.
  9. jm1220
    Wouldn’t take much more to get it to a 3-5” event especially from the city east. GFS was close but not quite there. Perfectly fine outcome for me.
  10. jm1220
    Maybe we can get the northern snow shield to beef up to make it a more 3-5” type event, the setup looks vigorous even without the big coastal low and there should be some decent Atlantic moisture incorporated.
  11. jm1220
    That will come without a doubt. Winter T-storms we can always count on now, any real snow enough to completely cover the grass when it’s cold enough for weeks, like pulling teeth. As soon as the warmth comes back, we can likely count on the cutters to come back or a SWFE that gives 6-10” to I-90 but some sleet to rain here.

    I do think we get something, it’s a potent upper air system/vort coming through which should at least spawn snow showers, but the models last night showed how fragile this setup is for anything bigger. Unless there’s a real step back today to something better, the snow showers outcome is what likely happens.

    Oh Tee Ess. DC now has double the season snow as our sites, might as well add ATL, CLT, ORF. Why not?
  14. jm1220
    I'd be happier with that than the 18z hour of snow to pouring rain to dryslot.
  15. jm1220
    Yep for sure. Verbatim there's still a lot of energy being left behind and the trough is positively tilted. If we can get that more consolidated and more neutral/negative tilt, then game on big time.
  16. jm1220
    If we see the bombing storm signal among more of the models tonight that's a good sign, then the question becomes does it make the turn or get immediately booted out.
  17. jm1220
    Not worried about it. I’m glad the models are moving towards a bigger storm in general.
  18. jm1220
    It’s drying up on radar and consolidating south over NJ. The flurries are nice but our accums are done.
  19. jm1220
    GFS is likely at the left goalpost with its aggressive fully phased solution and its on the left end of the GEFS but the blocking to the N/kicker to the west will have to do work to prevent a hugger with an outcome like that. If we really have a low riding almost due N ending up over Fire Island, that’s an inland favored outcome like 3/14/17. But at some point those factors pushing it east will take over and boot it out. Hopefully that would happen near the Delmarva and not Fire Island. Other models are much further east obviously but this seems like an all or nothing type outcome where we either have a phased bomb or unimpressive slider out to sea. It’s more likely of course we don’t have the coastal hugger but can’t say it’s not a possibility.
  20. jm1220
    We're not at that point that we know it'll phase.
  21. jm1220
    Agree, let’s see if other models come on board. Still days away from locking into anything.
  22. jm1220
    Honestly if this full phase does happen we’ll be rooting on whatever kicker comes behind and hoping it gets shoved east in time to keep it from flip many of us to rain.
  23. jm1220
    Yup, I had about 15” last winter. Putrid but just off the bottom-most of the barrel 2022-23.
  24. jm1220
    Another reason I haven’t watched them in years.
  25. jm1220
    I will say we did better than I thought, that 700mb fronto area survived coming east of PA rather than get crushed ESE which is what models had. 0.5” ain’t saying much but better than 0 and it does look nice/wintry outside for a change which it should here on 1/6 when it’s cold enough.
