January 26-27 Snowstorm Disco IV

Previous Discussion Thread

Models appear to be locking into a BM or a hair NW strorm track. This would traditionally be a snowy track fpr most of us but due to a retreating H and lack of blocking, it could be a wintry mess for a lot of us. Best shot for an all snow event are in the interior. Hopefully tonight's model runs will shed some light on some of the outstanding issues wrt to the storm.

If it truly goes over the benchmark, most of us will be in good shape with nearly all frozen and/or freezing rain. A windswept rain would be a real slap in the face after an arctic outbreak like this, but then again I have gone to bed here in the single digits and awoken to plain rain with strong SE winds by sunrise. Climatology is certainly on our side but this is no 2004 when all of Narraganset Bay and Nantucket Sound were ice. Persistence says this thing goes BID to CC and the coastal front makes it out to 495 this time around.

On face value, all of the progged tracks look good but that 850 layer looks awfully warm and far north. Retreating High is always a warning sign, no matter how cold the preceeding days were. Fortunately, I have become quite adept at shoveling loads of sleet this winter.

You don't always need an arctic high in place to ge a snowstorm. I've seen it happen many times before in my life. The only way pure heavy icy cold rain gets into the heart of our viewing area is if this thing tracks right over Nantucket. I don't think that's going to happen. :angry:
