2/1 - 2/4 Storm potential


SACRUS

Recommended Posts

I know its a tad weeniesh of me to say this but, you just get the feeling that this one will be special, and from what I read on the main forum, the EC wants to really pump up the SE ridge after Valentines day and bring warmer than average temps over the entire east. While that idea has drawn quite a bit of skepiticism, you have to wonder how long this pattern can go on before we run out of luck? I hope we can squeeze one more MECS out of this season but if we don't, well its been an amazing season.

I have mixed feelings about this one, I'm not sure we'll be able to pull out another snow event with the low going so far NW. Maybe a sleet and ice storm, but we'll just have to see.

Frankly I think this storm you should have the MOST confidence in as any so far this winter. Dec 26 was borderline on getting the storm to develop in time and far enough west, 50-100 miles further east and we would have got nothing, this weeks bomb was a miracle (no cold and perfect timing).

This storm is coming (huge coverage storm with abundant moisture), we will have bitter arctic air abundant and well entrenched with high pressures flanked to our north and west. As long as you can accept the possiblity of not a 100% snow storm and some changeover to sleet/ice you shouldnt be dissapointed.

We've ran through a whole winter without ever getting any cold or a snowstorm-- 22/24 months as a matter of fact, from 1990 through 1991, so why cant we have a mere four months of snow and cold? Time to balance the scales :)

At 123 hours, major ice storm for parts of jersey and PA. At 126 hours, NYC switches over to ice too.

Warmer at the mid levels this run. As we said, 12z was best case scenario.

Doesnt look like 32 surface line gets north of middle jersey even though 850 does warm. Lots of ice.

This is our storm. As Will.I.Am. says, "I gotta feelin'" but all autotuned n junk...

Seriously, this is almost the perfect set up for us snow-starved in NE-Central PA to get heavy snows--overrunning...where there's not some superbomb transfer of energy to a coastal low eroding the NW precip shield.

For all of us that live up this way (pretty much me, voyager and psuhazwx) this could make or break our winter.

I am a little south east of ya Jim, also on the low end of snow. The upcoming set up is quite favorable for our "neck of the woods" this time around. Let's see if the model trending continues over the weekend.

Good luck up there Big Jim. I agree it's your time to shine. Well see what happens down this way. I think snow to ice at the very least where I live..I'm not exactly concerned with the euro solution today just yet given the other guidance, but we will see if rain becomes likely down this way. Agree with SG that if it locks into something then I'll follow it.

Does it get north of Philly? If so it sounds like it's moving to the EURO.
