Like that guy in the Berks keeps honking.....................Big Big winter incoming........................

lol we would be looking at some nice snow depths if any of these solutions happen to be correct. its probably not a good thing to be in the bullseye 3 or 4 days out though.

Quick thoughts on this upcoming system...

As of now a hybrid psuedo-SWFE/Miller B scenario?

Two rounds of precip for NYS one with primary. Round #2 with redevelopment (more of a threat for areas E of I81)

These are just "initial" thoughts and are subject to change once I take a closer look at data later today.

It's starting to look a bit better for Ottawa? Dare I hope for one of the best winter weeks in years (bitter cold, followed by 4-6"+ of snow) followed by bitter cold?

how much snow did you get overnight-today?

parents said they had a few inches in south ottawa.

looks like a wicked band crossed the city a short while ago.

I'm more intrigued at the 12z GFS showing it -33 at GFL on friday morning which would be the all time record ever :popcorn:

Fri 02/04 09Z -32 ° -31 ° -33 °

I'm not 100% sure but the ALL time record at the AP I think is -34?

We're both wrong:

GLENS FALLS AP (303294)

Extremes

Lowest Daily Minimum Temperature (degrees F)

Days: 1/1 - 12/31

Length of period: 1 day

Years: 1944-2011

Rank Value Ending Date

1 -35.0 1/27/1994

2 -34.0 1/16/1994

3 -33.0 1/12/1968, 1/11/1968, 1/8/1968

6 -32.0 1/23/1976

7 -31.0 1/4/1981

8 -30.0 1/24/2011, 1/6/1996, 2/10/1994

HPC...

...SEE NOUS42 KWNO ADMNFD FOR THE STATUS OF THE UPPER AIR

INGEST...

12Z NAM/GFS EVALUATION AND PRELIMINARY PREFERENCES

...UPPER TROUGH FORMING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST/ROCKIES

THROUGH THE PERIOD...

PREFERENCE: UKMET

THE NAM AND GFS HAVE POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT INITIALIZATION ERRORS

OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA...

WITH THE NAM TOO WEAK AND NORTHEAST WITH THE CENTER OF THE

DEVELOPING SHORTWAVE TROUGH...

AND GFS TOO STRONG AND SOUTH OF ITS ACTUAL CENTER. THESE

DIFFERENCES CONTRIBUTE TO GROWING SOLUTION DIFFERENCES OVER

TIME...WITH THE GFS LESS AGGRESSIVE IN DIGGING THE TROUGH INTO THE

ROCKIES...A SOLUTION WHICH IS DISCOUNTED DUE TO INITIALIZATION

ERRORS AND ITS RELATIVE POSITION WITHIN THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE.

MEANWHILE...THE NAM...ALTHOUGH WITH INITIALIZATION ISSUES OF ITS

OWN BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THE GFS...PRODUCES A FORECAST CLOSE TO THE

MODEL CONSENSUS INCLUDING ENSEMBLES...AND THUS IS CONSIDERED

REASONABLE. OTHERWISE...THE NEW UKMET HAS TRENDED TOWARD THE 00Z

ECMWF BUT IS NOT AS FAR WEST NOR AS DEEP WITH THE UPPER LOW BY 84

HRS...AND GIVEN ITS MORE RECENT AND MORE ACCEPTABLE

INITIALIZATION...HAS THE EARLY LEAD REGARDING PREFERENCES.

1994 was brutal in both terms of cold and very system from Mid Jan on through the beginning of Mar was all snow or just a few snow/mix (IP or ZR) systems.There were more than a few 12" + storms that year.

from my standpoint, i dont like these patterns at all to produce up here in eastern ontario and southern quebec.

BZ runners at this time of year, using climo are not good for us. if anything i would expect this to tick back south more than anything.

the only positive trend i can see on todays models are that they are stronger at the UL features, that could help.

honestly we are going to need all the help we can get,.....all we need is about 20 miles.....doesnt sound like much but ive seen that movie before in late jan/early feb....thats the price you pay for living in the cold factory at this time of year.
