The Euro is a very cold pattern at the sfc for us next week...but we might have to deal with mid-level issues. Hopefully that can stay cold enough for mostly snow. It help a lot if the NAO can trend more robust in that time frame to fight the -PNA....a -PNA/-NAO combo is good but its precarious if the PNA is really strong and the NAO is only marginal...you want them about equal strength or at least the NAO close.

That's the thing that has been making me a little cautious next week...and even beyond that with a potential yo-yo pattern. It looks good overall, but I would advise everyone not to expect snow from every event...though I know some will anyways.

was this the big issue:

HARTFORD/BDL JANUARY MONTHLY CLIMATE REPORT (BOSCLMBDL) HAS BEEN

CORRECTED TO REFLECT THE DAILY PRECIPITATION TOTAL OF 0.21 INCH

AND SNOWFALL TOTAL OF 3.4 INCHES 1/8/2011. THIS CHANGES THE

MONTHLY PRECIPITATION TOTAL TO 4.03 INCHES AND MONTHLY SNOWFALL

TO 54.3 INCHES AT WINDSOR LOCKS CT. THE CORRECTION HAS BEEN SENT

TO THE NCDC FOR REVIEW.

yea, the old past February 10th rule: add 3-5 F to all guidance highs unless you are in some kind of whack super CAA anomaly, until further notice - you'll score forecasting accuracy point really well.

It's been going on longer than that....they've often been busting too cold for 2-3 weeks.

There are some tricks to beat MOS. I figured today would be an over day, given the temps aloft and strong wsw flow. Just wait if we have some of those days in April with +15C temps at 850 with wsw winds at the surface, and MOS has like 72 for BOS. laugh.gif. I know BOX has bias corrected MOS in house.
