Winter returns with a vengeance thread


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

:lol:

Sorry, dude, but that is a day 10+ chart...just foolish.

This pattern is fine for me.

Yeah the more immediate threat next week certainly gives us a decent shot. You can see how the storm was crushed under the mild blocking in place and gives us a nice little snow event. Its certianly possible we get screwed, but we have a chance and that beats the current 10-12 day regime going back to last Wednesday.

Winter may be over.:(

Hard to imagine having a 4th consecutive lame March

It probably won't happen...I think we'll probably live in the edge for a while next week and perhaps into the final week of February with SWFEs/etc but then I think we'll see a bit more of a favorable pattern try to setup for larger storms in the first half of March. The analogs are split on the idea but hedge toward the stormier side. My gut says that is probably what happens given winters with large blocking/stormy periods to repeat them at some point later on.

Yeah, I think this was actually an alright time for the atmosphere to go La Nina on us. Building up some solid cold anomalies in Canada that will start to spill south, and tighten the temp gradient, powering an active jet.

At this point, I don't see any major storm threats, but certainly the SWF activity will be initiated.

Exactly....but I think we will.

This break was just priming Canada for us....gonna be a great final stretch.

00z Euro shows a snow threat at 174-186h. Confluence is very strong and the whole thing actually gets shoved far enough south that we don't even get the best qpf...but still get several inches of low thickness snow. Its a good sign to see cold solutions like the GFS and Euro...as we know that SWFEs usually end up further north with time. Hopefully we don't see that shift start until a lot closer in. Still a legit risk of having this one run west of us enough to contaminate it significantly.

But at any rate, the threat is still showing up. So perhaps we can finally have something to track as the warmest days of the torch are upon us late this week.

Right.

I think it's best to assume tainters and if some end up all snow, then great.

Either way, fun times ahead.

i apologize in advance for the refugee weenie question from another region........ are you optimistic or pessimistic about a return of snow threats down here (NJ/nyc).

if there's no snow at all down here, we'll have had back to back 54" winters.... yet plenty of snowless months (jan2010, march 2010, feb 2011, march 2011).

Obviously it gets tougher the further south you go late in the season, but I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't at least one more decent threat down there. Not sure this next one is the best setup for NJ though...despite the OP Euro run tonight.

thanks.

not withstanding any particular pattern, historically march 1 - march 10 has still been prime time for snow in north/central NJ... but recent years havent been too good.
