Winter returns with a vengeance thread


Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

That traffic jam in the Atlantic is really making its presence felt this run. The shortwave has morphed almost into a pseudo bowling ball like feature going through the lower lakes.

That's exactly where I want the depiction right now. Let it be due east of the Delmarva at this stage of the game.

You could not be more wrong again. Boy thats an impressive cold shot with HWW on the Euro followed by a snowstorm. That really would blow DT out of the water as even the MA gets in on it.

How can someone be wrong if they haven't made a declaration? :rolleyes: Euro coming in looking real nice, Ukie interesting,...gfs and GGEM awful ( at least the quick glances I just took)

Yeah I like the setup more and more as we get closer. Its still a long ways out though...about a week to go. But with the blocking trending more impressive, we have an increased just of having the system go underneath us for a snowier solution vs over us or NW of us which would have significant taint and warmer scenario.

there's been a nice 50 to 75 knot LLJ in the 925 to 850 layer for days now in that time period all over the northeast.

Local studies have shown that to a close approximation, 1mb = 1kt of wind for sfc pgf. I don't think, or am not sure, whether that considers convective processes as well -

I'm not going to lie, looking for a track along I-90 here or maybe a bit south of it. President's Week vacation period at the ski resort and any snow that week is like money falling from the sky. A nice snowfall will really boost business for later in the week.

I'll obviously be rooting stoutly against it.

Wouldn't the snow falling south of you in NY/Greewich CT boost business more, thats your wealthy client-ale correct?

Haha yeah, sorry but I think that's sort of how this one has to go down. If it tracks south of SNE we'll be high and dry. Need PVD/BOS area to taint, no hard feelings either way though, lol.

I doubt the gfs has much merit outside 96hrs at this point. You're in a great position for late winter fun, no doubt...it's NNE's turn.

It has absolutely no merit outside 96 hours... no real model does, we can just watch trends.

I honestly don't really care all that much what happens late in the season, we've had a great run so far. Fresh snow last night, bluebird skies today... at least the brown snowbanks disappeared again. I just want it to snow next week during the Vacation week... huge week for the ski resorts all over the northeast.

It certainly helped this season that you guys had a great January. Business from Christmas onward is at amazing levels... especially in the past few weekends where we've had snow and the wealthy folks down south have also had snow.

With that said, it'll warm up later this week then freeze solid this weekend. We are going to need some snow to improve the conditions or else folks will come up and ski for a day or two and then find other stuff to do like dog-sledding, snowmobiling, X-C skiing, etc. A snowstorm will keep them coming back to the mountain and not just sitting at the pool in their hotel or something like that.

yeah it could end up being meh. who knows.

when i start seeing 50 knots down to 950mb in a strong CAA situation it always perks my interest - especially if it goes multiple model cycles with multiple guidance.

still, the trend always seems to be weaker as we approach an event so i'm not counting on Wiz needing to break out the HAM just yet. :lol:

the 12z GFS is again pretty comical (several runs now). for BOS (and really all of SNE) the profile is close to dry adiabatic all day saturday and saturday night through the first 3K to 5K feet...so it is consistently mixing in a layer of 50 to 60 knots of wind for 18 hours.

steve would have serious tree-top gusts.

Petes second favorite Ice moguls, Euro looks upslopy.

Yea you do not want the folks in Greenwich with their windows and tops down on their Audi/Mercedes/Lamborghinis sunning themselves with their girlfriends wearing flip flops, polo tees and Aero shorts, although East Bay would approve.

Heavy heavy top of tree bursts with mini limbs down all over, hey that was last night. Love that winter howling sound. A HWW would top this off, only thing I do not think we have had is a tornado warning,seriously.
