December 23rd light snow potential

Recommended Posts

For the QPF weenies...my maps have 0.25" around BUF-SLK-MSS-CYSC-EPO. 0.50" is between GFL/ALB to RUT-here-PSM. Of course these tend to conflict with the WSI maps I've seen from Will.

question....why is this being described as stronger and juicier and a "slam" when the qpf has not gone up? we were looking at .5 yesterday up here. Is it that the system is stronger and there will be more banding and so therefore some higher totals?

While some are beating the dead horse I agree.

This is an unprecedented stretch most of us will never again see in our lifetimes. Enjoy it.

In 2010, Farmington, Maine was above normal every day Feb. 8 thru March 25. Average departure for those 46 days was +12.37. THAT's a once-in-a-lifetime stretch (I sincerely hope!)

Also hoping I'm not too far north to get in on this event. (GYX has us getting 2".) Still haven't had any measurable snow this Dec.

They are SNE-centric in their comments. Yeah here also no historic stretch the last five years, but certainly good winters. But it was a great period for the Megalopolis.

wow this nw trend is amazing, but I think somewhat expected, ride the season long theme, and looking at radar and temps right now its fairly easy to see, its not like we have cold air crashing heights as a system bombs out over sne.

hope the boys in mass can get something out of this

ya you had a good call . looking at the meso site myself (at 1230) pm showed 850's running 4-5 C higher than most 12z guidance had for (what was) close enough to the 18z period.

some times that doesn't mean alot...but with hardly any blocking and NW trends not rely being denied (cept the storm before t-giving) the 12z euro is no suprise to me. i have thought s greens to nh the whole time. ) grinch euro says F SNE.

I don't remember it ever having 0.50" up to us. Last night my maps showed it getting up to around AFN. It was probably a 20mi bump north. Even a bigger bump north with the H85 0C. Regardless we're both in good shape. I'd maybe even be worried with it beginning as a rain/snow mix from CON S and E.

I'm starting to agree with the ALB mets ..that the valley around there wont get much despite being at about MPM's latitude. Gonna be very tough to cool the BL... Eventually they probably flip to a sloppy inch or two like after 9Z.

Still more hopeful here at 1K feet, but probably have to start as rain.

I wonder if I am too bullish for ORH and north. I thought maybe 1-3 for Will and 3-5 for Dave through MPM.

I think Jeff said it was .5 yesterday to CON. It is the banding that has me excited. Looks like a juicy system and Scott says we are on the southern edge of deformation. Cool...I wasn't really expecting a storm, more like a couple of mood inches. With cold air feeding in I'd think we will do okay on the ratios, temps probably go to around 27 or 28 at the height of it.

Kinda cool!

And don't take that in a bad way..that can be a good thing.

I know..it's comical. I thought maybe I was to crabby...but I'm likely not crabby enough..lol.

less than 1 inch of snow has fallen in southern quebec so far.

you are not alone.

when you look at the eastern 2/3 of the continent, only a small area of new england has been snowing in this pattern, and that is remarkable, those people who are seeing snow i hope they realize just how lucky they have been this year.

i gave up on this winter about 2 weeks ago. the stats show that if we torch in fall, we have a **** winter. its the lack of cold air which is killing everyone that is at the heart of this problem.
