NYC/Tri-State Area: Stumbling into January Disco


earthlight

Recommended Posts

CMC shows nearly .50" of precip for LI and .30"-.40" for NYC.

LOL. Terrible model.

Given that central long island only trails slightly behind mt earthlight with accumulations the last three winters, I bet it verifies and they get a foot while the rest of us drool over our high cirrus clouds.

This is a pattern change and the source of the change comes 1/6-1/10. The stream of lows coming off Asia will continue to pull the Alaskan Vortex a little bit more west each time, until ultimately a classic La Nina pattern sets up mid-month. Serious Pacific Lows / cold air is possible for the Northwest during this time. A -EPO / gradient pattern will possibly setup thereafter, too, giving New England a helluva better pattern than the one we've got now.

All pattern recognition techniques / analogs had this idea of a -EPO / RNA mid-month leading to a -NAO ~ January 20th. We'll see about that. But in terms of the Pacific, it is legitimate. And wouldn't you know it, it has a lot to do with the stratospheric warming everyone was ripping apart as useless.

GFS again showing a nice gradient pattern setting up in the mid-long range. Cold pours down from canada, and it seems like theres plenty of it. Could get a nice overrunning event, but for now, its just nice to see the 0z GFS not showing a big time torch in days 7+

It looks like a -EPO,-PNA and -NAO pattern on the GFS. ( HM was talking about this )

HM, the voice of reason with true expertise in whats REALLY happening. We are about 10 official days into winter folks. Below zero weather with a 100 inches of snow hasn't fallen yet so there for Winter fail. Worst winter evah! Blah blah blah. People get a grip! Oh and happy new year everybody!

I just don't get why some people already threw in the towel for this winter. Doesn't make sense at all.

No torch??? How could this be? Aren't every model runs set in stone? Damnit I was getting my sun tan lotion and beach towel ready. Oh well.

So you're telling me the GFS isn't cold in the mid to long range?

I really define cold as basically for us being colder than minus ten degrees Celsius when it comes to 850 mb temperatures. If the GFS is off by a little in that time range, then for us it would be near seasonal temperatures.

The NAO charts show it being positive. GFS has a nice look to it in the mid to long range. Way different than the previous run.

Please show me a -nao anywhere on these H5 charts...

There was a raging +NAO all winter of 1993-94.

I'm not debating synoptic set ups, but anthony said there was a -nao showing up. I don't see it.

(ps, I was 7yrs old, best school/ice days here in Philly!) and thank the lord for wood burning stoves :-)

Because, the simple reason, everyone wants to get the KU or another repeat of 2009-2010-2010-2011; two of the greatest winter seasons that one could ask for.

Let's face it, I had a combined total of 122" for those two seasons, which is incredible.
