CoastalWx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 How has this cold shot warmed? It has looked the same for a while. Maybe 510 thicknesses instead of 504 thicknesses, but i do not see this as warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I could not believe how much this "cold shot" has warmed in forecasts when I got back this morning, its simply incredible. Hope you had a great New Years Steve! The cold shot is exactly as forecast, what are u talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I know it's some sort of perverse defense mechanism, but I wish you'd stop employing the past tense in refernce to this winter....It's January 2nd. The irony seeing how just the other day you were exclaiming that we have NO CLUE what will happen with regard to future weather. Past tense as in calling December a bust on Dec 2, like the thread you made? Oh ok nevermind, I will speak of this winter however I choose, just like you do making your threads whining about lack of snow in your little world, hilarious you would say this to me when you created an entire thread about dec being a bust on dec 2nd.

Maybe 510 thicknesses instead of 504 thicknesses, but i do not see this as warming. probably because when it was 8 days out it was modeled as -22C 850s...now its like -16C. same garbage all the time. so so tiresome. i honestly don't get it. unless of course, just having us respond to the post is the point. in which case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yesterday the forecast was actually warmer then this. Three days ago it was almost identical to this, although Wednesday night may have warmed slightly. Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 25. Northwest wind between 11 and 15 mph. Tuesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 4. Wind chill values as low as -8. Northwest wind between 10 and 15 mph. Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 22. West wind between 8 and 10 mph. Wednesday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's funny how one or two winters where SNE had a good snowpack, makes people only think December and January are the winter months. How quickly we forget our Decembers where it rained on the coast...even into January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Nothing here today.. Lake Ontario bands to the north in the ADK's. Lake Erie bands carrying all the way to the western Catskills, but south of here,.... Just BKN to OVC and 32 with a gusty wind. It ripped a piece of fascia off an eve of the house. The Ontario stuff may sweep down tonight for a 30 or 60 minute squall.

How quickly we forget our Decembers where it rained on the coast...even into January. this goes back to what we talked about in the fall - it never used to snow in december on the CP. it was always "west of 495" crap. it's just the last several years that have people thinking that winter starts 12/1.

LOL That was a prediction made with confidence, which in retrospect was correct and justified There is a difference between going on record with a specific prediction for a specific time period, and just generally speaking of the winter in the past tense before we have even reached the halway point. You are always so quick to get defensive and take digs whenever anyone questions your mentality.....so insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it many times, growing up on the extreme CP in SWRI, we expected to skate and sled in Jan. Dec was always an iffy time. My best snows and times of winter have always been on average from mid Jan to late Feb. not saying it will happen but climo wise the tide has turned.

When I was growing up, we indeed did expect snow to be otg in December and it happened. We're in one of those cycles now with this likely being an off year. From the 1970s through the 90s, it was less likely to have good snows prior to January but in years that started late, invariably they ended late.

Logan11 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Forecast high of 17 here tomorrow... We had a few days in December that didn't get out of the low 20's so not that much colder with this shot...just more thankless cold and dry wx.... The really interesting thing this season so far is the absolute inability to mix any moisture with cold air. Plenty of sub freezing days here in Dec. mixed in with the mild spells, but the two streams will never interact right to produce snow. Southern stream = cold rain, Northern stream = too far north every time. I'm sure this has happened before though in some of those really low snowfall winters we remember. Not too late to turn this around. Wow what a torch yesterday +16 at ORH very impressive, I can only imagine how cold a -16 would feel. Lowest high temp here all week is 29 tomorrow then right back to above normal by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've always equated Dec with having snow OTG and a decent snowpack More often than not we do. Even some of the less wintry winters we at least get some snow in Dec. The fact we had a snowless one really makes it bad and seem endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always so quick to get defensive and take digs whenever anyone questions your mentality.....so insecure. I made a very specific forecast on October 16th 2011 for bdr Dec +1.1 J+0.2 F-0.1 Total snowfall for BDR 37 inches. Dec was an absolute blowtorch I am confindent Jan comes in above normal, and I think there are signs that FEB and March will be another absolute blowtorch. BDR will not sniff 37 inches of snow and my temps are entirely too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yea, we are due for some December clunkers....I avged 25.4" in the four year spean from '07-'10.. Not normal lol Conversely, I have avged 5.4" through March in the same span....and most of it fell in that March 1 '09 event, which just made the cut. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 it's different interior vs cp too. Even my first 7 winters when I lived in Central Jersey we had snow in some of the Decembers. My mom has pics of us in the snow on Xmas day with sleds and stuff like that . Decembers usually get some snow even on the coast, I don't think it's too crazy to say this was the worst December of all of our lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
