ctsnowstorm628 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Yeah no kidding. Rain all the way into northern VT...probably some front end garbage mix to rain for just about everyone in NNE. Awful. I'm at 1100' and it'll flip to rain guaranteed, but some places above 2500' may stay all frozen, but 850 will be close to or above freezing, so its garbage. Better than 50F and rain I suppose lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 It's awful. I am was my Aunt's place in Allegany County, NY @ 2300' and there was green grass with hints of a bit of nascent growth (like you'd see around mid April) in the fields. A few patches of rapidly melting soggy remnants of the LES they had earlier last week. I checked myself for ticks afterward because you can't feel safe that they are all dead even in January. If it's above 40 you should always check for ticks. At least the long range is starting to look interesting. Maybe there will finally be a decent March too.

ineedsnow Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 about a 5% chance of coming close enough but you never know i guess its pretty sad when we are looking at something like this in january 18z GFS brings Kev's low a little closer.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 At this point, just some light advisory events would be good. We have to get some snow pack down across the region...even to our west to start feeding back on this air masses in the low levels. It makes a difference. How much of the conus is below average this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsnowstorm628 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 18z GFS is damn cold for Thursday storm.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You're joking, right? No snow besides maybe a flurry at the coast tomorrow night... I don't see much at all on the 16th... the 21st could be interesting but we'll see. You are actually becoming irritiating. It's just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Why does anyone look at that pos Thank you.

Yeah, the mood around town is awful when talking about next week. If we can somehow escape with little rain taint that'll be fine with everyone, especially with seasonable temps incoming late week.

MarkO Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 GFS looking MUCH better for me up north. Snow to ice to dryslot to sprinkles back to snowshowers. Looks to be mostly white than wet form the previous washout run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Upper level flow is fairly zonal, separating a cold airmass to the north from a warm airmass to the south over a short distance ... definition of a gradient. The orientation doesn't matter ... it's still a gradient pattern. There doesn't have to be a SE ridge present. What is a non-gradient pattern though? Isn't there always a gradient somewhere? Everyone has been talking about gradient pattern since October but isn't every pattern technically gradient? It just depends on where it sets up. Someone gets snow and south of there gets mix or rain, way north stays cold and dry. There's always a gradient where ever the jet is located, no?

Exactly why l said later next week will be good, if not great if the Thursday storm stays frozen Trust me, I could be much worse off and I know that for sure.

OKpowdah Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 18z GFS has keeps the trough positively tilted as it dives into the Midwest, so downstream ridging isn't pumped up as much. Keeping the wintry threat alive for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Burke doesn't make alot of snow, they rely on mother nature HEAVILY. Thats why the mood is 'so,so' thus far. 16 trails open out of 50 thus far.
