weathafella Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Pretty dirty looking ridge coming with the "torch". Upper air yes but mslp in eastern Canada won't rocket temperatures at least here if the GFS is right at all. It was on last nights euro as well. So the first part of the torch may underwhelm in parts of SNE and certainly NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then still that clipper and psuedo overrunning thing perhaps Saturday. The pattern in general looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sad winter. Areas around me got like 2+ inches yesterday where I got a mere half a inch....tell me whats more depressing than that, and to make it even more sad....areas only 5-10 mins away from me. Screw this...2012-13 ftw. February/march/april are the only last months of anything decent but even though I like a good snowstorm in March/April..it will f-king melt the next day if the sun is out even if temps are below freezing. I'll come back one day when I get atleast 2+ inches. 7F outside.....-2F tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then still that clipper and psuedo overrunning thing perhaps Saturday. The pattern in general looks awful. We have not seen a "dirty" torch yet, see no reason why this might be outside of a seabreeze in and around Boston. Hopefully we can touch 70, thats the watermark for me, we easily cruised into the 60s last weekend, this warm up looks much more impressive.

Logan11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm not gonna worry about a torch that is a week away when I have a beautiful 6 to 7 inch snow cover and 19 degree sunshine shimming on the white fields. For the most part a cold wintry week ahead so gotta enjoy it in this junk winter. Then if it torches for a week maybe we can have some fun around February 1st...traditionally our snowiest month.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Beach time with 576dm heights into New England: WIth a south flow and low clouds in the AM that wouldn't verify as warm as you'd think..We torch on west winds this time of year.

weathafella Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Nice 1-3 event on the Euro for most of us Thursday nite..and maybe something next Saturday..HArd to tell..then it's over I think low snow expectations for the. Upcoming events are best, the last one over performed with oncoming deep but brief cold. These are strictly waa snows with cutters most likely. Fridays snows will be a torch IMHO by Tuesday's guidance. I do think we have a shot or 2 in Feb only because I doubt BOS ends up with 2 inches for the season...lol.

It would still be very mild...but not 70's and 80s It doesn't have to be in the 70s to get huge departures; it's mid-January. The southerly flow and warm 850s would ensure that nighttime lows are 20-30F above average. If that low were any further north, we would have SW winds and absolutely bake with 850s near 10C.

weathafella Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anyone still want to see snow in October? I know Will and I disagree but at least for BOS, the correlation between measurable and overall season shows a dead ratter should have been expected here. But we digress....cold followed by warm.

powderfreak Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Man what a temperature gradient today... downright arctic January chill up here with temps in the low to mid single digits and fresh snowpack.

CT Rain Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I still think Friday is something worth watching. GFS ensemble members have some amped up re-developer solutions. Definitely not a lock but something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a lock but something to watch. Glorified warm front as jb used to say? Gateway to the torch which of course all of us would happily accept.

Only places right on the shore would be somewhat protected by the south winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I dunno about in Mass, but some of the marginal areas may have lost their snow in the thaw Thur night/Fri AM. Most of the snow around Albany bit the dust so you'd think they had nothing. Sad winter for anyone in valleys. 14F here now and 5 to 7 inches on the ground maybe we finally get a sub zero night. In epping nh right now. 5" otg here. Crazy gradient as Hampton tolls have nothing but head not even 3 miles west and there is 2-3" otg. Crazy coastal front.
