Next week ... Cold temps, but will it snow?

Fri/Sat could be something.... Sometimes you get like a caboose system before the whole thing lifts out. If it happens I'm gonna savor any snow and worry about the thaw later. This is the kind of winter when you enjoy your cold spots and nobody is gonna build up much snow pack probably. Then we live to fight again in early February.

You mean 0.1-0.3?

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.

Yeah, we lost ours, next town over has a little more elevation and they're still covered in white. It'll probably make a big difference on our lows tonight.

I'd like to see that clipper for next Fri dig a little more but I am def interested in hopefully getting a little redevelop S of LI...even without it, there should be a band of WAA snows. Its still pretty far out, so a lot can change, but I don't wind the setup on it mostly because there's very good cold in place for it so we can handle a variety of solutions and see snow as long as there is precip.

As for currently...we should go plenty cold tonight with that secondary surge of cold air still currently up in VT.

Yeah I agree Will. I felt good seeing a lot of GEFS members do some fun things with it.

18z op GFS is a fail.

At least something is on the table.

The entire period from hour 240-324 period is one big ice storm on the 18z gfs. Temps in the 20's. Massive high parked to our north. I know it's super fantasy range, but taken verbatim, GFS is ice.

BTW, Directv pulled WHDH from the lineup in Boston. Not sure what Sunbeam is thinking....there isn't a show I watch on NBC aside of SNL which I can watch most of it online anyway.

Nothing exciting on the GFS, that "ice" storm will end up north like all the others.

retrans battle. Lots of tv stations/ownership groups are battling with their carriers (cable or satellite) demanding higher fees for their programming.

Says on the directv site a 300% increase in fees. It's the three markets that Sunbeam is in, they pulled all 3. Sadly I won't miss it, there's nothing on NBC aside of SNL of any interest at this point.

Snow....the GFS at 240 hours...you really need to squint and hold the computer sideways to take anything from it.

We might have to watch that systme behind the clipper too for more snow/ice than OP runs prog...a lot of ensembles are colder, and you always have to be careful with high pressure north of Maine right before an event. We saw it in this last event...over performed despite the history of this winter so far...synoptic setups determine how well the event produces, not how crappy the winter has been.

Given our time frame on all of this, it could all be irrelevant once we get closer, but I'm just posting some thoughts on what you need to be looking out for on these types of systems.

Did you lose most of your snow?

No, we have a solid 2.5-3" and its a total slab of concrete...we only spike to like 38-39F yesterday for a few hours...I think just a little south got into the mid 40s. We had a solid crust of ice on everything too before the spike from all the light freezing rain and FZDZ yesterday morning...so that had to melt first before any snow did.

Here's holy cross on the southern side of ORH...they still look to have an inch or two and they torch way worse than here

Got to live for today and not worry about tomorrow this winter.... If we have a shot at a decent snow from the clipper go for it and if it melts away 2 days later so be it.... February FTW I'm thinking...

And maybe no analog at all, but.... we torched horribly in late January 1978 and lost all of our considerable snow pack. 60F...Obviously it worked out in February. :)

:lol:
