snowstormcanuck Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 12z Op Euro agrees with the torch, obviously. Widespread 50's, to some probably getting into the 60's for a couple of days...verbatim. Quickly after that though, there's probably some wintry opportunities. All la la land of course... If we could see 264 there'd probably be a snowstorm for someone in our subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Jim Ramsey seemed to be really optimistic for light snow tonight and over the weekend! It's kinda funny since he usually downplays winter events, especially more than a few days out! Sitting at 26-27° right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weekend opportunities I can see, but tonight probably not much chance for more than maybe a few flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Cat 1 and I were basking in the sunlight until the clouds moved in a little while ago. Up to 22 F out in the tundra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 12z runs have Saturday-Sunday looking interesting for some wintry appeal in places. I'd keep my eye on it... Congrats...me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 With limited forcing and our s/w getting sheered to **** I'd be happy to see a flurry tonight... BTW perfect January day after the early morning stratus moved out, looks like a high of 26 for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a debacle...850 mb temp anomalies peaking in the 16-20C range (ensemble mean more muted as you would expect) next week. Shows you what kind of potential there is if there are no mitigating factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 18z GFS rolling... gotta check every run to make sure this Post-torch arctic air is still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roardog Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 At least it looks like the torch next week should be fairly brief. The bad news though is that it will most likely wipe out nearly all the snowpack in this subforum. On an off topic note, I like reading the New England forum because there is a lot of great information from the mets that post there but is there anyone more annoying than Ct Blizz? Seriously?

cyclone77 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pretty impressive temp rise here today. After starting at the coldest temp of the season (3 above), we climbed all the way back to 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame how hard it can be to get the snowpack and how easy it is to be wiped out. I'm just hoping that the yoop hangs onto its snow, but even that will likely take a major hit.
