The First Week of Jan..Bitter cold,Balls drop as we ring in 2013

[CoastalWx]

It's Friday - snowed here almost a week ago...still on some of the trees...still looks nice: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357327573.059013.jpg

Wow that's pretty good. More than here.

I said based off the anomaly maps (at the 850 level), which show the highest 850 temp positive departures over SNE, I would assume and likely be correct that the actual anomaly of +75 that I calculated for NYC, would be the same for BOS and a lot of SNE.

 

Give me the average high and low for BOS for next week, and I can quickly calculate it.

 

wait you are really confusing me, are we talking surface temps off of text soundings or 850 temps converted to surface temps. Is 75-80 a weeks total, or 5 days? Is that average daily temp?

After 2 days its been panned and groomed, I am riding on it......

Apparently down in the Deep South in Va it snows , turns black and is gone all in the same day

Surface temp anomaly. +75 - +80 is an 8 day total based off the 12z euro.

My neighbor has been out snowmobiling in his front/side yard for the past few days.

I wonder if E MA can get an inverted trough on Monday morning to produce some light snow. SREFs def hinted at that. Euro hinted at it too to lesser extent.

[forkyfork]

the euro is much above average for at least several days and there's no way you can spin it otherwise

Mon looks interesting for Ray to Phil for a wintry appeal day.

+54 to +60 for KBOS from Tuesday to Sunday of next week.

NYC is warmer, anomaly wise, because  Sunday and Monday coming up, is much warmer then in Boston.

What are the snowshowers in the forecast here for next thursday associated with?

It had a very high water content. The snow plow piles are "huge" for what was 4-5" of snow.

I like the way Ens and models are keying in on a swift reversal with super cold air available for the last two weeks of Jan. Could be an enjoyable run. Lets get out of the thaw period and hope today's Ens runs are an indication.

Well again in the north where its cold that doesn't happen. Typically it snows its cold after a storm and we play in it and enjoy looking at it. Our snow doesn't turn slushy or black. We use salt not tar to clear the roads

 

 

Because when you get around by horse and buggy you don't need the roads very clean so you use salt. Who the hell uses tar to clean the roads?.

NWS calling for high's around 43F here for wednesday - friday next week.

I'm surprised a bit at the lack of moisture on guidance. Usually doesn't take much to squeeze out some precip. I'm hoping this becomes better over the next few days

apparently Ji's hood, his snow turns black he said.

Cautious optimism for 1/15-->

There have been a couple runs here and there that squeeze out decent precip. But overal, yeah they have been relatively dry. Yesterday's Euro had like a tenth on the Cape/South shore just for the inverted trough stuff.

huh?

[forkyfork]

snow turns black anywhere there's enough car traffic.  i have family in portland and even their snow gets dirty

[ORH_wxman]

Yes, it almost has a BD front appeal...but more like from the due north. It could be the type of day where the high temps are at like 10-11am...esp this time of year when the sun is so weak.

 

Hopefully Phil gets something from that...it looked like OES might become favorable for the Cape for a few hours there.

[ravensrule]

I don't know what he is talking about, obviously on the main roads the snow turns black after a few days because so many cars are around. The side roads and neighborhoods stay perfectly white as long as it stays cold enough here. In the MA forum there were some numbers showing that even after the huge storms of 09-10 the longest snow cover we had of 1" was 17 days.

[ravensrule]

huh?

 

It was a joke responding to Kevin's living in the south comment.

Yeah no doub't, I would never live in an area that can't retain a snow pack

Oregon?

Ji said his yard, all snow on the side of any road gets ragged looking but man black snow, that's got to suck. Tobacco farm pollution?

I still have about 10" of snow on my deck from accumulated snowfall since December 24th:

There is definitely something nice about living in a place that has a constant snow pack.

Snow pack up here has not budged and is just as white as when it fell
