Baroclinic Zone Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Nice cold shot this past week. Maybe some mood snow for the interior tomorrow. Models are pointing towards a system by next weekend. Duration of warm up is still in question. Euro mutes it to a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be an extended period of non polar air but its also not going to be Virginia weather. Up and down until the 18th-20th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We're going to have a day or two where we furnace into the 50s I think. But hopefully the trough comes east fairly quickly like the 00z Euro shows...which actually gives us a winter storm threat on the 15th. The worry is the Phil Scenario where the trough gets hung up to the west for an extra 48 hours and we just torch for 2 more days....that would finish off all the snow pack even up into CNE. Hopefully that doesn't happen and we get more of a 00z Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Please GEFS. If that pattern actually developed. We'd probably have a solid shot at our coldest day since Jan '04 or Jan '05. Not that I really care that much about the cold unless we have snow. Jan '04 can go shove it for the lack of snow here. I guess we did keep our 3" snow pack on the ground all month. I'd take a lot of Januarys over 2004...but the cold would be interesting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 38F and sunny. In the sun there's about 4-6" remaining, still 10+" in some of the areas that never get sun. Snow will probably be all gone in the unprotected areas but some will remain in shaded areas after this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That AK ridge retros enough to get a weak se ridge with the PV in Hudson Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But January 2005 ...wow oh wow. I thought the GEFS looked great with the trof axis for plenty of storms with cold available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Classic Kevin 3 step process to accepting the torch: Step 1: Yeah I don't think it will really be that bad...a day or 2 near 40 won't really do much for the snowpack...and back to deep winter right after. Step 2: I mean yeah we might sneak a 50F in there for a day just like we've been saying. Then maybe a few days of 40s....but still no big deal. The mets here are making it sound like winter is over. Step 3: Our snowpacks toast. A few days over 50F is terrible and I will not be opening the shades this whole week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Looking at the North Conway site that ginxy posted....check out the photo gallery. One thing I want to do on the first summer post retirement is try to hike the huts across the Appalachian Trail. Time will not be an object and hopefully health won't be. Summer of 2018 is the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'05 as having a fierce Arctic outbreak sometime around the 3rd or 4th of the month. I guess it didn't last too long though, Jan. '04 was clearly the colder month.
