Moving past first week of January General Discussion/banter

Icy look...sfc front would probably have no chance of coming back north through the CAD unless we got some sort of pretty powerful sfc reflection cutting through NY State or something...but the mid-level front tries to lift back north. Could be a snow to ice deal for many on that.

We'd love a nice icestorm. Love it

So much for the front blasting through early next week....we're still AOA 0c at 8h next Thursday/Friday per the GFS.

 

Always was a possibility. It looked like a few days ago we'd be able to tickle the front south of us and get a few days near or just below before the big cold blast but that may not happen. We'll see.

I don't know.... no cold high to the north... seems like a little snow flipping to rain for many places. Probably better in the hills but I'd like to see a semi-decent source region.

 

Well its got the same 1030-ish high going from N Maine retreating NE that the Euro had. Euro keeps even Kevin and Hartford below freezing despite 850 temps warming.

 

I've made it well known what I think of the GFS when it comes to CAD so no need to rehash it. Verbatim though you are right that it would be a cold rain for most of us after some frozen to start, but I probably wouldn't believe that verbatim solution at the surface if it were 24 hours out on the GFS.

TBH I didn't even look at the 2M temps on the GFS because they're worthless. While it probably has an icy appeal up north at least here in CT that kind of orientation of a 1028mbish high sliding east through the Maritimes probably won't do it. 

 

For us I really thought we'd need the whole thing to develop a bit south and give us snow. Probably snow or bust down here.

Ive thought the whole time ice is going to be our concern. Deep low level cold and mid Jan is going to mean some big problems. Even in the valley I think

Yeah ice is definitely a bit tougher there...normally need a bit more robust high...not counting the Norfolk area and some of the high places near Union which do it more frequently on weaker high setups.

 

Euro was pretty cold though even down there...not that this really has a ton of bearing yet since we are like 132-144 hours away, lol. This could still end up cutting over Logan11 for all we know.

 

I'd expect to see a lot of model fluctuation over the next couple of days. Handling the southwest energy is far from NWP's list of strengths.

Yes sir. Cold and dry after mid week. Obviously we hope it does not work out like that, but it's a concern

 

Definitely a concern. I think we have a window MLK weekend when the pattern reloads? Otherwise it may turn into a brutal slog of below normal days with bare ground and blue skies. That's like weather water boarding.

meh...i don't see the suppression...the pv lift rights out and then it just gets zonal...and it's not really overly cold in the long range anyway...maybe an overrunning pattern?  the pac jet gets happy again.

It may not be suppression but the location of the PV could keep the flow flat enough to not let anything amplify.

H5 heights are nearly 570dm on Tues as another round of precip moves in on the GFS!  And lowering only slightly over the following day.  There is a surface front in the vicinity but the real cold is hundreds of miles north.  Surface high in Quebec-Maine means some frozen is possible, esp for inland areas.  But we really need the front to penetrate much further south to be in good position for that wave.
