Pattern change on our doorstep - will it deliver the goods? General Discussion/ banter

not sure how it works out sensibly for snow but that would be an awesome pattern.

 

There would prob be a ton of snow and ice overrunning events in that pattern...GFS verbatim cuts a few of those lows into NY State and changes us to rain, but unlikely with those filthy arctic airmasses to the north. Probably a lot of overachievers when you have that type of cold around.

92-93 just wasn't so great in KHVN in terms of total snow... but it was a fun few months. 

 

Yeah...up here we had two >20" storms and a frigid Feb/Mar with plenty of other major events. 2nd snowiest winter on record...but an appeal better than '95-'96 which was the snowiest on record.

 

I liked '00-'01 over '95-'96 too...and '93-'94.

Luckily we don't need colder than normal here to get snow. :)

 

Well that is taking into account the current torch. The 2nd half of this month is absolutely going to be colder than normal I think. We'll see if it outwighs the current positive anomalies. A GFS type scenario would blow them into the stratosphere (no pun intended). But that is an extreme solution.

Lol, the tropopause would be relatively close to the ground in some parts of the CONUS on the 00z GFS. What do you make of the GFS losing the frontal wave OTS?

Meh, I'll wait until the Euro, lol. GGEM actually delays the storm until Thursday and produces a big one.

 

Models will be all over the place with this thing until we get closer.

Misery posting in the snow zone. 

 

Eh, cut Mitch some slack...he is a bonafide snow weenie like many of us. They pretty much have to punt the winter down there with this not being a Nino, and hope for a well timed system. The pattern looks pretty good for NE and we'll likely get ours in this pattern somewhere along the way.

GEFS got colder in the longer range...looks pretty decent.  Less of -NAO, but more -AO...basically moves the -NAO block west to right over the pole.

 

Yeah that is very cold for NE...also a pretty good LES pattern. Prob have the PV near James Bay at times on that. It is def liking the idea of keeping the Canada PV the dominant cold PV on the globe and some bitter air rotating around it.

 

We'll have some great chance if that verifies...both in overrunning events and lots of northern stream clippers....and of course those clipper patterns are great for your LES there...they can turn that wind SW ahead of them and give you guys great snow.

Yeah you can almost envision a situation where the PV/trough orientation is sharper and west (a la the GGEM) and it allows some of the moisture from the Gulf and the stalled out boundary to amplify.

 

That would be nice.

yeah the greenland/ak ridge bridge with the a nice PV tucked underneath is what tends to give the lakes some big events.

 

not quite a KU pattern since the PV is pretty strong...but good for clippers and maybe a redeveloper.

Yeah, classic great LES and New England pattern....I'd hit it. We'd probably see some good event from that. Clipper redevelopers can turn into big ones sometimes when the PV goes through relaxation/relocaton....regardless, we'll see. Its not a surprise we are seeing huge model shifts. We can see the great potential in the pattern, but we've had runs where we see how it goes ugly too.

 

I'd say cautiously optimistic is the way to go right now.

No one who loves snow lives in Virginia. But yeah, Mitch is a special case......

Well he lives in MD. Still a tough place. But I'm sure people in MD say that about those in NC...its all relative. Vim Toot in N Maine thinks we're all morons for hoping for snow too.
