Euro actually isn't terrible...it's .25" at HYA and .29" at CHH

 

It bumped north again a good deal between the 12 and 0z.  Brian mentioned that it's NW of it's ensembles now.

 

Final call: 1-4" on the Cape/Islands west to east. Coating to an inch back to GHG-TAN-UUU...nada NW of there. I could easily see pretty much nothing occurring west of the canal though.

 

thanks Will.  On a north wind the cutoff is going to be right around here, probably just to my SE into Sandwich.

KTAN map, seems reasonable.

Yeah that's a fair map - though im confused because Kevin said snow all the way to the NY border and 1-3" IHBY.

The "wildcard" zone is out by the elbow. If there's some decent ratios...that area might pull a 3 or 4. That, and mild SST + arctic air creates some instability so there's an opportunity for a bit more.

I'm just hoping it's close Phil.  IE, we have something to watch later tonight. 

 

LOL on the new GFS, snow back to the NY border along the coast.

my guess is that the polar vortex isn't slower and that the n. stream energy isn't coming down much more sharply than forecast.  i.e none of the 2 things will mentioned yesterday that would make this a snowier solution for sne, appear to be occuring. 

Bold statement....what tipped you off??

The 5 days worth of trends?

Once this southern system was slowed down...that was it really.   The math behind the models...whether it was the GFS being too aggressive with the northern s/w that had the southern system timed better, or a combination of the two..who knows, but the NCEP guidance, SREF, ensembles failed for a bit on that.   The GFS has that clear tell of being a little too fast/lifts s/w's too much too soon....that was the difference between getting precip up north of DC before it got strung out, and it getting strung out well south of both places.

 

Stepping back and looking at the progression of the Euro (I posted the 72 hour and 60 hour maps yesterday) where it went from a little precip off the Carolinas and gradually shifted north up through last nights run...always seems less prone to the NCEP over jump and then scale back.

Figure in about 2-3 days this shifted 700 or so miles north, but it's about 100 miles too little.

The GFS shows Absolutely NOTHING for us up to 192 hours out for the 4th run in a Row or so, and THEN shows 2 rain events. I might be done with this winter. I've got a dangerous 3-4 inch base that's meltable even in cold weather, Cold on the way for 10 days but No snow, and even if we get something from Wednesday through Monday (23-28) I'll be in LA.

I'm kinda done. Watch Feb. be warm because we just wasted all the cold on the 2nd half of January.

Patience, we're told to have patience.   Ghandi would have snapped after these last two winters.

 

The end of the month warm up/potential cutter has been pretty well signaled for days.  I do think we're rewarded with more cold and dry after that.

This has been a winter straight out of the 1980's here in eastern NE....all we need is Bill Crosby sledding down a hill in the 3" of melting glop.

lol. well ray,  considering will posted that yesterday evening, it was things to look for that would cause this to CONTinue go north further as the SW drops down into the plains finally. He mentioned if it the polar vortex can be slowed down it could tick nw or if the sw dropping into the plains was stronger and more amp'd.

 

the 5 day trend was north by like 600 miles

 

just not enuf.
