Rjay Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The snowicane back in Feb 2010 had one of the sharpest & strangest R/S lines I have ever seen. Also rivaled some of the greatest storms in regards to snowfall rates. Def in my top 3 for snowstorms.. 25-38" widespread up here Its was paste in the first half of the storm right?

PB GFI Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Once past Thursday , the Euro gives the East a break for a bit , we lose the Neg EPO and Neg WPO , they head to neutral , the PNA does rise but it ushers air that's pacific in nature .Later this week into early next week we are above normal , but once into next week even when the tough comes back in to the East the Air mass is polar pacific not arctic and modify easy as they come across the country , so be surprised if you see the trough in the east and we are prob close to normal . The source region will change and we get pinched off from true over the top arctic air through Christmas week as per the Euro Ensembles . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this statement looks like were going to have to now focus after the new year as the -EPO replenishes. Who knows maybe we'll get "some" blocking as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a MJO 4 December thaw for a few days as the Euro ensemble holds serve with the the low tracking near or just west of us. It gives the SE ridge just enough of a boost to keep the storm from slipping to our SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Its was paste in the first half of the storm right? Yeah, paste is one word, cement is another. Some of the wettest snow I've ever seen for the first part of that storm but it flipped to powder as the colder air made it's way back in at night. Spend nearly four days without power or water, needess to say, I have a generator now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 -PNA expected to venture into positive territory although not going strongly positive -NAO still showing no signs of developing any sort of blocking towards the end of the month. Staying solidly positive -the driving force of this cold weather really the strongly negative EPO is expected relax ( reload if you will ). Opening the door for warmer air in comparison to what were experiencing now. Not really excited for any winter weather past this week.

REDMK6GLI Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Blzzard Sunday CHICAGO as per Euro Home game for the chicago bears? Because the philly game has made me a huge fan of snowy nfl games lol More to the LR forecast PB, do you see january currently becoming more condusive for big snowstorms on the east coast assuming the -EPO returns with a vengeance? The idea of no blocking showing up on LR models isnt encouraging either. With 95-96' analog being thrown around questions like these i think are going to inevitably be asked as the month winds to a close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chietanen Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It truly can pour snow at times during heavy lake effect bands. By far, the most perfect dendrites and just absolutely blinding (no due to wind either). Erie, PA was probably the most impressive for me...I witnessed thunder snow on at least three or four times while living there. I do remember one night when it snowed about a foot and a half overnight, unexpectedly. Spent the first 20 years of my life living in South Buffalo and it's incredible what those snow bands can do. I went to school downtown and I remember a few occasions leaving school with clouds and dry conditions and getting home to find a foot of snow had fallen. The worst one I remember was in the late 90's when we got about 38" of snow overnight. Unfortunately, I had moved out of the area when they got slammed with upwards of 6 feet of snow in 1 week in the early 2000's (it was Christmas week IIRC). You could always tell when the snow band was on the move as the winds would start to pick up. In the heart of those bands it's just incredibly heavy snow with no wind whatsoever. The snowicane back in Feb 2010 had one of the sharpest & strangest R/S lines I have ever seen. Also rivaled some of the greatest storms in regards to snowfall rates. Def in my top 3 for snowstorms.. 25-38" widespread up here This was the worst experience of my snow weenie life! Poughkeepsie was literally on the rain/snow line. Left work in Fishkill the morning it started with about 6" of snow, changed to rain on my way home and continued to rain (with occasional snow) until the next morning when it finally changed (and ended). Fishkill ended up with 2 ft+. I think my backyard had somewhere around 8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had about 10" at the end and Central Park ended up with 21". The rain snow line was sharp as a razor over central Queens for much of the initial part of that. It went from a blinding blizzard in Long Island City to soaking rain south or east of Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 The weekend forecast is far from cut and dry, it will be the case where if you're on the warm side, it could be in the mid 60's while on the other side it's in the 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SACRUS Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 10th straigh day of below avg temps at NYC and now standing at -2.5 for the month. Also have recorded 5.43 of precip since Nov 26th.

Guest Pamela Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Same list here, except I'd change 1/15/04 to 1/27/04 (suspect that is what you meant as well). I might add 4/9/1996 to the list. Probably '78 too, although my recall of that detail isn't as specific...I think there were a few hours of crazy rates on 2/6. Yes Ed, I *always* confuse those 2...good catch on your part. One was 8 inches here and the other 10. And one was accompanied by incredibly cold temps. I was asked at work today what I thought tomorrow would bring, and cravenly borrowed a line from that federal agent in The Firm... saying it..."could go either way"...but I think we have a decent shot at this latitude, being right next to 41 N. There were several events last year where the intrusion of warm air in Port Jeff were overestimated. The main problem was that while it snowed when rain was predicted, it was often too warm to accumulate and didn't amount to anything anyway.

SACRUS Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Whether the ecm is too warm or not with its 850 temp of 15-16 this sat/sun, the weekend should see a significant warmup and it would not be shocking to see some readings approach 60 on sunday. Likely more of a speed bump of warmth christmas week before we head back to colder weather towards the last week and into new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I want to see what develops along the front next week after the sunday torch. hearing from this sub-forum and NE that they're may be a wave that can develop and ride up into the northeast potentially delivering some good snows. after this storm today, looks like this will be the next legit threat until the pattern relaxes and maybe restarts for the 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 It looks like the warm coming this weekend is timed pretty well with the MJO 4 pulse. But a quick return to the COD after means that the warmer temperatures will be transient as the -EPO sends another Arctic high south early next week.
