joe actually agreed with him and posted it in his blog  yesterday

When JB sats we are screwed you know we are done:

 

"THERE IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR WEST TO EAST DISRUPTIVE WINTER EVENT. This will be similar to Dec 13-14 in that an arctic boundary from the north needs to come through you for you to get into the heavy snow. It will be powdery and it will be a much colder event, partly because its January. Now the problem we have is where does that true front get. I think it gets as far south as New Jersey to Nebraska and so the heaviest snows are likely from the plains to the Appalachians between I 70 and I 80, and north of the Mason Dixon line to I-90 in the NE"

He sees the GFS as not strong enough and while he can see the stronger further north idea of the ECWMF, he believes his in between idea he has is best. He says is it 2" or 12" in NYC? He cant say quite yet but its not some shrinking violet.. He references that this kind of synoptic pattern is one that you can see in great Kocin/Ucceline Snowstorm book.. departing vortex with jet behind, and trailing short digging in with a double jet structure . So he is quite certain we have a big storm.. He does not see it pushed south, never have, but remains uncertain as to where the true arctic front gets. But alot of people are going to get a real dose of a darn cold, major winter storm!

I wouldn't say it's time to give up, we're still 4 days out and a lot can change, but many veterans here know that things generally don't get better for us, especially with miller b's.     It's not impossible, but it does look pretty bleak.  

The idea of a decent first week or so of January is starting to unravel a bit.

I always thought the general rule of thumb was we should call them Miller Busts unless it's actually snowing outside.

Without getting the ns vort to dig below us we're in big trouble and the current trend is what myself and others have been worried about the whole time. It is what is and we're pretty much used to this.

I was encouraged with yesterday's 12 gfs but it was way too close to being bad. When I saw ensemble aupport this am for a north miller b I wasn't surprised. Wasn't happy of course but wasn't shocked

We have some room to get better but if the n solution sticks for another 24 hours we can punt and move on.

We can do ok with the front end pretty often. Modest snow and dryslot. We used to call those busts. Today those are major events.

Too bad the front end stuff is in pa with this one.

GFS long range shows more of what we do best..cold and dry, mild and rainy, followed by more cold and dry.

 

Yup, sad but true!  Though rather than "mild and rainy" I'd say more like "dank and rainy", it's not even warm outside right now.

 

Seems those hints of an emerging -NAO in the longer range GFS have disappeared for the most part.  It really looked kind of hopeful not that long ago.  Or perhaps it was more wishful thinking.

that's why I mentioned the 84 hr. NAM earlier

the model sux but it's jumping all over the northern trend

the +AO and NAO are just killing us for the foreseeable future

Ao just cracked negative and going down. +pna and neutral nao for the thurs storm. And it still makes no difference. How cool is that!?
