Anyone have any long term thoughts for the end of next week?  I've got an important flight with tight connections and the pattern looks stormy.  Should I look into rescheduling or giving myself an extra day?

Congrats to those who got a nice snowstorm last night.  I ended up with .3" of powder.

On the bright side my snowpack survived the week long warm spell and I haven't seen the grass, except for one spot near my septic tank, since December 16th.

This guy Alex at Accuweather has a snowstorm "scheduled" for Monday.  Maybe if enough people protest the date, he can have the storm put on hold for you:

Who will start the count-down-to Super Bowl-weather-disaster thread?  Tomorrow we will be within 10 days, and let's face it, we all want complete meteorological chaos in NJ. We've wished for it since they announced NJ as the site.

Good luck...said storm would have to hit within 12 hrs of game time to be an issue and who knows, could be a rainy cutter which would be no big deal.  (There's been rainstorms in SB's before-see Miami just a few years ago)

That's the worst scoring MJO plot. The GEFS non bias corrected can be off.

 

Whatever it is ... is hilarious how it climbs in strength straight up on the right side of the interface between 6 and 7, and barely touches the line three times like it's super hot.  ts tsss ts , ouch!

Its quite possible that the PV on Saturday actually comes much further south then currently modeled.  Model progs on the american models indicate that upper level energy within the envelope of the Polar Vortex drops down into the Mid Atlantic states.  Right now it is a wait and see process, but if Atlantic moisture could get involved earlier than progged, then I could see interior SNE get in on a few inches of snow as the front swings through the region.

Yeah I saw that.  My question wasn't about a specific storm but just wondering how worried I should be.  I'm thinking of re-booking a day earlier just for the piece of mind.  I'm not sure what that would cost me in terms of real dollars.  I wasn't paying proper attention when I booked the flights and put myself in a spot where a weather delay would be disastrous personally.

Garage ftw... (I should look into replacing my car's battery... 5 years old now)

 

No garage at the Pit.  Have to start the truck every couple of days in this cooler air.

 

I think we need to watch the Monday timeframe carefully, I think there is enough time for this to track and trend south.  Just an observation.

 

There's also enough time for this to track and trend north.  ;)

Crazy Uncle prepares a mega bomb, D6 ...

 

That 500mb vortex is in the process of sinking S leading into that day, which means that within the confines of the Ukmet's imagination ...this thing would most likely evolve into a monster.

Some of the GFS ens are close to showing something like this. EURO had this type of setup, but the trough was really positive and not too separated from the PV, something to keep an eye on for sure. Especially how the last storm snuck up on us within 72 hour lead time, the setup was there (just like this) just need to bring it all together.

Here's Crazy Snowman talking here - Are there chances this little Clipper DOES evolve into something interesting for Monday / Tuesday?  Dig more and such?  The GFS is going the wrong way (more NW now) but I could come home early from LA if I had to but I'd have to decide Quickly.  

 

I'm the one person running home FOR a Snowstorm that isn't even there yet vs. running From one that Is there.

Well it favors more NNE, but I could see some light snow down here...especially your hood.

 

I agree with GC being situated well for this in the context of the 3 southern NE states.  But, I'm not sure that is bears watching as you indicated (for down here).  I'm guessing a pretty non-impacting coating, but not much more than that.
