Cold Miser Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Scooter and his cronies at WSI just went old skool hammer time. No limp bizkits here . Drop it http://bit.ly/19S1swr Useless and don't care without snow falling. If anything the real cold air just makes me spend more money I don't have on oil.

ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 That was cold and dry but with 3-4 feet falling in the vicinity of Valentine's Day, lol. I guess we got lucky. I know I'm not alone in the thinking that deep cold doesn't lead to good snows up here...I've heard Cold Front and Tamarack express similar sentiments. It's not that it doesn't happen, it's just not our best set up like it is for the Mid-Atlantic and SNE, especially the coast. My point is that its not nearly as bad as you think it is sometimes. There is also a lot variability in these patterns. You can see it just looking through the most similar patterns in the past...some produced well even up to your area and soem didn't. The on theme for the near term (like next week or so) is that it looked unfavorable for a larger coastal. At least in your area. I'm sure getting up into Maine it can be a bit different due to their larger reliance on coastal systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 So for NNE, we don't want a -NAO and we don't want a +NAO...maybe next year we'll have it sit near neutral in a pattern like '52-'53 and then they can hate neutral NAOs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 For all the complaining about the cold, it hasn't been that cold. Sure it's below average but it hasn't been that extreme and morning lows could be much colder. I was looking back on some colder months and we're not even close to how cold it could be. It's also fun watching the ice grow on places that don't normally see it. It should be interesting in a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 If you dont have money to warm the house, move to the deep south. You can buy a house for $100k and pay $900 yearly property tax, and never have to worry about turning the heat on. Though copperhead snakes often live on your back porch, year long balck widow and tarantula treatment is mandatory, you have to fight off the choking humid summer air masses, if you see a flake (once a decade) schools close, and locals still think its the 1960s. Other than that, its a great place to call home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, reminds me of my aunt and uncle back in the 80's, both were retired and had enough of winter, in the fall they moved to South Carolina, by the following fall they were back in Connecticut.

The cold will be more remembered for its longevity on this upcoming (and past coupel days) pattern rather than its intensity. We basically get an arctic airmass sitting over a large expanse of the CONUS for like over a week...its not a quick shot like earlier this month.

It's not that it doesn't happen, it's just not our best set up like it is for the Mid-Atlantic and SNE, especially the coast. Looking at 16 yr of snowfall records here, it seems that once the temperature is cold enough to have snow, just how far below freezing shows little effect on large events. I've recorded 10 storms of 15"+, 26 of 10"+ (including 2 last month) and 69 of 6"+. For each of those sorts, about 60% of the events came with temps in the 20s (slightly more in the upper 20s than lower), 30% were colder and 10% milder. I've yet to record a 6"+ snowfall with temps mainly below 5F here, but in both Gardiner and Ft. Kent I'd have one such event every 3 years. Odd, but tiny sample size.

tamarack Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've only got like 7 more inches than Philly (33" vs 40") on the season, on January 23rd. I think its safe to say that hasn't happened before...northern VT mountain communities running in the same league as Philly at the end of January. Lets hope we never see something like this again, lol. Although its gotta be pretty sweet for the I-95 weenies. Anomalous, but nothing like 2009-10, the year BWI had 10% more snow than CAR, something I wouldn't expect to see again even if I lived to 150. To show how weird that was, the top 5 BWI winters (some in Baltimore pre-BWI) and the bottom 5 for CAR are below. Not much overlap. BWI 77.0....2009-10 62,5....1995-96 58.1....2002-03 51.8....1963-64 51.1....1898-99 CAR 59.6....1943-44 68.5....1961-62 70.3....2009-10 71.2....1947-48 72.6....1950-51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesnichols1989 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I think the Cape scraper comes further west, something about that amount of energy coming through, something has to give, and then the energy after Wednesday time period looks real good.

jamesnichols1989 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 GFS is weak with the energy, it doesn't buckle, too bad, and the GFS is too far north with the energy after Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't necessarily mean the Cape scraper storm (although maybe that happens for some)...just that period in general. It's an interesting setup. You have that initial s/w that sharpens the trough and than there is a monster of a s/w diving out of Canada behind it.

Yeah you have the PV rotating up with plenty of s/w's diving S and then SE along with the ridge out west. The problem obviously is timing the plethora of s/w's coming down..but it has potential.
