Ginx snewx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Many years folks would kill for a winter like this in New England. Once they wrap their hands around the idea that it's a nickel and dime winter and well BN temps..they'll be able to enjoy it. The ones looking for KU's and jackpot fetishes are simply going to suffer Well said, just got back in from sledding. Fast and furious conditions. Not that cold. Sun brilliant off the refreshed snow. Looks like lots of chances for wintry precipitation. Not something everyone wants to hear but I smell ice for areas that rarely worry about it. Somebody cashes in with repeated long duration snow.

CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You guys forget how bad the 80s were. It was tough to even pull off 6"+. I know. Many of the young weenies have no idea how exciting it was to get a 3-6" event. Gods honest truth. 10" would cause you to get Hospitalized due to excitement. I mean it was so brutal.

Typhoon Tip Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 More than less agree ... but the SE ridge, I would suggest, is/has always been there, but is merely being compressed at times by absurdly deep SPV over southern/SE Canada. The SE ridge has been plaguing since ... really the late 1990s. NCEP has at times mentioned this. Also, a -NAO can exist (though one is not likely during the next two weeks, just point of fact...) concurrent with a SE ridge; we'd just end up with the same sort of compressed appeal. But agree in principle that this is and has been a -EPO winter, and that looks to continue for the foreseeable future. Re compression: the proof is in the fact that there are more isopleths on the charts than can be counted, and the flow everywhere is Neptunian (speaking in hyperbole of course...). In my opinion, if you are a winter storm enthusiast, the 00z Euro licks donkey balls. I sometimes wonder if the optimism I keep reading in the moments after a model cycle are manufactured because as in the great words of Nelso Muntz, "Some people prefer delusion over despair," and a similar phenomenon occurs in modeling interpretation. Dry through D7, save for a squall maybe with that polar fropa around D4/5, then warm front blithely transporting N on a Lakes Cutter. I don't know how we can spin that to be a "good" solution for snow. Cold, sure... I guess one thing we could suggest is that the west bias of the Euro in the extended "might" implicate a better track with that cutter on future runs. We'll see. Also, this next big arctic cold insert into the GL, similar to the last one that set records, ... it doesn't really get here in the same panache. It starts modifying almost immediately, arriving here more on westerly trajectories with risen thickness'. Overall, just as yesterday, I see a cold pattern devoid of meaningful storminess ... due in large part because of a generalized interference on a larger scales. Namely, fore-said SE ridge compression underneath the might of a wicked SPV creates too fast of a flow for systems to operate and produce the goods. Can we get a nickles here and there ... perhaps. But I have no truck with admitting this pattern blows for storm threats, albeit cold, and won't spin up any optimism until I honestly see it differently. But that's just me... Now, watch the 12z runs arrive with the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Still wondering Scooters idea/ forecast for SB snow I think my first guess for SNE would be snow to ice interior..snow to mix/rain coast. Perhaps it waits until more Sunday night. GFS suite would be nice, but do not buy all snow at the moment. Also think euro op too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ray, to compare your January to dryslot's or mpm's is to compare 2000-01 with 2001-02 for BOS. Ok, compare theirs to Alaska's...what is your point?? Someone always has it worse. I was just joking with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Going against the non storm idea some tv mets are implying.7 days is an eternity in the weather world, best outcome would be huge bust as TWC, Accubullies all call for cloudy and then overnight CF slips south of NYC and SW blossoms with heavy overrunning snow.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 he was saying your Jan and their Jan were polar opposites. Actually, no. Pretty sure he was saying that while this January has been frustrating here, its been down right sub par up there. 2000-2001 was a decent winter for Boston, but highly frustrating with the gradient around rt 495.....2001-2002 was just downright abysmal.

I'm lucky I can check my mail on our internet, streaming video would be a miracle. As for the TVs, they are designated for situational awareness only, no entertainment. I could probably stretch the idea that the upstream weather in NYC is relevant to what we'll eventually experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
