This is some 9 days out, why even take it seriously right now.

Precisely because the euro is picking up on low level cold air at this range. The se ridge loving euro. This run is so tantalizingly close to a huge snow storm even for NYC. All this hoopla about the pattern not being good for NYC is just negative posters being negative posters again. There will be a battleground. It will likely be south of NYC. Strong high pressures and or weak blocking will fix that. Happened all December.

All you need is the low to be slightly weaker than the Euro or a little stronger block to the north.

2-11-94 was all about the low level cold air holding in with a weak enough wave to run far

enough south. The 500 mb is as ugly as it gets for 12" storms around here. I don't think anyone

would look at 500 mb and think major snowstorm.

A little further south would be another 2-11-94 which had a nasty ice storm on its southern flank.

Have 3 days or so  to figure out if the retrogression of the ridge is real . And if we can a little confluence to have one of these belly under then its possible. 

We just picked up 1 -2 on a S WIND here Sat , so it wants to snow here . lets see if our luck continues

The GFS just bellies right on under , but in 78 and 96 before the blizzards , a week prior a storm cut to the lakes in an overall cold pattern . So its possible .

 

What's the 360 hr control temps look like since the last time it did well with the recent cold?

Thanks. The low level Arctic air coming down into the Midwest then East  will be impressive under that big Alaskan Arctic

high that slides down.

Think i`m at my Euro map limit , sorry John  360 hour Ensembles is just Coast to Coast cold . Not bitter , but cold enough

The day 8-9 Ensembles have a nice look on the EC

Heights still connect from the PAC  over the Pole

Canada is an ice box . Not sure if that's where it stays .

given the euro's ens support for cutting north and the general pattern, i would pretty much give up on saturday's event if you want snow here. the next system looks much more interesting. we need it to be weak as bluewave said.

1st one cuts Fork , but in 78 and 96 both  had a cutter  a week before the Blizzards .
