18z GEFS mean is awesome beyond day 7

It always looks awesome past Day 7 lol. There's really nothing to get to excited about honestly, the gfs shows mostly rain for all the storms that come across. You can't exactly make the 1993-1994 comparison because the low level cold is not as strong this time. 

 

I wish we could have a massive high 1040+ drilling down across the northern plains keeping the disturbances down south until they blow up by us instead of cutting like the 18z gfs shows. 

 

The 2/5 system looks a little bit more interesting but it cuts again due to SE ridging and the highs are moving east up north. So I guess snow to rain is our best hope right now. Not trying to be negative, but the pattern is not the same one I thought it would be a few days ago.

I am quelling my excitement till after superbowl to see whether or not we do get some good snow threats. just going to sit back and watch the model waffling since the models haven't been too good outside of 72-96 hrs consistently this year.

I did u tell you no mid week storm. Focus on the SB weekend. Think you will do fine from that point going forward

the 93/94 storms were always modeled to be rain 7 -8 days out also.

February is much more of a snow month than an ice month in the general area...not to say it can't happen...but with the mean jet exiting the US at its southernmost point of the year & sea surface temperatures at their lowest...I'd bank more on snow than ice during February.  December & January generally see a good deal more freezing rain in this area than in February.

yes paul you were right.....again :whistle: you have been pretty on point this winter and it proved it yet again. but like I said post-SB weekend It should be favorable for NYC point S&E. SB weekend I fear will be more a tainted mess for the NYC proper area

You obviously haven't done your homework, and I'll leave it at that.

This upcoming pattern prob favors areas from I 80 N , Not sure how good I will do . I need weaker systems to WAA and prob end as

drizzle for me .

Or hope I get enough confluence to keep the low  cold level air in .

Anything dynamic prob cuts IMO .

Then by D 15 the trough is in the EAST .
