I wonder how long this EPO regime is going to last. As long as it's negative, then we'll see plenty of cold shots and frozen threats (at least snow to rain). To really have a shot at all snow, those lows will have to stay quite weak and I would take it one storm at a time. Weak storm doesn't mean little precip either as demonstrated by tonight's gfs run around Day 8. As long as it's go plenty of juice to go along with it (subtropical jet), then it could deliver big time QPF. 

 

Focus on SB weekend and go from there as I do think we could see a couple of inches of snow to rain.

Usually an Oscillation Regime last about 45 to 60 days, so I'd say we have until at least Mid to Late February.

Massive overunning snow event for nyc on the euro, there's also a small 1-3" wave before that

 

It looks colder than the 00Z GFS. There's something lurking around the corner next week and it looks very promising. :)

 

Although, the ECM has the overrunning at a much slower pace. So that does indicate better HP blocking.

Something is definitely up for that time frame when both the gfs and Euro show something similar that far out. It could be a major storm, but the question will be whether or not it's frozen, mostly frozen, rain, or mostly rain. 

 

This may be a scenario where the ECM already nearly nailed it, but the GFS will probably play catch up.

Would you look at that a nice HP above NY with a LP coming up from the south with alot of moisture. Still too far off for my liking with this years model performances but we shall see. It is a pretty good thing that both the EURO and GFS both show this threat

Hmmm.. going to be an interesting few days. I will say when a monster storm is coming, the models are usually good at showing it this far out. Only for it to waffle away in the 72-96 hour time frame causing mass suicide and then waffle back for the slam dunk.

I dont like to relate to it but 12/26/10 style. I just remember that most of our big storms start this far out so I am happy with what I am reading thanks to the choice memebers of this board. (You should know who you are) I think this is the one thats gonna do it.

00z ECM for the 5th to 6th!

 

Weak wave longer duration overrruning snow special ala 2-11-94. The 11-15 D forecast sends Siberian Arctic  air directly 

over the pole into NOAM behind the storm or storm behind next one. The GFS is hinting at at least -32C to -36C at 850

with the potential of a run at -40C if the coldest forecasts verify. We will be looking at one of our coldest back

Jan-Feb in years.

That would be the coldest 5 day period here of the winter so far  , hopefully overdone   - 16 C is 

insane .  ( cut that in half ) and that's still a week of 15 F below .

It looks like we will be able to put up our first back to back Jan below 30 and Feb below 32 since 2003, 1994, and 1978

with that much cross polar Siberian pouring into Canada.

I might be a huge weenie right now, but will this be similar to Feb 1899

Pre-1900's? Yea that qualifies as a huge weenie lol. But the cold may be pretty impressive if it does verify, however how would this all stack up in the scheme of snow possibilities? At that time met winter starts to be on the clock
