CT Rain Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I would rather that thing gets out of here to let the clipper into our region...but not on this run. Yup. Op run is pretty much worst case scenario... warm cutter followed by the mid-week clipper going through the meatgrinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yup. Op run is pretty much worst case scenario... warm cutter followed by the mid-week clipper going through the meatgrinder. Such drastic changes in 5H, curious as to what shakes out here. Interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Such drastic changes in 5H, curious as to what shakes out here. Interesting to me. Not sure it's that drastic of a change... just more amplified and storm phasing farther west. With no blocking it's not out of the question but not much ensemble support for it now.

Ginx snewx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As far as Killington goes thats an upslope machine after initial ice to snow. easily could trend colder too, some great dynamics it appears. something to track with that kind of vorticity.

jamesnichols89 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 With the amount of energy coming in off the Pacific overtop the PNA ridging, anything goes. Even the highly amplified EURO run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if the storm ends up that far west given the rest of the model guidance...the ski resorts should hopefully come away unscathed...and perhps they can add to the base. For us in SNE, we probably want as unphased as possible to keep that 5H low progressive and moving out...that gives us the best chance for the clipper behind it to amplify into a nice little redeveloper. Models are all over the map on how they handle the first feature, so there's going to be a lot of different solutions in the next day or two.

powderfreak Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The Euro is a rainer for powderfreak even...that's an ugly solution. Hopefully it doesn't verify. I'd rather keep the ski resorts ice-free. Yeah I just looked at that and was like WTF. Didn't see that solution coming. Hopefully its just a EURO over-amped deal, but something worth considering. The problem with that system, is it doesn't look like no matter where it tracks that there'd be any snowfall thats really worthwhile except in a very very narrow band. Its a lose-lose storm. Even if you thread the needle, it has no advection into the cold dome so its useless. It would be better if that system just falls apart, lol.

You can see that on the Canadian perfectly, it's essentially a non-event with the weekend deal and then gives the clipper room to amplify into a 1-3/2-4" sort of deal.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 GEM has the midweek clipper system. Doesnt really go underneath us, but close enough i guess. Gives most of the region a nice little event. Probably a couple inches for moist folks. Next weekend I think is first real period to watch, at least for this area. Looks like that Monday storm is a fail, and clippers are hit and miss. That time frame might be the first real period to watch if you are interested in snow in SNE. Gfs brews up a nice storm in that period, while the GEM is a cutter. That is all noise at this time, but the storm idea is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesnichols89 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't know if the clipper can turn out to be anything other than 1-3" deal, its not something to look forward to like the other clipper this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Monday system moves far enough northeast, the clipper could definitely be more than 1-3"...but there is no way to know that yet this far out. We could also have partly sunny skies on NW winds if that Monday system gets stalled N of CAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it does crush the Adirondacks verbatim, but again, very narrow zone of a few counties only. Too much risk with this system for the possible reward.

Damage In Tolland Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 As of right now..with all guidance..you'd have to side with the Ukie as it seems to have the best handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically...but such a small probability of it occurring. This is like threading the needle and back...twice. I'd be shocked (and pleasantly surprised) if SNE got a significant snow out of that.

powderfreak Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 GGEM is an interesting evolution... anafrontal even at day 5 is no big deal, clipper is good, but then a massive cutter around the 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 What makes you say that it has the best handle? it has what he wants to see? Not sure why else it would have the best handle.

IMO the period to watch for this area is next weekend, for something bigger-ish/anything at all Haha I had to actually go track down to see what it had, even though I already knew it was probably the most favorable solution out there. As there's absolutely no other reason DIT would post that, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Aren't the GFS and Ukie pretty much identical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Aren't the GFS and Ukie pretty much identical? Ukie is way more negatively tilted. It would be easier to snow on the Ukie solution in SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ukie is way more negatively tilted. It would be easier to snow on the Ukie solution in SNE. I don't know why the negative tilt idea got discounted so early here, Euro has it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well neg tilt isn't weird, but being as far west as the Euro is...it's much further west with the whole phase than the others. Even th eGGEM is a neg tilt...it's just too late to give us anything.

tamarack Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 12z gfs drops Monday qpf for AUG by an inch - to about 1.75". However, it shows a cold rain, on north winds, from a storm center tracking Montauk-Cape Cod-HUL. I could understand that happening on Halloween or Patriot's Day, but it's the bottom of winter. Shows once again how little I know about how weather works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
