Even if the Euro verified, it would be very difficult to get to 50F pretty much anywhere NW of I-95 from CT to ME. While I'm not fully buying the torch idea, I'm not sure that many areas don't go over to plain rain. Probably most of, if not all of SNE, if I had to place bets now.

Heh, good test incoming for Cisco.   Although, in his defense, I was thinking about this myself...

As for what will happen with this storm I think odds favor a weaker storm (more like the GFS) which would bring a period of snow followed by icing with temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Ground temperatures are cold enough that ice would be an issue on the roads. Most of the GFS ensemble members show this kind of scenario.

Bottom line – watch forecasts for this weekend closely. A bit of snow, ice, and rain all appear likely. Hopefully we can avoid getting a big thaw in here – a more gradual thaw is definitely preferable!

We are 4 days out in the model world. As we all are fully aware,, modeling does a terrible job of underestimating low level cold and tries blasting warm air way north of where it ends up. If it was Dec or we had no snow cover or the water was warmer..i would have no trouble buying these torch ideas.. 

 

I will stand by this..It will end secondarying somewhere near or south of E LI..and track over the far outer Cape or just offshore. 

 

I see a 3-6 front end type deal in SNE that goes to ice inland and turns back to snow on Monday. I think the hype of buildings coming down, and vehicles flash freezing on highways while driving is being way way overdone.

 

This will end up a few hours above freezing on tha coast and probably not sniffing above 32 inland

 

So does that mean you're taking the bet? Or are you rejecting it out of pity for me that I don't have a clue? I will say that I've got no problem eating crow should I be wrong on this.

People seem to be forgetting this week's storm  was modeled to be an inland runner 4-5 days out.

I'm not sure what the bet was since people were talking about a drink that hasn't been in existence for 15+ years, but sure we can make a friendly wager. I have a hard  time believing BDL ,HFD torch to 34

If all 8 major CT climo stations reach at least 34 degrees this weekend, you pimp my blog on FB and Twitter. I was offering a 12-pack of beer if any site fails to reach 34...but it can really be any beverage of your choosing.

lol into thinking that by aligning with Kevin = connecting with some super social magnet whose very presence will spread the word to millions.

 

I will like your FB page for zero beers.  Tell me how to find it.
