LongBeachSurfFreak Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think one of the big problems we have this winter is that the entire arctic is experiencing record warmth (from time to time). Thus our baseline arctic airmasses are warmer then normal. When it's above freezing at the North Pole at the end of December that effects the whole system.

A town on the Kara Sea in northern Russia nearly tied their all-time Jan high a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we'll get a "is that all there is" cold shot next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 As I thought all along if you like snow NYC and south is no place to be this winter! hasn't been much snow outside of Northern Maine. The storm last week gave some to VT/NH and upstate NY but the whole East coast has been essentially snow less so far...local ski hills have yet to open around here...just hideous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the winter of 11-12 they were practically giving them away that March in the 80 degree warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stowe with 8" last night per PF. There's always a drive for those really withdrawing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have had a hard time figuring out why there has been record warmth up top with a strong polar vortex early winter, that should have amplified the available cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 06-07 winter torch December, Cold dry shot January, then relaxation with sleet storms in Feb and March. First real storm came on Valentines day that winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First real storm came on Valentines day that winter Who can forget that turnaround? It was brutally cold in Feb and March once it turned...we got unlucky with storms-only 2 and both were mainly sleet fests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 When's the last time we've had a stormy pattern though? 2015 in general was pretty uneventful, we spent a good 70% of the year in a drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Mine is industrial with tracks I can't upgrade just need big snow that's what I need...I bought too small of a machine back in 2003 when I bought this house-need a bigger machine-mine was useless in some of these storms we've had that have dumped over 15 inches a pop.

redbanknjandbigbasslakepa Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 And there it is on the EPS, a complete breakdown. The 20th on look swarmy to say the least. Next weeks cold shot is an island in the sea of warmth. Like has been said though, no significant -NAO in a string El Niño and you got a problem.
