40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 We had 16 inches on Saturday, and we're down to a few inches with grassy areas rapidly expanding, so don't feel too bad about your melting snow! The irony that your locale was the hardest hit spot in NE by the blizzard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 What? Not as distinctly as he had though. We were two days removed form the blizzard and into the freezer by this time last year. He means a couple of weeks ago. We didn't get the break that we are having now.

WinterWolf Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Actually the Blizzard hit on the 26-27 last year, but it was a Monday and Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Maybe I'm the only one who sensed sarcasm hereHis post lacked the :sarcasm: emoticon.Nothing like last year obv but that doesn't mean anything. We just need to lookout for chances and hope it breaks right. Snow in our yards is a roll of the dice. Last year it rolled 7/11 for the east consistently. This year, we've crapped out so far. How it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right...I was saying that tongue in cheek based on the comments above about this being similar to last year minus the storms.

ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We may go into a pretty amped +PNA/-EPO ridge out west for a time after the first few days of Feb. That would be both cold and offer storm chances. You are obviously at the mercy of nuances in the shortwaves on whether you get hit or not, but that longwave pattern would load the dice in your favor.

Scott: generally my posts are sarcastic, which is why I belong in the banter thread lol What I meant was the timing of the flip, and yes.....I have already mentioned that we did not see a break last season. The strat warming has been a little later than what many of us had anticipated, which accounts for the break once the tropospheric precursor response abated after Saturday's blizzard.

CTWeatherFan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Question: Does the evolution of next week's cutter have any bearing on how the pattern sets up after that? Was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 12z EPS looks really good @ 240 hours, similar to OP regarding the setup. PNA ridge, northern branch racing ahead, and nice shortwave forms around TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ignoring the specifics of day 11-12 threats for a moment...the Euro ensembles do actually look very nice out beyond D8. Really good +PNA/-EPO pattern right to the end of the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a little late There will absolutely be a storm/blizzard of historic proportions along the east coast this season. Whether it favors the interior, or coast remains to be seen, but someone will have infrastructure paralyzed for a spell of time. The earlier that takes place, the more likely it is to favor the deep interior. I am confident that it will occur within one of the three following windows: The last week of January, the first 10 days of February, or the first two weeks of March. Perhaps timing may prove erroneous, but an outright failure of this to occur will be considered an abject failure of the Eastern Mass blog as it relates to this particular outlook.

JC-CT Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If the second window is continuous with the first window, isn't that just one really large window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
