SnowGoose69 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 1 hour ago, bluewave said: The SE Ridge or WAR has been a problem for the coast during the last 5 Decembers. With the exception of the mid-December 2013 snow, all the significant snowfall for the coast has held off until JFM. Having the amazing -AO/-NAO and record snowfall for December 2009 and 2010 was a pretty rare feat to pull off two years in a row. JB saw this coming as I posted awhile back. He was somewhat concerned when he posted the WxBell winter outlook that there was potential for the northeast and MA to be very mild in December due to the WATL SSTs fueling a SE ridge. It doesn't appear as of now the major positive departures will occur, but certainly could be above with lack of snow issues. I think once again though that issue relaxes after December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmillz25 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The NAM shows a cold pocket at 850mb for tomorrow's event over NYC NENJ LHV as the secondary gets going. Wouldn't that translate to snow at the surface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SE ridge and very progressive flow no NAO blocking. Cutter, warm and rain then cold and dry after the cold fropa. Wash, rinse repeat Horrible analysis .

'08 event here was all snow, but the rain line stopped just south of me.... 22 minutes ago, Allsnow said: Perhaps we can pull off a 2008 with a front end dump before a change to rain along the coast.

I think once again though that issue relaxes after December It looks like the coldest departures relative to normal will tend to focus near Montana according to the ensemble means going forward. So at least we have a source of Arctic air over North America that could help out with a thread the needle type of gradient pattern. It's really a roll of the dice whether the SE Ridge messes up all our potential of reaching near to above normal December snowfall or an event or two can sneak in along the lines of 2013 and 2008. Sometimes we get lucky and cold pooling out near Montana during December spills east in January like we have seen on several occasions in the past.

PB GFI Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 POSTED THIS AWAY . Heres the idea when you introduce Siberian sourced cold air into the forecast area like this , it will find a way to snow . I think I got part 1 correct but the snow is always the / my bust potential. As it is those N and W of the city may see snow 3 x this week , albeit light . But as the cold gets established and remember this air always beats the models because of it sources regioned density it could end up slightly colder than modeled for a few days . This looks to continue into early Christmas week and then we will see , but that's 2 weeks away so I disagreed with those who call this transient. I believe when the pattern relaxes AN snow will have fallen around the area . EPS/GEFS. Quote Options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would like to point out however, for those of us that have seen accumulations and snowfall thus far... models that have been fantastic as of late Nam 12k (4K has been under-doing precip) RGEM HRRR (RAP has been garbage) and here's one not often noticed but I still watch, the NMM mesoscale model < did very well with the November over performance storm for interior all have performed exceptionally well for the few events we've seen so far.

Yeah, you can see how the EPS has been coming around to a stronger ridge there lasting longer than just a few days ago. We have seen models underestimate these ridges which set up in anomalously low sea ice and well above normal SST areas. old run for 0z 12/15 New run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the million-dollar question now is whether the coast defies climo and manages to snow in this pattern too. As Chris has shown, WAR seems to render it a toss-up...for now.
