running out of time in a few weeks...it's been "a few weeks away" for about 6 weeks now.  January will likely end up above normal temp wise...

(1) Yes......time moves forwards..... :-P  We are just now rounding the halfway point of meteorological winter and March’s have been kind to us in recent years as well.  While we might need some luck for this weekends storm, I think the coast is in a better position to reap some dividends afterwards.

 

(2) AN for Jan is hardly assured given the cold that’s progged to settle in for the rest of the month.  Might be tough to erase the + departures from the early-month PAC puke, but it might be doable.

I would have to disagree since the 0z EPS took a big step in the wrong direction.

You are just making that up.

they're being entirely realistic. look at it as a voice of reason in a thread overwhelmed by non-science, weenieism and uninformed optimism.

Icon 12z looks good for our area for Friday’s event, but it’s mostly a light event (white rain) still could drop an inch or so for the city more as you go up north

Icon 12z shows a good thump for Sunday’s event changing to rain not a bad solution at least we get heavy snow to heavy rain

Verbatim, it would not be rain. Look at surface temps...

It has been the MO of this season so far. Impressive modeled winter storms for the coast day 8-10 becoming less impressive the closer in we get.

It just doesn't want to snow. I think if we get to Feb 5 without any snowfall and none on the horizon then I'll probably give up. 

The pattern just isn't clicking the way it was supposed to. The models trending towards a stronger MJO 5/6 pulse last few days was incredibly discouraging.

Latest MJO looks like a repeat of late Dec/early Jan but at a lower amplitude. Nino effects are almost non-existent. It's nothing like 2015.

From experience.. Globals always underestimate the cold with a HP like this. In turn, this means the baroclynic gradient is likely going to end up further SE. Now there are caveats, but I would hedge my bets on the northeastern corrider setting a good hit from this

Borderline temps above, cold at the surface, heavy mixed precip followed by deep cold the following Monday.  It looks like several inches of dense frozen trash followed by flash freezing.  You're gonna need a pickaxe to clear this stuff up if you aren't done by Sunday night.

GFS continues to bang the drum for one HELL of an icestorm.  That is like the perfect (and rare!) setup for an icestorm in NYC.  CAD would be much stronger than modeled with a high that strong and the delayed transfer to the coast will let the wind stay NE for longer notwithstanding the track.
