January/February Winter Storm Threat Tracker


Ji

Recommended Posts

I’m feeling good about getting a big snow storm in the next couple of weeks.  We’ve seen hints about a potential storm around the 24th and the 27th-30th for a while now.    As others have noted, the lack of consensus in ensembles and ops clearly shows that the models can’t figure out all the moving parts.  It’s pretty infuriating that the midweek thing will likely be rain, but I’m optimistic about the 28th. And it’s not a weekend!  That would be a nice change of pace!

About the only thing on the GFS 1800 run was a clipper system by next Tuesday.  Nothing for the weekend.  And until I see otherwise, I'm not expecting anything.  Say what you want about the GFS but once it locks down on the 5 day period, it's very consistent and more often than not, pretty accurate.  Who knows, maybe something will magically appear by tomorrow or Wednesday but I'm not holding my breath.  Hell, I'd love to have a winter of nothing but energized Clipper systems.  At least you know they'll be snow.

GFS has been pretty poor this winter so far

You are all about to get seriously SHELLACKED by tremendous amounts of snow.

The cold doesn’t actually keep getting pushed back. It’s cold now. But until the NAO or AO goes negative each cold shot is likely to retreat as the next wave goes to our west. Some keep making the mistake of thinking that “the next cold shot is the one to hit and hold” but truth is none will until we get blocking.

Trailing wave. Best way to get snow in a -epo +NAO pattern. But it’s not the kind of thing that works often or will stick on guidance from range. What made 2014 and 2015 so odd was that setup did work so often.

It’s probably what, the third time we have seen it at this range? The follow up wave idea that is.  Fools gold at range but it’s nice too look at for the time being.
