I absolutely love everything about seeing snow falling and accumulating, even if it gets washed away, since I enjoy watching it and being out in it - sure I'd like it to stick around, but that's secondary to me. And it's even more fun if that snow was well predicted. we've had a hard time getting even that...we had a couple of hours of falling snow 1/20 and then the snow squall last week. Other than that, rainers from start to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah an inch or two will get washed away, but it's rare for 5 or 6 inches to get completely washed away unless it's VERY warm during the rain. Usually the snow absorbs a lot of the water and becomes very heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 2 hours ago, SnowGoose69 said: It does appear the NAO is finally going negative in the next 7-10 days. The problem is it appears the PNA isn’t going positive so I’m not sure the pattern gets markedly better. I do think NYC might end up seeing double digit snowfall this month. The thing is it might all be washed away each time by rain. Think February 1993. I think we had 3 SWFEs and about 11-12 inches that month but nothing was on the ground for more than 12 hours I remember that. 1 to 4 each storm then heavy rain.

If it's in the 30s, 0.5" of rain on top of 0.5" of LE as sleet/snow, will mostly just make 1.0" of LE as slush, with little melting going on (not counting treated roads and not factoring in sun angle, if that's important). It's like 1" of LE as 5:1 ratio "slush" lol, and then it often all freezes on the backside cold which often comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that high postition and the degree of lift that’s easily a repeat of the November event with probably 3-6 inches even to the coast very very very unlikely, honestly no snow at all fits the pattern let alone 3-6 inches. Its a awful setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that the UKMET is overly aggressive given the pattern. I hope it's reasonably accurate, but if not, it won't be the first time this winter it was too aggressive in forecasting snowfall for the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS has never had it and the NAM has now dropped it recent runs for the most part Ukie has a few inches for wednesday. Euro also is very cold to start for Wednesday then sleet then rain.

MJO812 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Euro, Ukie and CMC are all colder than the Gfs for next week. Like I mentioned, the Gfs isn't going to see the cad signature well. Right now it's some accumulating snow for the coast then sleet and rain and more snow as you head inland. A little snow Sunday night also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Anyone have the Euro snowfall map (looks like a general 3-5" for the 95 corridor/NYC, but I can't paste it from weather.us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyWx Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Snow88 said: Everyone thought this winter was going to be good because of the weak El Nino . Majority of forecasts had NYC at 30-40 inches and even some had it more than that. The SSW likely caused the MJO to be all over the place. If the SSW didn't happen, this would probably be a good winter. Nothing written here makes any sense meteorologically. The baseline assumption that a weak El Nino guarantees a snowy winter...no. The idea that the SSW overwhelmed an El Nino and somehow caused the MJO to be "all over the place"...no. Just none of it makes any sense. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Euro setup still looks good for front end snow. Watch the Sunday night event too. A slight north shift verbatim that could be a surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
