Clipper-type disturbance at 138-144. Not sure if it will keep showing up or even stay together in the fast NS flow but basically all we have in the medium range.

Hopefully that one doesn't upset the apple cart on the 276 hr Big Dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guilty of looking ahead at times but in this pattern with a fast NS with transient HL ridging we will benefit from focusing on 240 and under (180 and under better) and taking one wave / system at a time. Surprises tend to pop up with these looks next 5 day to a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 For a week GFS showed the arctic flood gates crashing open starting this weekend. Hope they get that issue fixed in the off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Three waves of cold coming on the GFS. The current one, the one post storm and a third arrives Tuesday. But the last wave doesn't exist on the ECM and likely won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just reached 30F here. Will be interesting if we hit the freezing mark. Forecasted high was 33F. Projected to get down to 17F tonight. Should have great radiational cooling conditions with no wind and mostly clear skies for most of the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Dont need no stinking computer generated map to tell me this is some serious HP settling in. It is cold, breeze out of the N, and the sky has that classic deep blue look to it with nary a cloud in sight. Radiational cooling tonight and the stage is set for tomorrow. Doubt it will be the last frozen of the season but certainly the biggest so far. Savor it like we wont see it again until next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget about March. I'm off Sunday so I am planning to head up to either blue mtn or elk. It almost seems like elk is missing some of the QPF to the south on models, but they will stay much colder than blue so ratios will likely be better. Also planning a NE trip next weekend. Looks like there will be something over the weekend, hopefully it comes together throughout the week. Playing it by ear but will likely end up in NH and VT.

That song was a riot and done by a local Philly singer too. 8 hours ago, ChasingFlakes said: Dont forget about March. Philly area has become the "new Colorado" with "spring snow". My "high" yesterday was at midnight and was 33... and after that it dropped and never rose above 30 the rest of the day, with the "low" of 21 happening at midnight on the other end of the day. It bottomed out this morning (so far) at 21 (closer to 20 @ 20.5, than to 21), but has nudged up a bit to 22 and overcast. The dp of 7 at the moment, is truly arctic.
