In actuality the first three weeks of December HAD the cold AND chances, just the chances misfired. This last week and where things are going in January is a new regime.

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 There looks to be a light at the end of this tunnel/god awful pattern. Starting to see subtle changes by 200 hours which has been slowly creeping closer in time. While I dont think THIS is the change yet, the extension of the Pac ridge into the AO region and the building of a Scandinavian ridge are all precursors to a hopeful positive shift in the pattern by roughly mid month. Latest GEFS and EPS both agree on the look and a return to colder anomalies in the Eastern US. EPS a little slower than the GEFS and noticed this may be in part to the EPS focusing more on nosing the Pac ridge slower and the GFS building and moving the Scan ridge into the AO regions faster. Basically timing differences but headed toward a similar progression. We could still accidentally back into a snow event during this lousy pattern over the next week which is somewhat head-scratching given the overall look. Any other year it would be a shutout/close the blinds scenario. This increases my confidence that once the current crud pattern transitions it may not take much to get things going for our region in terms of tracking winter events. Confidence in winter showing up again by mid month just in time for prime climo is increasing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasingFlakes Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I saw some flakes at 4am and 12pm on the 1st but it was at a 5 flakes per minute type rate. Went up to Bear Creek last night and it was pretty bare.. but it was nice to get out and my foot felt good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 If there is one plus to the AN temp regime it is coinciding with the spike in oil prices. Less heating oil is good for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Might touch 60 up here next weekend maybe kiss 70 in Cape May per Euro. Light at the end of the tunnel is starting to dim. We can hope for 60 and some Wiggum snows anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Currently sitting at 50 here with vis. barely 1/10th of a mile. Was glad that Mt. Holly finally lofted something for this fog. Am up to 0.32" rain for the past 2 days so far (0.19" yesterday and 0.13" today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is nothing more than that of an oncoming train. Anyway... I remember last year when the models kept teasing us with epic looks in the long range, Mitch (Mitchnick) kept pointing out the lack of troughing over/near Japan and how that was a red flag for him. I've casually been noticing the same thing this year. Any sort of lower heights that (rarely) show up there are in and out. It's just one piece of the puzzle, but yet another piece that doesn't seem to be in our favor. Still way too early to give up on winter. My expectations were for average snow this year, just hope I don't have to adjust downward from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Here is a small glimmer of something during this blah pattern. NAM at range but has some support among guidance. We can hope for some white rain anyway. Doubt we would see any accums with temps in the mid and upper 30s but flakes nonetheless. It's all we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they got faked out by the pseudo-winter of Nov./Dec. Sure hope they take it slow till winter returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furrawn Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Flurries here right now. With A high of 64 in the forecast for Saturday, I sure hope a big snow follows... or at least something that feels like winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
