I think that piece of energy is our best shot at seeing something wintry this weekend. Mags area would probably benefit the most, but i will take what ever it gives us. Hopefully its still there or improves in future runs.

That's definitely the way things are being portrayed right now. Just need help at the surface and just above:

If we're rooting for the northern stream vort to deliver, do we want the southern stream to be squashed as much as possible? I'm trying to figure out how we can get the northern stream to develop/redevelop to it's maximum potential. I would think that if the southern vort is quicker/sheared/farther south, the northern stream could dig better?

There is a discussion about this over on the MA thread so I do not not want to seem like I am copying them (note my CMC comment went up before their discussion) but I would say that yes taking the models verbatim we want the southern wave to keep trending east and allow the northern wave more room to work.  The subject of trough positioning is too much to think about in my opinion until we see if this is even viable but I still go back to my same comments....no cold air.  So best case someone gets a surprise giant snow flake wet snowfall especially east of the mountains. At the time a second coastal would be developing the closest below freezing surface temps are just at the PA/NY border so relying on cold from way above/atmosphere as just above is also above freezing.

On the subject of our convo this Am and how this winter has been "not as cold", check out the 0Z Euro  predicted surface temps for the CONUS this weekend during the daytime.  Its not cold anywhere nor is it hot anywhere.  Usually there are some extremes somewhere but it is actually just blah throughout the whole country.  Usually Florida, South Texas or the normally warmer areas east of California are hot at any given point but none are this weekend.  Maybe not so rare but found it interesting. It's 51 in  Richmond, 61 in Jacksonville,  64 in Dallas, and 62 in Phoenix.

Only a 25 degree difference between International Falls and Tallahassee...that's crazy!

12Z Euro just sees the NS Wave pass through and does not develop much as to a coastal.  Upslope snows in far Western PA and West Virginia seem impressive.

Boys we are in trouble. Lol

 

That was what i was referencing earlier.  

add onto that the AO wanting to stay + and lets just say......that's not a + whatsoever. 

If there's any silver lining...it will look different next week.  What that look is like is anyone's guess, but at least we'll be entering our window of opportunity.

Remind me next winter to never, ever, ever pay attention to any model run past say 120 hours. It's pointless. 

While the point is well taken, I look at it as a steady feed of clues in a guessing game, that based on the source, you know what you can trust....and what you can't.

From 120 +, yes there is sometimes/often enough variability to make on rip out whatever hair remains in ones head.....but the main clues are often decent. 

Now beyond 240.....well that's just a crap shoot....

LOL.  Not sure animatronic should be considered AI but the Country Bear Jamboree is paying close attention to these developments. 

 

Edit-I found the born into a world of terabytes a funny comment.  Sounds like someone who just went shopping at Staples and saw the word on the computer he was considering purchasing.

Just need one big hitter to save the winter.  2/3 of it is gone but climo at MDT is what...35" or so....a 1-2 foot system would keep us away from a historically bad winter. 

MDT is sitting at around 5 inches of snow this season so far.

MDT just needs another 6 to 10 inches of snow this season to avoid a historic disaster. 

Here is the CTP chart for the snow for the last 40 years at MDT.

7 seasons had 15 inches or less of snow just since 1980.

We have lots of time to make up ground, but we will need a really good double digit storm to have a chance of hitting 31 inches at MDT to beat climo average this year.

Good chart.  So they need to get over 10 to not live in recent infamy.  10 or less is probably historic to me using that chart as a guide.  Based on the 60s  convo from earlier I would be willing to take the 1960's out and say the real average is all the other years when considering all years.

And CTP stated on Twitter this morning that today's low temp will be the coldest for at least the next 7 days. 

We are going to be so far AN in February by this time next Thursday that will take an arctic plunge to make the month end BN.  Lows in the 50's early next week.  Yuck.
