Gfs looked better. Come on 2/2/15.

Yeah the upside of this is probably about what that storm was. Obviously everything would have to go right but that one had the sfc low almost into CLE before redeveloping. 

I’d be happy with a solid advisory event at this point just so we don’t have to go another two weeks with bare ground.

12/25/02 was absolutely pounding white out snow on 128 until flipping to heavy rain somewhere near the stupid 93 intersection where you're going north south east and west at the same time.

LOL by Canton? Yeah.....the poor people back in the day visiting with no GPS. Terrible road design.

I'm white, maybe 1/4 inch but looks like winter. Be nice to get a thicker pack though.

Disagree.  The realtionship with the solar nadir is blocking.  We have had blocking up the wazoo!

A true blocking pattern would make it easier to get sustained cold air masses into the E US.  That cold air mass has been lacking this winter.  We haven't even had a 1-2 day fleeting arctic air mass here this winter.  I don't think Boston has been below 25F since December 1.

I stand corrected.  Boston did get below 25F between 12/16 and 12/19.

Blocking has nothing to do with getting the cold air. It keeps whatever airmass arrives in place longer. All the cold was/is on the other side of the globe without a mechanism to drive it to our side. That’s improving though, slowly.

Well, -AO/NAO does help dislodge cold in the general sense, since it entails higher heights over the arctic, but yea....primary vehicle for the delivery of real arctic  cold is an EPO and/or PNA ridge. Having both is ideal for cross polar flow....we had that on roids in 2015.
