jwilson Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 This is just for fun, in the GFS fantasy land, but I don't think I've ever seen such a pronounced and darkly colored vorticity maxima: It seems something is bound to happen that weekend but who knows what yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Nothing noteworthy for the first two systems on the Euro. Sunday system is weak, Tuesday system slides too far north for anything impactful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 500 pattern looks much more like December after that, but it’s a week and a half away and hopefully won’t have the kind of staying power it had in December. I think a relaxation of the pacific is bound to happen in early February. As you said, the question becomes is it brief or locking in like December. I hope we can get one more longer trackable event next weekend and I'll be happy with January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if we do end up with two crappy winter months and one decent to good one, I’m glad it was January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I feel like the CPC can issue a map that looks like this every month and be right more often than not: Then again, they issued this one at the same time last year: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had a good January in a while, at least to me it seems that way. I think despite the melting yesterday January gives the best shot for pack retention. If I'm being picky.. last December was pretty awesome. So if I'm choosing month for most snow that would be choice slightly in front of January.

The ones for our area released with two weeks lead for Dec and Jan were equally bad. The December one had us in the “equal chances” area, and the January one had us above normal.

Rd9108 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Appreciate the attempt but I'm looking for the hour long documentary and they focus on various aspects like the storms in Florida and then they talk about the kids who were camping in the mountains and then it goes from 60s to 20s in hours.

TimB Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Interesting how much the overnight cloud cover was under-forecast. NWS had a forecast low of 4 but it looks like PIT never reached single digits. Edit: I spoke too soon. Looks like the 8:10 obs was 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunday clipper looks less and less impressive as we close in, not unusual for these things to dry up as we close in but I thought maybe a solid 2-3 a few days ago was possible but now looking like maybe an inch.

Yes the GFS looks to give us 1-2 and the NAM 1 inch or less for Sunday. The good news is we will get some steady light snow during the day which is always nice so you can watch it fall. Let's see what the Canadian says and then maybe something can come of a mid-week phaser-type storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday is starting to look like a gusty cold front that may bring some squalls and another cold shot for Wed Thurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds for a bigger storm going up in that time period. I don't see anything on the current runs that would prevent an inland track, that could change but right now it's all timing the phase / interactions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
