TheClimateChanger Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Looks like there may be something to track late next week. The GFS, Euro and Canadian all have a low passing to the south.

Expand Now all 3 models ram a cutter either through or just west of the area, which is less than ideal but it’s 9 days out. Canadian has the feature at least 24 hours earlier than the other two. I get the feeling the ensembles are somewhat better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donyewest Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 As much as I love cold weather and snow, I'm pretty ok with this warmup...not all the potential rain though. The ice storm 2 weeks ago put a layer of ice then all that sleet on top of the existing snowpack. The little snow that fell afterward has melted away leaving an impressive crust of ice over everything, every hill has been a luge track for about a week now. At least the dog finally learned to slow down after making a short stack of pancakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MJO looks like it's not going into phases 4-5-6 like it was going to. Now it's going to be in a weak 3 phase which means that the strong negative EPO will drive the pattern.

Expand I'm with you, not buying my ticket yet for the polar express snowapoaloza tour yet. I'd also take anything with the GEFS with a grain of salt in terms of just *how* cold as those have had a cold bias in the medium / long range (GFS too) so if they are the coldest and most extreme vs EPS / GEPS I know which way I'd hedge. I'm not trying to deb on a return to cold, if we are gonna do it then late Feb / early March is still good so lets do it and do it right. I'm comfortable saying by the end of Feb we probably drop below normal again but how that translates to snow nobody knows yet and really by March 1st snow is all that matters. Your not going to get sustained cold and snow cover but a moisture laden over running event or closed bomb would sure be fun. The storm at the end of next week (24th - 25th) looks like our typical slop storm, burst of snow and quick change over to rain / mix while areas east stay snow with CAD and areas North avoid the warm tongue. Certainly plenty of time for changes but anything before that looks like primarily a rain outside of the little clipper / cold front this Saturday afternoon.

Best case we get a front end advisory level thump that melts as soon as it turns to rain and temps blast toward 50ish. Worst case we get 2” of straight rain.
