But not even buying the zr/sleet event given its recent performances. Not a good climo match for the lowlands at the very end of Feb either. Maybe the Winchester folks are more intrigued by this idea, but not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a leading area of precipitation on all the guidance ahead of the main low. Like late Thursday. Guidance also mostly peters it out before quite getting to us. But our airmass is good, so if we can juice that up… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think this ends up mostly rain/ slop at best for the lowlands, but I am open to being surprised lol. One thing is for sure- the GFS can go eff itself if the Euro isn't onboard.

The antecedent conditions (cold push, high strength and positioning) were better on the euro than the gfs at 12z. But euro just amped that storm up too much so it still cuts far west. But that is a euro bias so… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with avg highs pushing 50 shortly, cold is exceptionally important versus Jan. We go back and forth on this a lot and it's fun but let's be honest here, we need both and considering 80-90%+ of our winter precip is rain year after year, if it ain't cold we ain't snowing. Maybe in the mountains by you but not for 95% of our sub. We had 2.7” here in January with .72 on Jan 1-2 when temps were in the 60’s and nearly an inch on the 16th. So I basically had an inch of precip outside of the 16th for the last 29 days of a month with temperatures about 4 degrees on average below normal. So yeah, I’m a little tired of praying for precip. So I’m really hoping we can get into a really wet pattern for the next month or so because if we could do that, I think my yearly snowfall would double .. at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The look the gfs showed would almost certainly start as snow IMO. Let’s get that high over Quebec down over Nee England and we’ll be in business. Let’s get a snow, sleet,zr event to lay a base for a big snowstorm right in its heels. Who’s with me lol 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 WB 6Z GFS still has the ice event on the 24th. Unfortunately rest of the run keeps the cold air well to the North for the rest of the 2 week period. Not a good run. TGIF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we wont have chances beyond that, but climo starts to make it more difficult pretty quickly going forward. Looking at the ensembles, still pretty scattershot, but March 2 and then the 5th-6th is where a discrete threat might start to emerge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see how long the TPV can stay displaced and locked into a 'good' spot. Without much(or any) downstream ridging in the NAO domain, the character of the EPO ridge upstream will largely determine that- meaning the amplitude, axis, and orientation. It is a bit tenuous without some help in the NA. Right now I don't see much to "worry" about on the ensembles, at least not through the first week of March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've all been around this hobby long enough to know that a good look in the long range can disappear pretty quickly. This is why I'll track the 6/7 day threat hard. It might be the last winter event of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just looked over the 6z GEFS members for late next week- there are 6 (out of 30) that have some/mostly snow, and the rest look mixy/rainy or just rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
