I think one of the most important parts of the medium to LR forecast will be the NAO... if we can establish even a weak -NAO, even into Feb when the PNA becomes negative, it'll keep the TPV in a favorable spot with cold nearby

if not... not so good. the NAO is inherently very difficult to predict, so there's going to be a lot of changes, but it's nice to see modeling maintain that signal

Wednesday is very close to a hit for the coast. Would be snow to mix or rain

Yeah the Euro gives even NYC a decent front end dump. I'm guessing it will trend warmer like all our other storms have, but it's a week away and at least we can say we have slight hope for that one.

SWFE type events mostly trend north and we have the almost always stronger than expected 7 days out SE Ridge to help that happen so if we’re going into a gradient/SWFE pattern it’ll be great for much of New England and upstate NY I-90 and north with colder rain for most of us. 

I’m mostly tuning out on this “winter” until the pattern meaningfully changes. If this west based -NAO does form along with a window of +PNA we can have a turnaround period, if not we keep suffering.

Here's why it'll keep moving west. Look at those anomalies off of New England. That's reinforcing the ridging there

Isnt it weird that the data is there yet the models dont catch onto the warmer waters and constantly adjust just because they finally catch up to that data? :ph34r:

I wish it didn't only work when we don't want it to. Whenever a storm is off the coast it does nothing to get it to us like the last storm.

Eps really doesn't like either event for the coast. Pattern breaks down after a few chilly days 

Based on the last 3 months, until proven otherwise, for the rest of this winter, IMO: 1) the SE ridge/WAR is going to trend stronger as we get closer, 2) Unless a true -NAO block and 50/50 low actually show up in real time, not just fantasy on a long/medium range op or ensemble run, the storm is going to run or cut 3) If there’s a -PNA with a trough dumped out west, same story 4) Don’t believe +PNA’s until they actually happen, not just model fantasy

People wonder how we went nearly a decade without major snows in the 80s or had multiple low years in the late 90s

Well that's how.

But we also have to deal with the effects of CC on our patterns today. One of those big effects is the southbound Greenland ridging and ridging off the Atlantic coast. 

It's going to be harder and harder to deliver a good snow season here. 

On the plus side, if and when things do come together you could get a massive storm. There will be a storm that drops 3-5' of snow over our area over the next 10-15 years or before the warming becomes too much.

Eh, we will have standard north based Greenland blocking again. It's not extinct. Just a bad year.

need to see a storm OTS to our SE to really get excited...that would trend west and give us the goods.  There's also a continuing lack of true cold air which is another problem

yeah, but that could also be OTS. That’s the failure in that logic.

 

And if the southeast ridge really is that strong, then we’re done for snow here. No reason to track anything.

 

That’s the failure in the whole attitude.

this isn’t a bad year.

This is historic, and this is climate change.

A part of me almost hopes that the city gets totally shut out so we can stop the bs with the bad year.

 

This is what New York City winters look like more and more going forward
