Extended summer stormlover74 future snow hole banter thread 23

Idly websurfing and came across this site: https://adventuregearinsider.com/snow-gods-and-goddesses-of-winter/

Ullr (who is already known to AMWX, particularly the NE forum, where sacrifices have already been suggested).

"A product of Norse mythology, Ullr is known as the God of Snow, Patron Saint of Skiers, the son of Sif and stepson of Thor, the God of Thunder. Cold-loving, bow-wielding Ullr (pronounced Oool-er) is said to be an expert skater, skier and hunter who would glide around the world and cover the land with snow."

Khione

Khione or Chione was the daughter of Boreas (the god of the north wind) and Oreithyia, the lady of mountain gales. Not much is said of Khione except that she was one of the consorts or mistresses of Poseidon. She lives a lonely life in the mountain tops and has been known to turn people into ice sculptures from time to time. Definitely not a god you want to anger while out on the slopes.

 

From the Orthodox tradition, a patron saint:

"Tradition states, the day of St. Dimitar feast (Oct. 26) is said to be the day when the weather breaks and winter begins. According to traditional belief on this day the skies open up, after which we can expect the first snow. Dimitar is the patron saint of winter, cold and snow."

However, as you can imagine, there are more saints to pray to for deliverance from winter.

Some NYC residents saw the 12z GEFS and what it portends:

They reacted strongly. The result:

Notification issued 01-02-2024 at 11:26 AM.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that a 1.7 magnitude earthquake has occurred near Astoria, Queens. The earthquake has reportedly been felt in the New York City area, but there are no reports of injuries or damage in New York City at this time.

Any variation of “will be telling” should be a ban-able phrase. 

Everyone who cancelled the storm and is still posting in the storm thread is probably going bye bye regardless of the outcome.

Snow in these parts is a miracle, when it occurs.  It takes water vapor, cold air, and luck.  This coming weekend, we will have moisture, but marginal cold air.  I don't remember who posted, but they pointed out that the high pressure in the Atlantic reached all the way down to the Carribean.  I never noticed the effect this had on temperatures during a potential snow event, but all information is vital since the models are not that accurate 4-7 days out.  My feeling is that with a marginal cold air source, at best, NYC will likely break the "snow drought" streak, but only receive 1-2" of a slushy accumulation before a changeover.  However, I defer to the active professional forecasters on this site.  A perfect track and intensity could surprise us all.

It's quite possible the snowless streak will not be broken.

We need 1.0" in one calendar day and it might be possible, or even likely, that does not happen.
