They’re spitting out some incredibly snowy periods (1996,2010) and some years that had almost no snow (2002, 1981). Subtle differences can tilt this either way. I will take 1996 and 2010 for $1,000 Alex! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long ways away, lets see if that potential holds. Btw, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Happy Holidays all! Anytime I hear Gulf and cold enough air it makes me happy! I will drink to that! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 FWIW 12z op gfs shows a bomb off the coast Jan 3. BL a tad too warm verbatim, but it’s very close. Jan 5-6 wave a bit weaker, but with better cold air. I think I’d rather have it switch places. Weaker wave with marginal air, then bombs away on Jan 5. Usual disclaimer: it’s the op gfs so this analysis is mostly just for fun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Wouldn’t really worry about the first couple days of Jan at this point. Looks like we may very well may get a SSW. I’m all in around mid month to Feb This is epic here . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The similarity seems to be with blocking, which we're forecasted to be headed towards. Whether that forecasted -nao comes to fruition might be what determines whether we're in here or the panic room in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 It’s hard not getting excited (unless you’re Webb or a few downers here) where we’re going in January looking at medium range ensembles. GEFS is pushing + height anomalies into GL on NYD. I picked this panel a few days later as -NAO is settling in but check out the Pacific. -EPO, +PNA (and cross polar flow) with a STJ split flow undercutting the ridge with a parade of vorts continuing to enter the CONUS. Roll this forward a few more days and I find it hard to believe we don’t see accumulating snow in the first 7-10 days of January. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 High pressure in a nice spot anchored in there too. Cold with lots of precip. Gotta love gulf lows bombing underneath a legit air mass. Beautiful at h5 too. Only 2 weeks away…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big storm being shown today is roughly 2 weeks out but the pattern load up that eventually rolls downstream to setup that storm is depicted at day 7-8. This timeframe will be crucial to watch over the next 5ish days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
