Field Trials.  I'll have one of his pups from the 1st pick of his litter this spring, god willing.  Passion of mine.  I'm outdoors all of the time for work.  He keeps me outdoors during winter.  

 

Emogi stuff doesn't bother me in and of itself.  I just logged on and noticed someone meticulously went back through all of my posts and posted a hot dog on pists over a year old.  Funny I guess, but also borderline creepy that someone would take the time to do that over the course of several days, with a given amount per day.  

 

I'll drop it.  Just irked me.  

 

In other news, I'm going to be doing work about 60 miles offshore tomorrow.   Looking forward to getting back out for the first time since the last blow. 

 

 

Beautiful GSP. I miss the hell out of mine.

la nina after el nino..... so it follows our pattern of very snowy winters that happen in la ninas that come after el ninos (even when the prior el nino was not snowy). 

Next winter may be significantly more snowy.

We have a decent chance at getting a big nina next year, after strong or super ninos Ninas often follow the year after, and often those Ninas gain a lot of strength. A good example is the 2010-2011 La Niña event. It came off a strong nino, and this Nina developed into one of the strongest La Niña events in history. That combination of a strong blocking, a strong La Niña pattern combined with an active southern jet (leftover from nino?) produced an one of the snowiest winters on record that year. That winter had 3 blizzards.

I think a lot of people will be concerned about the strength of this coming La Niña. But I won’t be. La nina is not as bad of an enso state to be in as a lot of people make it out to be.

Don’t worry Ant. I just took one for the team. I’m no longer NutleyBlizzard.

We already have a yanksfan!

LOL, June, AUG & NOV were below average & SEPT was whopping 0.2 degrees warmer than normal.

There's absolutely no sense of objectivity from some of the warm mongers on this site.

Genuine question here (bc I'm too tired and lazy to look up the stats).  How many below average months has Philly and NYC had respectively in the last 5 years?

I'd be interested in seeing a graph that shows how many cloudy days we've had relative to normal.  It seems like ever since the June wildfire smoke that getting a dry sunny stretch has been next to impossible.  Sure hope we can start a new trend with less precip, since snow seems non existent anyway.

Oh wow a few barely below normal months against the warmest 30 year averages vs an infinite number of top 5-10 warmest months over past decade 

You really got us with that one.

exactly-- and I say bring it on.  Even if it's frontloaded they end up being some of our best winters in history

Monitoring Sunday 1/28: EPS is the most organized and consistent. It's axis has slipped a little to the south, painting this as an  elevations based wet snow of 4+" potential along I84. EPS confidence is 30-45%.  However, think we have a small less than 1" accum down to I95 with refreeze of slush Monday morning.

NYC prob for 1" is still very low, so no thread but monitoring trends the next day or so.  Attached EPS prob for 1" Sunday. It says be cautious about thinking 1" NYC CP. 

 

By the way: there was a little sleet mixed with the rain last night in the NYC-LI area.

I dont care that much about below or above avg, let's get more sunny days in here!  NASA needs to invent a device to suck up clouds and send them to another planet or to the moon

Yeah, we are similar to BHO which has had 52 top 10 warmest months to only top 10 coldest since 2010.

Not surprised to see models back off the torch for the northeast to start Feb. 

MJO 6/7 is not warm for us in a Nino for Feb. 7 is actually a colder signal. Still think we average slightly above normal but no 60s & 70s like some thought.

Even 50s may be difficult

It’s the same pattern we had in December to start February with the warmest departures over the Upper Midwest and Canada.

The best chance NYC may have to get to 10” on the season is if we can get over to phase 8 by mid-February. The VP anomaly charts are actually similar to the RMMs. But this is no guarantee if the MJO get can’t get past 7 with so much SST warmth near the Dateline. Plus we made it to 8 last March and the big event occurred in the interior and disappointed the coast.

Real good question, the models are showing it getting in phase 8 President’s Day weekend but is it real or just another false alarm like we’ve seen the past few years? You’re right about the furnace SSTs in phase 7, does it stall out there? We won’t know for sure until we get into February

Thank you.  Moving forward now...

 

I will thread Sunday-Sunday night sometime this evening around 9PM (grandkids).  Increasing chances of 1/2-2" NYC-LI and for about 4+ nw NJ-I84 corridor.  Not major but 850 low and increasing ne 850 MB Jet by 06z/Monday makes this a favorable outcome.   Jut want a look at 12z ENS... no doubt in my mind at least a bit of snow coming to NYC and shovel able WET snow nw NJ-CT with initial melting but surface CAA makes this a candidate for deteriorating untreated pavement conditions Sunday evening -night.

When was this? 
 

Was this the event we had hours of moderate snow but nothing stuck to the ground? 

yeah it was around March 10th or so.   It was 33-34 in most of the area here with white rain or minor accums on the grass-inland and elevated areas got crushed
