Not a snow look

I'm not sure. I actually think models could waffle quite rapidly over next few days. MJO wreaking havoc at the moment. 

Agree. Depends on the strength

Anthony I admire your spunk and I hope you are correct 

Just look at the models . We have a chance in the last week of January .

Where do we start on how hostile the end of the month looks for a snowstorm here? 
 

AO positive, NAO positive, EPO positive as can be with a huge low over Alaska, WPO positive, MJO in bad phases….the only “plus” is the temporary positive PNA, no arctic cold and you have a juiced PAC jet extension into the west coast which is going to make the flow extremely progressive and deamplify the PNA in short order. Yea, that is not screaming big snowstorm here to me

I agree. The forecast pattern for the end of January is hostile. Solutions such as the 6z GFS for significant snowstorms should be discounted.

So we never saw snow with a everything positive?

Got it 

I guess we can all log off and come back in mid February .

I will continue to track the end of the month possible storm with others who are interested.

Lighter events with the EPO+/AO+ combination being forecast. The biggest was 3”. 8”+ shown on the 6z GFS wasn’t realistic. It’s worth tracking things while having an idea of what’s plausible and what’s unlikely.

I think many on here have never been to upstate NY or Vermont even when it is torchy in NYC metro. While yes things are bleak around much of the metro area, you can literally hop on Amtrak and ride up to Burlington or Rutland and get to Jay Peak, Killington, Stowe, etc and see that they are doing quite well and even with the upcoming warming pattern they have tons of potential there. While it sucks that this week we were be above freezing from Wednesday to Saturday night, the lower Hudson Valley will see snow making resume Sunday night if the humidity cooperates and possibly 24 hour snowmaking on Monday the 29th. Even the upcoming warm period looks much better than it did this time last year when I was riding on slush from Belleayre to Catamount for a period in midwinter. I do think NYC's snow season though may be coming to an abrupt end but I don't think the rest of the area will be similar.

And finally anyone saying winter is done on January 20th should be auto banned in my opinion. That is like saying summer is over July 20th because we have a week of 70s coming up. I get it, and anyone saying winter is done, yeah you could be correct. But if it does indeed snow then you should never offer an opinion again on a weather forum because nobody on January 20th knows with 95% confidence or more that we won't see at least one snowy solution by April. I also noticed many people saying we would be buried in snow during this "favorable pattern" so again we don't know much. With all the fancy tools and knowledge we have, look at the accuracy of 7 day forecasts. Hell, how people like JB still have a job constantly calling for colder than average temperatures or extreme weather constantly, it is mind boggling. Avoid the X folks (both the website and the drug).

Following another night in the teens in New York City and some single-digits outside of New York City and Newark, tomorrow will be fair and cold. Readings will approach or reach freezing in parts of the region.

Afterward, the development of an EPO+/AO+ pattern will lead to a noticeable warming trend that could send temperatures well into the 40s across the region and even into the 50s in parts of the region. This warm period will assure that January will wind up as a warmer than normal month and Winter 2023-24 will become yet another warmer than normal winter in the New York City and Philadelphia areas. The expected monthly warm anomaly has increased in recent days as the development of this pattern has grown increasingly likely. The generally mild conditions could continue into the first week of February with only brief interruptions.

The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.9°C for the week centered around January 10. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +1.18°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.95°C. A basinwide El Niño event is ongoing. The ongoing El Niño event has recently peaked.

The SOI was +15.13 today.

The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.568 today. That is the first positive reading this month. Should the AO remain positive for the remainder of this month as is indicated on the guidance, it will have been negative on 58% of days during December and January. That is consistent with historic experience. Strong blocking in the final week of November, as occurred this year, has often been followed by frequent blocking in December and January.

On January 18 the MJO was in Phase 5 at an amplitude of 2.993 (RMM). The January 17-adjusted amplitude was 2.729 (RMM).

Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 93% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal January (1991-2020 normal). January will likely finish with a mean temperature near 36.2° (2.5° above normal).
