H2Otown_WX Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 From the Mid Atlantic December thread: psuhoffman Posted 5 hours ago 5 hours ago, cbmclean said: Is this some sort of unexpected development? It’s also worth pointing out that some have transitioned to rooting for EPO driven cold patterns because lately our more classical ways to snow have failed due to not being cold enough. But this last week was an example of the issue with that. EPO driven patterns are often dry when it’s cold. 2014 and 2015 were anomalies not normal. Looking at the 18z GFS it seems he is correct. Granted maybe it doesn't apply as much up here because of Miller Bs but those usually screw my area without blocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it overlaps some with the PNA domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was initially talking about how they need cold anomalies to snow down there but they're getting harder and harder to come by because of how expansive the warmer than normal anomalies have been: psuhoffman Posted 6 hours ago If you pull back and stop focusing on our locations specific snow chances the biggest issue I see is this… We need cold anomalies to snow. Our coldest day of the year has an avg high near 40. But if you simply look at a 5 or 10 day mean temp anomaly for the whole northern hemisphere the warm expanse outnumbers cold by 2 and sometimes 3-1 across the mid latitudes. We got lucky recently that one of the small (globally speaking) pockets of cold did end up over us for a week, but how often are we going to win if we need cold and 2/3 of the whole hemisphere is warm at any given time? Again, maybe this applies more to them than to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, maybe this applies more to them than to us? 13-14 was good for them with an EPO. They can do it with a more active srn stream and +PNA. But part of the problem with a +PNA for them is if we see a more active nrn stream. That usually skunks them of moisture and can warm them up if it tracks off of NJ. In theory they’d want some serious blocking to help present that. It has become harder for them to snow as we warm. The Pacific pattern hasn’t helped either recently. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyEnjoyer Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 30.9°/30.7°, just hit the 3.0" mark. Amazon is still insisting that I have a package out for delivery by 10PM and it's something that requires a signature - so I guess I'm staying up. Don't think that's gonna happen. In a horrible twist of irony, the package is a pair of snow boots. (Also, why the hell are they requiring a sig for a $120 pair of shoes?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
