Fields27 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Nickel and diming our way to the top! Aside from this Saturday storm it looks pretty cold and dry for a while. Maybe a clipper or two where we can add a couple nickles. Then possibly a cutter with cad that starts as snow verbatim around the 18th. It seems that's the only way we get appreciable snow around here. My sister lives in Lewes, DE. The new snow capital of the East. They got 12" yesterday and look to jackpot this weekend too lol.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Currently 26 with dp 14 and the 18z Euro decided to go south again and really dried it out for up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ok since joining this site I think I’ve gathered quite a bit of knowledge as well as the extreme highs and lows in expectations with that said I just want to confirm a few things. The main reason for our cold/dry weather is due to the 50/50 low that is trapped due to the strong -NAO, do we need one or the other weaker or in a different position? Because I’ve always thought both of these features are needed for our snowy winters. Now I get there are other factors as well, but it seems the culprit in this windy cold winter that damn 50/50 is messing up things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one would be looking for a blocking high over Greenland - the old "Greenland Block" (that can facillitate phasing with the southern jet stream). As an obs, am currently 24 with a crispy dp of 12. Had looked at the 6z GFS and it's still on track for an inch or so up here. 6z Euro is running right now at post time.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Waiting for the 0z EC but the NAM is sortof in range and is not far off from the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Well that was fun tracking for two days. Next system looks to roll in on the 18th. 6Z Op shows slight ice to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We are off to our coldest start to a year since 2018. That year was the coldest start with records back to 1893 for Chester County. Our stretch of below normal temperatures looks like it will continue for almost 10 more days before we see temperatures rise to normal or above by the weekend after this one. A couple flurries have been flying this AM but mostly sunny days but cold are on tap for the rest of the week. We may rise to near freezing by Friday and into the weekend. Our next minor snow event looks to arrive by Saturday morning with no more than a couple inches in most spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 I don't know if it's a good match analog wise, but this winter is starting to remind me of 2003-04. We had the cold that year, just no significant storms. Lots of nickle & dime events that kept the ground white for long stretches. I'm starting to think if we do get something (and others have already speculated on this), it's something that will pop up at a short lead time, say inside 84hrs. I dunno, just trying to be patient.

LVblizzard Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Our weekend threat is pretty much dead. Glad I never hyped it up on my page like so many of them did. C-2” still seems likely at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Northern stream behaving like a La Nina and no real ideal blocking positions, between a stout -NAO that's likely bleeding a bit too far south and a giant North Atlantic trough. Looks like this pattern abates around the 19th in time for a big cutter to recycle the flow. We don't really want a repeat of this pattern, though. GFS kills off the -NAO at range, but the Euro doesn't, and right now the GFS lacks credibility. Potentially could lose the -AO, as well. I actually think that massive -EPO is hurting way more than helping. It's creating a cliff-like ridge in the west and we aren't seeing a proper or ideal +PNA ridge orientation. Have to hope the latter half of January creates something more conducive to snow above 40N. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
