Drought man?  Typical winter dry cold January followed by warming white February.  Just a matter of time until the southeast ridge comes to turn the storm track up the coast into our 50/50 block. 
 

Models tonight were definitely meh

I agree. When the SE ridge comes back, so will the storms running toward us. Why? The rex block in the SW pac  off of California will finally begin to break down after next week too less wildfires in LA too.  This will create more troughs in the US and less progressive weather patterns. Lets just hope the cold air sticks around too at the same time

 

 

 

 

 

First and last call 2-4 inches for the LV if we are really lucky with the snow ratios. Just enough to get the ground white. Time to put this storm to rest for the LV. No drought buster for sure. From Philly west to Harrisburg 6-8 in is a good bet --Warning level for them- advisory for the LV. This storm is a Ohio Valley special. From Indianapolis to Columbus to Washington, they get buried. They deserve it as they have been snow starved for years too. Our turn will becoming around Martin Luther King Day. Cold and dry will become the norm like the December...

I said this same thing yesterday. The confluence will hopefully weaken a little as the LP moves slightly northeast of the projected path possibly creating higher snow ratios for the LV. This storm will also be remembered for ushering into our area the very windy and dry cold weather for the entire week. Freeze up the lakes and river time. Ice jams later in Jan/Feb? Hope people have humidifiers in their houses and a lot of chapstick as baby the static electricity will be unreal. The heating bill will skyrocket after this week.

All I know is that 2001-02 was way worse than this winter. That was a dry torch that never really had a chance, which is why we got a drought emergency that went on for months on end. At least this winter is cold, and there is hope for snow. Heck, we even got a normal precip departure in December.
