FXWX Posted Wednesday at 05:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:09 PM 1 hour ago, Damage In Tolland said: The chance seems great enough to mention . If you issue a partly cloudy forecast and the north trends continue , it’s not a good look to the public. So you’ve got to acknowledge in a forecast this may happen , but will need to monitor birth trends I don't disagree with your reasoning, so it comes down to personal confidence that the probability is high enough to insert it into a 6 day forecast? At this time, I would say no. That's for a public forecast. In discussions with my private clients (dpw and or maintenance contractors) I've thrown that out there as a low threat period but have not been bullish. If a northerly trend were to develop over the next 48 hours, I would then elevate the concern; still minor though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM D10 jacks are always fun. But seriously it wouldn’t take a lot to lift that up the coast looking at H5. The OP showing anything from a whiff to a southern hit to a NNE bomb is within the realm of possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM We'll probably get something in my 1/21 to 2/4 window, as the pattern relaxes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcrazed71 Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:11 PM So... Is this forecast in stone? C'mon people. Yeah, it's gut wrenching.... But it's not written in stone ... Especially for the 11th.However, I'v succumbed to the fact that 1/6-1/7 is probably not happening for us though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of us would if this run ever verified. That is a wild look in the 11-15 day.

Go Kart Mozart Posted Wednesday at 05:15 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:15 PM I know, 2015 isn't walking through the door blah blah blah....but I recall we spent most of January 2015 in a good pattern that just wouldn't produce. I remember frustration levels at an all-time high. Is my memory of that wrong? Always a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much The whole month of January sucked that year until the last 3-5 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we normally wouldn't even be looking at the second half of op runs, but there's nothing else to look at. 1/7 is toast, but can't really toss anything behind that yet.

Clients need ro prepare in advance and its costly when a forecastee cries wolf. This right here. There is a lot of money to be had in the private sector of meteorology and people/businesses willing to pay good $$$$ for it. In that sector, nobody wants to hear words like "Potential", "This looks god but....", They don't want or care about the ifs. This is where the confidence is the forecaster is immense and how the forecast is communicated is huge.. If they wanted to or cared about the "ifs" they could just get that freely from social media or other outlets. They are paying for skill and paying someone to differentiate for them when there is real potential/concern versus the "hype". If you're in the private sector and forecast for people or a business that can have operations severely impacted by winter weather and everyime you're telling them the pattern looks favorable for snow because of pretty blue colors and they start changing operations to prepare...you're going to cost businesses a ton of money and have some very angry people to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted Wednesday at 05:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:34 PM 4 minutes ago, dendrite said: They still struggle with snow in CT Is it me or does it seem like local governments or investing less finances into winter mode resources? For example, growing up in West Hartford, even after large snowstorms, the roads were in great conditions very quickly. Meanwhile you went over a town to Hartford...disaster. While I haven't lived in West Hartford in several years, I am still there often and even after some winter events...it doesn't seem like they care for the roads like they used to.

I just hope New Hampshire gets a good base; I want to snowmobile in February. Went up by Cannon last year, good trails and they had a decent base, also snowed a couple inches while we were out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM It’s an outlier yada yada and I know nobody cares in Mass and points north, but the Euro did try to get very light precip a touch further north with 1/6. I don’t think it’s coming back for a region wide crusher obviously but even .1 of qpf could be good for a ground whitener if someone can steal it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
