The good news with all the dryness is that we may have an exciting spring fire season to look forward to

I hope mods ban the first weenie who makes a “we need the rain” post when a cutter looks imminent.

Lots of triggered peeps this morning. Hate to see it. 

Nah, I couldn't care less...just a joke.

So that's a green light for more peach talk?

This winter? May start blogging about them

only 9 days away on the GFS

i think we should be watching this 23-25th time range, too

That is the higher ceiling, agreed. Fits within my preseason window, too.

much better phasing signal with the super amplified +PNA

[CoastalWx]

Some timing differences but Canadian and gfs have something at that time.

[The 4 Seasons]

Season snowfall to date ending Jan 13th 2025.

I'll probably do another update in a month in Feb then again in Mar as these are very time consuming.

If anyone has anything they want to add or change let me know. I used data from here (new england snow page), COOP, CoCoRahs and the 5 climo sites.

Great maps.  Much appreciated.  I'm thinking that was pretty labor intensive

Very intriguing period for sure.

euro still has Sunday night. Could see a nice heavy band evolve well northwest of the center, albeit narrow.

i think this is even more idiosyncratic than the wholesale PNA consideration.

i mean don't get me wrong - you know me, i'm a big proponent of telecon.   but this is really about a down-pulse in the hemispheric cold expression at 500 mb.   as Will also highlighted over in the event thread, there a coherent relaxation in the depth and circumvallate gradient around the spv/ long wave, and as it lifts out ...that trailing end has a chance to curl up on the flow.  

here's the 12z gfs version of that ... there still positive slope on the final ejectio out of the west, but this ridge position in the west ( your +PNA notwithstanding - ) is in a much better position to support eastern continental/mid latitude wave amplitude.  If this trough should ever curl around even neutral?  that easily becomes a bomb on the right with that ridiculous amount of sfc to 800 mb b-c gradient between..etc.

Heads up to folks out there.  There's a nasty virus going around. I thankfully very rarely catch any bugs. Probably been 25 years since the last time. Last night I started shaking uncontrollably, severe headache and pressure in the forehead. The girlfriend had it earlier in the week and a neighbor as well.

Yeah friends in the medical field have mentioned this as well. Doctors offices are flooded with overflow from ER.

I had something weird happen to me last night.    I run my school ski club. I basically sit in the Wachusett base lodge while the kids ski in case they need anything.  So, time to leave.  I had been sitting and standing inside for 4 hours.  Go to walk to my car.  Maybe 300 feet.  And it was chilly…20F, but nothing bad

When I got to my car, I had the worst case of shivering I can ever recall experiencing   I could barely open the door to the car and start it   It lasted around 3 or 4 minutes   I almost called 911, then it went away

Sounds like the same thing except you didn't get the rest.

Looks great to me. I'm right above the 9.1 at the CT/MA notch. Personally I'm at 8.75 in Westfield

How long did your shivering last?  It was so weird.  No other symptoms apart from a lingering "winter crud" thing for me

the present covid strain going around has been causing that, a particular 'shivering' response - some taxonomy that is indigenous to this strain perhaps...  we've all probably cycled through less potent child variant strains by now, perhaps not even knowing.   it's funny how big pharma still trying to squeeze more economics out of the extinguishing fear... 

anyway, then you hit your ribs with 23 f wind cold, disproportionate physical response ensues.   if you were unaware that you have it at the time, your system and/or the shivering probably would come as a surprise.

very good, thanks. Yeah thats a COOP site right under you. Southwick. I'm not super familiar with all the towns in Ma as there is like 300 but im getting way more familiar with them doing these maps

Interesting... just for shits and giggles maybe I will test myself (I think I have some old, probably out of date kits).  Otherwise I feel fine...

Actually not too much longer than yours. But I spent a sleepless night afterwards.

I had it last week, sucks big time, just getting over it.
