That can happen east of the mountains. 76 - 77 was possibly the coldest winter in 200 years but was often suppression city . The AO was -2.07 in December of 76, -3.76 in January of 77 and -2.01 for February 77 Read all about it: https://www.secretsoftheeasternshore.com/eastern-shore-deep-freeze/ The 1976–77 Winter in the Contiguous United States in Comparison with Past Records in: Monthly Weather Review Volume 106 Issue 10 (1978) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 OMG all of these index forecasts keep looking better every day, crazy !!! Yea, there’s no question about it, the teleconnections are primo. Saw a post online yesterday about the QBO (the concept) and it appears to be favorable as well. I haven’t dug into that topic much, but it seems like an important marker for cold air making it to the surface and/or at least for a better chance at the teleconnections you listed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 I too am wondering if we need to moderate our expectations for getting snow out of this. Isn't this level of cold that's being modeled more often turm out to be dry/suppressive, historically? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the models will moderate and it won’t be that cold and thus the storms will be more north. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In January of 66, I received 16 inches of snow in one storm that found heavy snow falling with a 3 pm temperature of +4! Coldest I ever witnessed in the middle of a snowstorm!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 GEFS is really honking on the Jan 6-10 time period. That's a hell of a sw signal entering the Plains in addition to the obvious other favorable teleconnection indices 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjvanals Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Before worrying about storms 10 days out remember the GFS is still showing fairly big swings for the 1/1 rainstorm which will have a downstream effect 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 EURO leaves the door open for the 4th - like the trend on that so far. Cuts on the 6th - tiny bit of ice to rain. Might be setting up something larger for the 10th. (Jk suppressed to oblivion) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 UKIE was a little more robust with the small event on the 4th. Maybe we can get a little surprise out of that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnow215 Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 For someone who has done a lot of reading only since I've been on this site for more than a decade now, I would caution those who look at surface maps of the models in a good pattern that we now know is most likely coming, and say "where's the snow" or "suppression" in the same way we shouldn't take one or 2 model runs that show snow 10-12 days out in a bad pattern and think that'll happen. Right now the pattern, ensembles, and MJO etc all scream at least some snow. Seeing discrete events or not at this point is not close to the most important thing for those (like most of us), who want snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
