That can be a suppressive look in the pv is to far southeast 

Agreed, also the nao is not too positive in that depiction. Something that amplifies too much would cut in that look however we could score a front end dump also.

The best sustained h5 look we have had in years and only 3.7 of snowfall haha 

The Northern Stream of the Pacific Jet has just been too overpowering. So we have continued the cutter, hugger, and suppressed Southern Stream storm tracks. If this was an El Niño with a STJ further south near the Baja then we would probably all be in double digit snowfall by now. It would have carved out more of a trough near the Tennessee Valley. Hopefully, we can get some relaxation of this theme later this month.

Oh it's cold lol and feels especially cold because we haven't been used to this in recent winters. It's the wind that's making it cold and the dry air that's creating dry skin, crappy weather. No wind and it wouldn't be bad.

I also went to a funeral yesterday out in Farmingdale where it felt like 50mph winds with 25 degree temperatures at the gravesite so I was out in it for a while. Cold as a brick.

We had a downed pole on route 9 yesterday that remained closed all day, snarling traffic to the NJTPK into Manhattan because the high winds precluded the linesmen from proper repairs. What a mess.

I think the last good winter here was 2021; we can hope for is one or two decent events, like last year. Don't need 60 inches to make a good winter IMO.

Time is starting to tick down now. February has a warm risk which will probably be very hard for snowfall in nyc

At this point the definition of a good season in NYC would be going over 10” and reverting to the 2020s decadal mean around 14.2”.

Would be hilarious if we had a 32 inch Nemo bomb in February bringing our snowfall total to above average LOL.

if this was el nino, we would be running +5 or more with a lot of rain and talking about it being too warm to snow

That was the issue to start December not now 
 
Hopefully we reach 80 this February 

If my memory serves correct, it snowed a lot very soon after that 80°. That’s the one thing that people go out of their minds about when it’s not super cold; we act like it hasn’t snowed a day or two after it’s 45° or 50°.

Once past Saturday, aside from possible light snow showers or flurries, the next system to watch is Jan 19 / 21 period.  Untill then the 7 day precip forecast is dry north of VA.  Can see what could  be (have been) the storm offshore.

New Brunswick went +4.5 last February with 16.5” of snow due to the record STJ and borderline super El Nino in mid-February allowing the Northern Stream to relax. So unless the monthly average temperature is above 40° in January and February, it’s always cold enough to snow this year. But December and March are different as +5 patterns will usually be too warm for snow. So for us storm tracks are more important than departures in January and February.

January 2016 comes to mind....

 

JFK 40 inches of snow 40 degrees average temperature that winter.

Maybe 1979-80 but that was an El Niño.

No its not. just stop. you have a cold winter on your hands. snowfall possibilities exist for the next 9 weeks in this type of winter.

Exactly.  No clue why he is all doom.  It's tough right now to get snow but something will eventually pop up with all this cold around.

One would argue that's probably true. La nina or not February often produces. I just don't know how much cold will be around and I could see us getting some rain late January before we see any significant snow as people cancel winter

see that’s what they don’t seem to get. They rather it be +5 and get one big storm by luck.

if you look at this January, all the fundamentals are in place. youre gonna get a lot of little stuff and you may get a big thing. It will click.

 

much better to have prolonged cold in place then pray for a perfect nino track with mid 40s on both ends of it..if you truly want winter
