It’s a complete Stein pattern with no end in sight 

I bust your balls a lot for your dry persistence forecasting in the warm season but you had the fear and it has continued into the cold season.

Your idea of using the dry falls and how those years correlated to shit snowfall the following winter has not been wrong so far.

Well the dry pattern analogged well . Every single dry fall also led to a dry winter. December came in normal to a bit AN Precip so I thought.. well maybe the analogs were wrong this winter But Jan went right back to fall pattern . What I was incorrect on was the mild. I didn’t think it would be cold and dry . Feb is looking back and forth on temps so that part remains to be seen . But the overall dry pattern looks to continue

Yeah, like that guy in the ski thread who vacationed there recent at one of Alex’s properties and said they woke up every morning to the car covered in fresh snow.

It has been amazing to me the lack of synoptic snowfall or even precip events.  It hasn’t rained or snowed synoptically in a long time.

I guess tomorrow is synoptic but there’s an orographic assist too.  Been a while since just straight mid-level lift producing precip.

Just experienced that. My kid had a basketball game in Lisbon, past Littleton along the VT border, and there was barely an inch on the ground there. Even Littleton has very little. Bubble is a good definition; it seems like it’s been such a great January but without upslope it really hasn’t done much. But that’s easy to forget when we’ve had snow probably a good 70% of days in January

And 3 days ago he had the entire northeast highlighted in cold and snow, the guy just flip flops with ensembles.  Too much uncertainty at the moment, def wouldn’t circle the Interior Northeast in the Mud Warning just yet. 

I think it should be "Shots of Cold Air"!  Cold shots of air is ass-backwards?

It has just been a gentle slosh of moisture into the mountains from the NW/W/SW direction aloft for almost a month.  Places that are near the barrier to that sloshing, have done ok so far this winter.  Places downstream that are blocked by terrain and see drastically less low level moisture don’t seem to do as well… those downstream areas (of the barrier) are the ones that benefit from a SE/NE flow.

For sure…and it has been just as bad in the Midwest. 

Here are a couple examples of places that have essentially experienced a snowless winter so far. Data since November 20th, which I consider to be the beginning of winter:

- Mason City IA: 1.14” precip (most fell on one mild day in December), 2.7” snow

- Omaha, NE: 0.85” precip (most fell on one mild day in December), 1.0” snow

It would be nice if we could ever experience a proper winter. The last one was 2014-15. I know it has been similar in much of SNE. It just gets to be ridiculous at some point.

18z GEFs corrected the low track dramatically sw some 250 mi for Fri evening … NE ME down to the Ma Pike 

Meanwhile the op version has observed continuity as the the southern outlier … That’s a pretty strong lean in fav of the op … too munch to ignore 

18z oper Euro also S / tho no idea on thermal … looks like snow Rt 2 N with icy mix below then R s o the pike might even be more leery of an eventual total collapse  

…overall these are typical needle thread short side of mid range corrections. But the ens move gives them credence 

Not a major but may approach moderate or low even low end warn along a narrow corridor.
