It’s also still a Nina and Feb Nina’s try to pump the SE ridge. To our south is naturally starting to warm up and that will have more of an influence. We’d really need a strong high or confluence to keep us on the cold side of any gradient. we will probably have just one shot to get it done, we need a February 2008 type 6-8 inch event.

The GFS being the furthest south at this range is no surprise at all, it’s destined to adjust further north. These always end up moving further north as we get closer in time. Would not surprise me at all if this ends up being an I-84 north snow/ice storm with very minimal onset frozen to rain south of there. We’ve seen this play out time and time again over the years…..

SnoSki14 Posted Sunday at 12:28 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:28 PM It would be nice if 06z GFS verified. Shades of 94 on that run. Unfortunately ensembles are a lot warmer so I don't buy it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECAI is always variable til it locks (I dont think its locked yet) and so it's part of the thought process that I needed to account for in the thread presentation. WPC already has a significant 30%+ prob of snow ice interior PA high terrain on D7. Both EPS-GEFS had decent 1"+ 10-1 snowfall ratio NYC area for D7, while the CMCE is almost non-existent. Thinking that the pattern is favorable for an event, some of it snow-ice. Would love all snow NYC but at this D7 post, not the likely solution based on all the info that I was able to review. In the meantime, don't be surprised at 0.1 snowfall Tuesday morning and again Wednesday morning NYC CP. Fingers crossed (mine anyway) that this is not a loser. I'm comfortable with this start. Failure is always an option but not likely in my opinion. Just how much of whatever precip type with qpf 0.5-1 inch range. It could be two periods embedded in this 00z/1-12z/3 time frame. What I wrote a small group this morning at 530A: Next weekend Feb 1-2: Monitor for delays and cancellations PANJ northward as at least some snow and ice is expected. Timing and amounts uncertain but this is looking significant. No action yet but maybe we'll know more tomorrow morning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Not much to update from yesterday. Looks like we're still on track for phase 8 with delayed effects last week of February through first 2/3 of March. Also as Don mentioned yesterday, a negative PNA, as we get to mid-February, due to shorter wavelengths is not as detrimental to snow as earlier months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North and West Posted Sunday at 03:59 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:59 PM Good Luck getting the temperature 2 degrees above avg this winter in Feb.........I agree with your precip totals maybe 3- 4 inches though but temps closer to normalApril will be unpleasant with high wildfire risk if precipitation continues sporadically as it has been..
