January Medium/Long Range: Chasing more snow to close out the month

I was referring to putting out a forecast for a single storm at day 8.  It might end up rain to Canada or suppressed to nothing for all we know.  But didn’t southeast of us get that first storm?  At least southeast of me lol. I guess it’s all perspective. I actually think this winter has been oddly diffuse so far with no defined track. One storm went really far south. One hit Bob Chill area with 3-5” And we got 1-2”  One jacked just SE of DC and one just NW. there is a huge area in the east near to slightly above norm on snow but no area got crazy totals because the storms were all over the place. 

Guess I have been lucky. But this is a pretty "normal" winter so far imo.

I need 21”. That might be hard but a couple of the analog years would get me close. I need 16” though to hit my median which is more realistic. 

But I don’t grade winters purely on that number. I had a nice surprise snow in November. I’ve had some snow on the ground most of the winter!  If I get one more nice snowstorm, say an 8” storm sometime in Feb or March I’ll give this a B. It’s already a C even without anymore snow. 2 more decent storms and it’s getting close to A territory whether I hit average or not.

We should ask Ji. He is the ultimate arbiter of whether it’s a good winter right? 

This winter has been okay. I feel like we have wasted a lot of cold air. We have been below normal for 2 months and our snowfall is not where it should be. The cold is making it snowier than we think because there is always snow on the ground but in terms of storminess.....its been okay. Nothing to write home about. If this was an NFL team...we would be 7-6 right now with a chance for a wild card

The cold is far more expansive and intense. More single digits.

Mitch if you look at 18z euro Ai that western ridge isn’t as strong so the northern stream energy is able to race eastward faster. With the big ridge on the GFS the ULL just gets trapped under it. Maybe it was an off run by the Ai, but one model is way off

Check out these differences lol

Historic Storm to blast Ireland.
 

 Anyone know anything about this?  Figure I ask since there is a bit of down time and our cold air getting stale and eroding away each day through early next week. 

Yes.. I just saw this yesterday on Facebook page : Severe Weather Europe  

A historic Storm Éowyn is nearing Ireland and will impact the coastal areas with life-threatening hurricane-force winds gusting 160-200 km/h. It is expected to arrive early Friday morning.
