NYC/PHL January 7-9 Potential Part I

Calm down. you'll get your snow

Sounds to me like an east central pa screw over to me again. Can a trough ever sit over us for a change? Funny- tons of rain in in the early summer but cannot squeeze out a flake in the winter. This pattern cannot keep going like this. Its not normal. What ever happen to the repetitious 2-6 inch snow events? These 20 inch or nothing snow events is enough too give a forecaster a heart attack.

just a brieft shot of the clipper on fri nite then the low re-developes off the EC but too late for anyone NYC and south. SNE looks to get in on some action obv.

NYC is in the inverted trough feature. Either way, it will change many more times though as inverted troughs are very volatile.

Looks like about .25 - .50 from NJ - NYC more north Friday morning into the evening then more light snow/showers on Satruday,. Long Island and North of NYC 0.50 (+)

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I dont believe there has been a year with so many modeled MECS/HECS in the mid-long range. Its ridiculous and if even 1 out of 5 pan out we still may end up with 1 a month. Whatever happened to run of the mill 2-4 3-6 type storms? Starting from March 2009, we have had 5 straight storms that could be considered MECS/HECS with NOT one intermediate snow storm under 8 inches and over 3 inches.

The ridge looks really impressive. The trough? Looks a friggin mess

yeah, the trough is alittle broad but i dont think it matters. The storm isnt going to cut, i actually think if the trough was sharper it would cut up the apps, but the broader trough and the mega block allows it to amplify and pop a storm off the coast and decimate the big cities.

One thing that concerns me also is the period directly following storm #2 which looks extremely volatile also. The ridge out west really pumps and the trough is deep and the tilt is negative. All you need is a little energy in the base of the trough to create some potential. The model looks threatening in the JAN 15-17 period but does not show anything. If the pattern aloft comes close to what the GFS is possibly portraying, then that period also has potential for a snowstorm. No matter how you slice it, the pattern is loaded with potential, and it is probably only a matter of time before the area receives another snowfall. So right now 7-9, 11-13, 15-17 not to shabby. We shall see how things evolve.

This is what I was saying all day yesterday....the weekend event is going to be garbage really.....light snows at best likely.......next week is the real deal.

There will likely be a Norlun feature this weekend but its been everywhere from PHL to Boston on the models so thats a complete crapshoot and someone will get very lucky. Otherwise a few inches maybe to freshen up the scenary in advance of a real storm.

Hey everyone,

Just found out about this board recently. You guys are amazing. Most of what is discussed is still foreign to me but I am picking things up fast. Really do appreciate all the up-to-the-minute posting and the reads on the different runs. Keep it up!

Lol the NAM is closer to a decent event than it ever was. It's going into the garbage, really?

With one breath you say the norlun feature has been waffling 250 miles back and forth and yet you say this event is done. You are contradicting yourself.
