Good news.

Maybe the best of winter is yet to come! Waiting for that 2' snow storm, it's been awhile!

Do me the privilege sharing Liam's feed in one week from now....it will probably be filled with 20-something hour runs from late January.

First week of Jan Departures through the 7th LGA: -3.5 NYC: -2.3 JFK: -2.2 EWR: -1.6

One of you weenies should get this. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1858739201695639/?ref=browse_tab .

I mean, ON PAPER...I see plenty of hope later in the season....but truth be told, I want out- Under 9" on the season headed into mid January at my locale, and nothing but misfit, orphaned PNA ridges in the imminent future? Suck a poison-d1ck and GTFO of here with that.

Global ensembles overnight continued to ramp up snow amounts for week 2 through day 16. We should at least have chances for Winter weather tracking starting next week & beyond.

I have never been in on that....I mean, I get the argument...PNA ridge, blah, blah....but the period has just never fit into my "seasonal vision", so to speak...so I assume some hemispheric idiosyncrasy will "fu)k the duck"-

44 / 35 clearing. Warm today Upper 40s to low / mid 50s in the warmest spots and the warmest since Dec 19th for many. Clouds back Friday with rain later Saturday .75 to an inch later evening into the overnight. Continues above normal through the 14th as WC ridge builds pushing trough into Midwest / east later next week. Period to watch for storminess is 1/15 - 1/19 - track the key. Beyond there near normal / slightly below.

Currently 27.5/24.6 with some high cirrus filling in from SW at 7 am. 27.4 for the low.

In NH it works the same way as @mreaves and @dryslot said. The local club should me more than willing to work with you on a trail reroute on your property. how often that it is used totally depends on the location and where the trail goes. as far as summertime use, in NH unless land is posted, people can use it legally. the snowmobile club won't have a say in that, but your neighbors might use it. If you don't want any motorized vehicles (dirt bikes, ATVs, etc), then you will need to post it to restrict that use. that would be enforced by local law enforcement.

Give it another couple of weeks and then the punting crew will take the field. Rotten winter here so far.

Nope

Other than a rest stop off I 84 in Southbury CT this is up there with top stinkers when you think about how cold it’s been.

Hi launch pad this morning, relative to season

Because there isn’t a lot of agreement. At least many of us go back to bare ground soon. Another winter to remember.

A brother from a different mother.

I am surprised there is not more excitement this morning for the 15th. Some models showing a hit, most improving with each run. Last night's ICON looked big-doggish (I know, a weakling model, but it has some fun solutions).

...the upcoming meltdowns are going to be legendary! Lol

Sounds about right....Is it baseball season yet?

Could that be negated by mjo phase 8 or 1?

Not really sure what to think of this chart…we need percentages for what the temperature is going to be.

6z HRRR has flurries. 6z GFS has a big storm.

Still a shot at a mid month coastal or….?
