Oh definitely. Lots of cold and dry last year but most of our storms (the few we had) had some boundary level issues or mixing issues. Still better than the mild and wet winters of 2023 and 2024, but in the 2000s and 2010s, a winter this cold would have been downright epic. But as the northern stream continues to refuse to amplify because of fast pacific flow, we forfeit any KUs. And we know how hard it is to get an average snowfall here in NYC without a KU

"Make up for the dry slot" should that not be plural? Two straight weekends in a row.

Ain't no wimps around here! As @Buckethead said we crazy casually walking around in negative 20 degree wind chills! Anyways had a great time and saw some beautiful landscapes this evening and tonight. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Not trying to discount you,but when you have decent warm nose advecion with a STJ 30-50 kts into Tn,it really seems in impossible to get snow into Tn,it really dont matter what side of the mountain you look at,this is a weak LP it forms where ever it forms,even the WAA looks worse into East Tn

The H5 charts may be fine but the ECMWF AI ens often grossly inflates the snowfall expectations. Gave me 16.5 inches last week and I received 6. On Dec. 8 it gave me 12 and I received 3.5".

Logan has more than 29. Looks off

Might take the kids to snowshoe

@ravensrule

Brief warm up then trough comes back towards V day with decent setup via some blocking and possibly a 50/50. MJO looks like it may be in phase 6 during that time as well and was outside the circle per Euro forecast that I saw. Models may catch on if things synoptic outlook remains favorable.

Oh, I agree the Track is too far North for Tn. I was suggesting the possibility up in my area, blunderstorms and maybe TRI, onset and maybe a little back lash.

probably be closed for a month

Lets get 3" and have MCPS shut down all week again after they don't open on Monday or Tuesday lol.

With how cold surfaces have been, even a half inch of snow at night would likely cause problems on some of the roads, with the ungodly amount of leftover salt possibly saving us from a complete mess. School systems will have a complicated decision.

I agree. I’ll certainly deal with it for awhile because I do like snow on snow. But it seems longer than a week now.

WTD Snow

Shouldn't affect the rates, which seem around .01/hr

Ravens rule with a layup here…

Yeah for sure, not the most impressive compared to upper 20s to low 30s below zero C, but that would be a noteworthy afternoon. It would fit the bill for this stretch of noteworthy cold but nothing even close to record books high-end memorable cold.

Just enough to make the commute messy? Haha

UNV got to 25ºF today, with similar temps around town up there. So it stayed at 7 days, which is still tied for the 2nd longest streak to that 1893 streak of 10 days. AOO broke their longest yesterday (that station only goes back to 1950) and added another day today only reaching 18ºF. That’s interesting that for the month as a whole, last January was actually colder.

Nam has flurries

There are worse things than waking up to 2 inches on a Wednesday morning.

For those who like winter, this has been a good one
