Catching the edge of the 495 band. Ripping. 2"

No idea, but fun question about if/how their is a connection. Just spitballing, I would probably say the tendency for amplification is partially QBO related. When you dig back through years with strong amplifications during winters, the QBO is often negative during the heart of winter. As one poster noted in this thread, some big snows in Juneau and Russia.

lol

Holy crap the bears

Picked up .96" of rain. Good steady rain today. We definitely needed it.

OMG the Bears

Two days ago I heard about a little bit of snow or rain on Thursday. ICON model was showing it and Euro too. Haven’t seen anything about it since then. I assume that’s not the case anymore?

I want to ignore this thread until Saturday morning, I really do. I know I can't.

2 inches all said and done here. Came down pretty fast once it finally started. About 11 on the season.

Yeah ended with a little less than a quarter inch here. Quite a bit more on the ground about 10 miles north. We get another shot coming up this next weekend. Hoping the TPV and the NEPac cutoff low decide to play ball here. The floor and ceiling are pretty high on this if both cooperate.

The #s are out. We just had the 3rd largest 2 day drop in winter of the EPO into negative territory on record back to 1948: 2026 01 14 88.01 2026 01 15 -92.49 2026 01 16 -254.34 So, it dropped 342 from 1/14 to 1/16. The only two larger 2 day winter drops are not much higher: the 367 of 2/9-11/1996 and the 364 of 1/16-18/1961. As I said, this isn’t a measure of the strongest EPO ridges. Rather, it is a measure of the speed in establishing a new strong EPO ridge.

Started snowing lightly in lebanon perhaps an hour ago. Dusting on my car thus far, very fine powder. 30 F

North Smithtown 9:30pm 2.4" This is for Sunday. 40.88, -73.21

T blizz has twice my amount and I don’t know how

Still at around 2.25 pretty bad snow growth in last half hour but hoping to get better growth and bands later i need this storm to work out a little better than it had

I’m an idiot. 1.7 yesterday. So 4.2 total for the weekend. Not bad. 2.5 as of 9:00.

Carver; would this system be apart of the energy that dumped record snows in Russia? .

I think it was Gordon Barnes that loved using the term “double barrel.” Maybe Bill Kamal, but I think it was GB. And one of them also often said, “It’s a case of Peter robbing Paul,” referring to a dying Appalachian low transferring too far off the coast.

3 new moderate 31⁰

This final band is exploding, could drop a quick inch. Came out of nowhere

Not sure if we're under the better returns, but <1/2mi. vis here

The good news is both AI models actually went The other way and was more amped at 18z compared to 12.

1-1.5 inches new tonight on top of .25 this morning.

Since I live at the edge of the Mt. Holly CWA, here's my final post on the storm... We got 2.4" of new snow this evening for a total of 4.1" today and 5.8" over two days, which I'm ecstatic about. Another very pretty snow as it wasn't windy and the snow was wet enough to stick to the trees. Going to finish watching the football game and then go shovel.

I weenie’d myself earlier for talking about roads icing up tonight, but side streets are a legit disaster.
