add the Canadians. Time to tank.

Nam is the Nam so who cares lol

Rgem came north. Lots of mixing. LI stays all snow

Love the surprises when they happen.

Should be a fresh cold airmass

3”! Overperformer here. very pasty

Yeah the 12z was pretty far north with mainly rain for most of. That’s a very sharp cutoff though south of NYC. Most models were at least a few degrees too cold with today’s event. I wonder how that affects the next one

Guardedly optimistic at this point. These shift north at the end so many times though. Hopefully the blocking does the trick.

Eh, definitely a step towards a whiff lol.

He really has changed his tune i guess lol. It makes sense if the pacific jet extends to get things shifting in the pacific. Not putting the carriage in front of the horse lol

Nice shift

Wintery landscape is back. Makes wife and child happy

Measured 4” but that includes the little bit that fell yesterday. Went over to Littleton, NH to finish up Christmas shopping. Very festive. Rt. 302 was crap on the way home.

ICON moved south a bit but still gets some snow into all of SNE

Looks like January 1982 is showing up as an analog at 500mb according to Webb. January 1982 was the year it snowed basically every day for a week. The biggest was 3 inches, but it would snow 1/2 to 1 inch almost every day. We had accumulating snowfall on 9 of 10 days. Even Knoxville recorded 1.5 inches 3 days in a row. It was capped off by an epic ice storm on January 18th, that the NWS records for some reason, ignore for Knoxville. It says Knoxville got .21 qpf of ice in the "official" record. This is from a KNS article about January 18th/19th 1982. "That Jan. 18th date was all about ice. The mother of all freezing rains turned the entire area into a skating rink with ice an inch or more thick in most places. Law enforcement reported more than 150 wrecks. Power failures showed up across the grid. Schools and businesses were shut down. Downtown hotels filled up with ice-locked workers unable to get home. The less fortunate spent the night in their cars unable to do anything but spin their wheels. The National Weather Service personnel called it the worst ice storm they'd seen in decades. Stories abounded of people latching up their ice skates for a trip to the store or literally crawling from their cars to get back into their homes and offices." Temperatures in the -10s here just before that ice storm.

Nam is a very light qpf event for all with snow too far away.

I remember that snow event vividly. I had to get to the office and coming out of my subdivision was a slight hill and bend. My tires started slipping as I approached the turn so I hit the brakes and the car just slid while I headed for a mailbox. I took my foot off the brake to get a better position on the brake and the tires got traction and the car turned, barely missing the mailbox. And that event was cold as he!! with temps during snow and that morning in the mid teens. It was so close to being an historic winter for coldcand snow but for the uncooperative mid levels thanks to the u/l lows passing too far to our NW.

Closing in on 3”

Unlike those who work in an office or other enclosed building, and have a short commute to work and home, I work outside for a good portion of my day and drive 10-12 hours in whatever winter throws at us. Cold and snow makes what I do for a living exponentially more difficult (and dangerous sometimes) than on warm days. That being said, even though it's imperative that I know how the weather is going to affect my day, perhaps it's time for a break from this forum until spring. My apologies...

Yikes, and good stuff…just a bit chilly. It’s strange to me that an algorithm could affect temperature outputs from a model. You’d think the model output is what it is, and then is simply displayed in map form. Maybe there is some interpolation that WxBell and other companies do, to “fill in” the data gaps? A discussion for another time, I suppose. Anyway - as an example of the ongoing cold in eastern AK and the Yukon, Juneau AK dropped to -10 yesterday. It hasn’t been colder than -10 in Juneau since 1974.

Who else remembers the 1/3/14 (I think that was the date) blizzard? I must say That was probably the coldest snowstorm I have ever experienced here in NYC. Temps in the teens throughout and near blizzard conditions. 7-10” of fluff. Actual blizzard conditions further north and east. 1/29/22 was also very cold. Temperatures in low 20s and upper teens for whole storm. I’m surprised Queens wasn’t included in Long Island’s blizzard warning, I think it actually verified here as well. Last blizzard warning was almost 9 years ago so we are definitely overdue. And that one busted, it was 3/14/17 storm. Instead of the 12-18+”, we ended up sleeting half the day and got 7-10” instead. 1/4/18 actually verified as a blizzard though, even all the way to Newark. That was a great bust in the positive direction. 3-6” expected the evening before the storm. Then winter storm warning for 5-8”, but it ended up being a 9-13” blizzard for NYC. Very cold storm also, and the windiest blizzard I’ve seen aside from 12/26/10

I believe he lives in the armpit of the country now…Florida.

Ok, I like that…We enjoy .

Snowy Friday night incoming. Lean back and enjoy it.
