Bring the frigid cold.

DAB+ on deck for thursday night

My guess is that we will need at least one KU benchmark snowstorm of 12”+ in a wide enough area before the season is done for the major sites of EWR,NYC, LGA,JFK, and ISP to reach 25” on the season. But we are still getting no indication of a benchmark coastal snowstorm track in the near term. We haven’t had any seasons reach 25”+ since 1995-1996 without at least one 12”+ snowstorm. Since our snowy patterns since the mid 90s haven’t lasted long enough for a series of small to moderate events to get the job done. But even if we do eventually get one 12”+ event, it’s not a guarantee that the 5 major sites will all reach 25”. This is what happened back in 2022 with the KU events favoring eastern sections like ISP and not EWR. During this record strong Northern Stream of the Pacific Jet era since 2018-2019, there have only been 3 widespread 12”+ coastal snowstorms near the 40/70 benchmark. This is why we are at 7 year record low for snowfall across the area. Our last benchmark KU was at the end of January 2022. From 2010 to 2018 there were 27 benchmark snowstorms with relatively good coverage of 12”+ across multiple sites often with numerous counties involved. Widespread 12”+ snowstorms since 2009-2010 wit the maximum snowfall total in the OKX Zones. 2022 Jan 28-29….Islip….24.7 2021 Jan 31-Feb 2....Blomingdale, NJ.....26.1 2020 Dec 16-17 East Tremont, NY....12.4 2019 Mar 3-4...Monroe, CT....12.0 2018 Nov 15....Mount Hope, NY.......18.3 Mar 21-22...Patchogue, NY......20.1 Mar 13...Southampton,NY.....18.3 Mar 8....New Farfield, CT..........26.8 Mar 2...Monroe, NY.................14.0 Jan 4...Islip, NY.......................15.8 2017 Mar 14...Montgomery, NY.......23.5 Feb 9...Selden, NY...................16.0 Jan 7...Orient, NY....................12.5 2016 Feb 5...Setauket, NY................12.0 Jan 23..JFK,NY.........................30.5 2015 Feb 2..New Faifield, CT............12.0 Jan 26-27....Orient,NY.............28.5 2014 Feb 13-14...Roselle, NJ............16.7 Jan 21-22....Centerreach,NY....14.0 Jan 2-3......Lindenhurst, NY.....12.5 2013 Mar 8....Harriman,NY..............15.0 Feb 8....Upton, NY..................30.9 2012 Nov 7-8.....Monroe, CT..........13.5 Jan 21......North Haven, CT....12.0 2011 Oct 29.....Harriman, NY.........16.0 Jan 26-27...NYC................... 19.0 Jan 11-12.......Meriden, CT....29.0 2010 Feb 25-26...Mount Hope, NY...27.5 Dec 26........Elizabeth, NJ........31.8 Feb. 10.....Sound Beach, NY....16.2 2009 Dec 19-20....Upton, NY..........26.3

It's been 2 weeks of model runs with a good pattern 10 days away. It rotates from horrible to great every other day. But nothing really changes lol

They are tepid on both but prob more interested in that little follow-up wave on 1/20 than the 18th.

Ensembles don't like 1/18 but there have been some hits on the ops ocassionally in the 1/18-1/20 time frame

EPS is still quite snowy in the LR. They are not very interested in 1/18 though. They really seems to like the post-1/20 period.

What a storm! I drove up into the Berks at the end of the storm. I wish I had taken some video, it was amazing!

6z EuroAI cozying up to the idea too.

Sure, but to be fair with the last threat there were plenty of warning signs... but some just ignored them. Beware the turds in the punch bowl

I see it briefly at 264hr. The 360hr 0z EPS has a favorable look

Those of us who got 0.00” from last weekends rain are not going to be in good shape

If we could get record breaking Fairbanks cold, I'm sure many would take a week of that. At a minimum, the pipe breaks and ice skating on the Charles would keep the news exciting more than it is now I suppose. 40/70 doing Ice Road Truckers on the Charles to skip traffic

Long range has been awful but yet people still forecast based off of it.

Models looked awful last night and now all of a sudden the Euro shows a little something for Sunday now. This is a tiresome hobby lol

20-30 inches There should be a snowy period in the 2nd half of this month and into February.

The 0z Canadian Para is how I think this week unfolds. the 6z Euro does have a sneaky little system again along the Gulf for the weekend...if that were to back westward? I don't think it is overly realistic, but the GEM para has a second vortex, but it slides over the Tenn Valley. Multiple, light waves of snow in that cold air makes a lot of sense for the weekend.

Def a good pattern for SWFE shaping up for end of January. Hopefully we can cash in a big qpf one that hammers the whole forum.

Around 20

Long range on the models look dead... good. Lets get something to appear within 4 maybe 5 days, instead of chasing fantasies

For all those looking to water their lawns in March.

The northern and southern jets are dead, we stein

MJO forecast was forecast for this time period to be in phase six, and is. It won’t be any where near phase eight until the end of this month

Only hope for widespread snow is a NW amplification trend on around MLK day for the next 7 days.. Guidance is still all over the place after that in terms of where the cold goes and where the gradient sets up .. There also seems to be an overrunning set up the end of next week in the 9-12 day range .. But again have to see where the gradient sets up

Very boring on the models. This is awful .
