Lol I will toss that.

Quite an impressive stretch you have to admit since Jan 27 w/ widespread lows in the single numbers in New England w/ many cold spots below zero. ORE has been as low as -18 F and OWD -16 F. And this going to continue right trough Fri, a break Sat, then Sun-Tue again. CoastalWx *should* like this cold b/c it preserves his "white gold." LOL.

Lol

Yeah, that’s better for NC than your area. But you should like this next one better for your area but it’s from a followup system, not the system this thread is addressing:

Let's 40 to 1 J.SPIN style and call it a day

34.3 and that rain that you know that wants to be snow.

A few flakes of snow here, 29°F. Made it to 35 here today, but didn't really lose any snowpack. We discussed taking a shot at sledding on the sleet pack later this week, lol.

0Z Euro:

Wakefield NWS is saying maybe an inch tomorrow and into tomorrow night. We shall see.

Welp the fix was in, the low came in a little more spicy and spiked me with advection after radiative heating. Ultimately although temperatures did crash DP was already above freezing and it wasn't enough I was 3F too warm. This is a win for the NAM and GFS over the Euro and Canadian solutions. Perhaps something to take into account weighing nodels for overrunning events. 33.5 as of now.

Water fell from the sky tonight. Not sure what that was about

Friday clipper could be juiced. And then cold and very windy Saturday

Just stepped outside. It's 34.1 with a rain sleet mix. Could turn to snow.

There’s nothing like a deep winter landscape

East central part of town right near the Manchester line.

Does the pattern usually persist in Feb-March? Top 20 analogs Following Feb 500mb Following Feb Air Temp Following March Air Temp The pattern seems to take a break to +TNH in Feb, then returns in March. It's interesting that models have this N. Pacific High pressure building, although they are south of the normal +TNH position right now. Interestingly, the same Dec-Jan pattern actually holds somewhat through the whole following April - August

My first thought when I saw the snow hole was that maybe the high res models were overdoing some terrain effect... I didn't realize you were on the Virginia side of the Cumberland Gap, maybe the model just creates some super downslope effect in that area to try and more accurately match the erroneous snowfall totals in that area? I didn't realize the models got fed previous local snowfall data for future forecasts but it makes sense that if the models consistently busted high with respect to the erroneous data, someone would try and tweak the geography or something in the model to make it "more" (though in this case less lol) accurate for that location

Hoping for an inch Friday night.

Re: assimilating data correctly Completely unrelated, but it should show how important proper initialization is. Before June 20th (Enderlin EF5 day), most models were very consistent in showing zero prefrontal development in the potent warm sector due to very warm 700mb temperatures. However, the night before, the HRRR was the only one consistently initializing temps. Other models were running 1-2 °C too warm, which obviously led to incorrectly choking out prefrontal development. Because the HRRR was correctly initializing cooler, it was consistently showing robust prefrontal development ~18 hours pre-event, while it took the other models till mere hours before to start showing prefrontal development. If you follow svwx you know what happened later that day...

In my full shade areas the fluff powder underneath the Arctic ice cap is as dry and fluffy as when it fell. It’s 10 days later!!!

Could be the Case. I contacted NOAA via Email. Not heard back. Spoke with NWS and they couldn't give an explanation to why the Snow Data was doing that. They had my Reports and Cocorahs Reports that all showed well above what the NOHRSC Data showed. They couldn't figure where or how they came up with that. I'd say it has to be them just using the Pennington gap Site Data. That's the only thing I can see how they came up with that. Sad. That Site needs moved to a better Location or just shut down.
