All Activity

Here is the 0z EPS look for the day 10 to 15 period.

Yes indeed, here is the 0z EPS look for the day 10 to 15 period.

Nice win for UVA last night, as in traditional fashion they held on to the last play to win a squeaker. Was not (as 99% of others) expecting an 11-3 season.

Temp bottomed out at 34.1 around 2 am, then did a slow climb as clouds filled in. Currently cloudy at 37.7/35.6 here.

It's just Tim's continuing harassment of Chesco in our sub-forum.

Man, those GOA anomalies seem juiced, granted, it's nice to see blocking on both sides of the map. Not sure if Hudson Bay activity will have any impact on NAO placement. Either way, with climo on our side, this could be a great example of how you can still score at this latitude even without cross-polar flow.

Hahahahaha if I hadn’t been watching the game and only read your posts, I would have thought they were losing all night

The Euro outlines the drought in our area really well that run.

NYD snow signal still there

0z euro was best look yet for the NYD light event. EPS really looks loaded.

5/1 coldest of season

A shame how the 2001 season ended. The March snow bust really drags that year down because that's the lasting moment everyone remembers from that winter. If the snow bust happened on December 30 (2000) and the major storm happened in early March 2001, no one would care about the snow bust, and everyone would be talking about how 2001 was a decent winter.

I’m still of the strong opinion that we are going to need your possible big stratospheric shakeup to avoid a canonical La Niña February. That’s the only reason/way I see that we would deviate from what has been a classic front-loaded Niña winter since the end of November

18/13 currently; it remains very picturesque outside with the snow still clinging to the trees.

P solid and needed rainer

I was thinking about all the times that I posted pictures and given advice, about how well a slightly modified pitchfork works to remove Ice from paved surfaces going a way back to my Flatheadsickness days. I'm sure glad I didn't have to kill myself yesterday and I find it very satisfying watching that s*** peel right off effortlessly while others are breaking their back.

Well, I looks like models have returned thankfully to their typical biases (instead of random solutions which make zero sense). Right now, I would roll with the deterministic Euro and GEM runs at 0z. Their progression makes sense, even if it a bit wonky. The 0z GEPS, 0z EPS, 6z AIFS Euro, and 6z AIGEFS ensembles general support the determinist Euro and GEM from 0z. Though I won't toss it...the GFS/GEFS combo is an outlier at this point. Overall, good trends overnight. We can have good winters even if the cold in Canada is AN but polar - if it is January. Plus, there is a lot of snowpack up there, and I have my doubts(GFS) if it gets scoured for long(if at all). Great disco overnight - read back prior to this post. Get that EPO ridge in place, and Siberian cold would possibly plunge into North America.

The distribution of the snowfall this month between ISP, PHI, and BOS is not what we typically see when Islip has a snowy 10”+ December. This is the first time since 1988 that ISP has 10”+ in December and either Philly or Boston doesn’t have at least 10” also. It’s why we may not be able to use the snowy December winter analogs that followed the other 10” December years on the list. This is due to the 10” at ISP being the first December with two 5”+ clippers that had narrower areas with heavy snow than benchmark coastal snowstorms that also affected Philly or Boston in the other snowy Decembers at Islip. So it will be interesting to see how the rest of the winter plays out at all three locations. All 10”+ snowy Decembers at ISP and the Boston and Philly snowfall 2009…ISP…25.3”….BOS….15.2”….PHI….24.1” 2002…ISP….16.0”….BOS….11.1”……PHI….8.4” 2003…ISP….15.5”…..BOS….21.5”….PHI….6.0” 2010….ISP….14.9”…..BOS…..22.0”…PHI…12.7” 1995….ISP…..13.3”…..BOS…..12.6”….PHI….7.3” 1969….ISP….12.0”…..BOS……12.6”….PHI….7.5” 2025….ISP….11.4”…..BOS…..2.3”……PHI….4.5” 1975…..ISP….11.4”…..BOS…..19.3”……PHI….7.5” 1963…..ISP…..11.0”….BOS….17.7”…….PHI….8.0” 2000….ISP…..10.8”….BOS….4.5”….…PHI…..10.5” 2008….ISP…..10.4”….BOS….25.3”…..PHI…..0.4” 1988…..ISP…..10.4”….BOS….3.7”……PHI…..0.4”

5/2 here, i'm 2 miles east of the river

The less a fish bites, the more bait you gotta throw. Not everybody's an easy catch like your old neighbor here. Hopefully you didn't miss your little flizzards on the sixes yesterday.

Heh. Woke up to a WWA in the southern tier of Wisconsin counties. Will happily take it!

One thing I noticed last night after temps. dropped below freezing, the consistency of that sleet, freezing rain mixture on the ground changed. Yesterday during the afternoon you could walk on it not being slippy. Last night it turned to more of to pure smooth ice. Making it quite treacherous to even try to walk on.

What a crazy torch! That Charlotte graphic above is mind boggling
