Looks like I'll need to wait for another time to get to 30". I'm at 27" and tonight ain't gonna do it.

Kidding aside…like I said, the lowest BOX beam is around 5000ft over your head. ENX is 10000ft. GYX is even higher. So if ENX is showing precip and BOX isn’t, that means it’s evaporating (sublimating in this case) before it reaches the ground…which is pretty typical when you have cirrus thickening and lowering in advance of a system with dry air in the low to mid levels.

how boring the weather is we got comments talking about snowstorms of yesteryear..

You come back Jan 15. Ji come back never.

Milder weather has moved into the region. The remainder of the week will see generally above normal temperatures. Some rain is possible starting late Friday or Friday night. Periods of rain could extend into Sunday. The week will conclude with highs finishing in the 50s across much of the region on Friday and Saturday. Cooler air will likely return Sunday or Monday. No significant Arctic blasts or significant snowfalls are likely through at least mid-January. Afterward, conditions might become more favorable for both cold and snowfall, especially if the PNA goes positive. PNA-related developments would have larger implications for snowfall. It will likely be a few more days before the guidance reaches the high-skill timeframe for teleconnection forecasts. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.5°C for the week centered around December 31. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.37°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.63°C. La Niña conditions will likely continue into at least late winter. The SOI was +8.15 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.850 today.

What day should we come back?

I sure would like to know why folks seem to have an aversion to that...

56/72 were 50-50 Februarys at our NNJ homes (moved 8 miles south in 1971). Feb 56 was a nothingburger, only 4-5". That winter's peak was in March, including a 24" dump on 18-19, the first double-digit snowfall I remember (I was 21 months old for the Dec 26-27, 1947bomb) then a 12" paste bomb in early April brought the total past 60" (avg about 40). Feb 72 was the best of a mediocre winter, with a ~10" storm in mid-month and 2 lesser storms, the month producing more than half of the winter total. I had two of those, one on each side. Did lapro on one then 2yrs later had another on other side and went with open procedure. Also have shoulder impingement, that can go from one side to the next. getting older is not fun. No shoulder surgeries but I've damaged both. At 18, I tossed a baseball 270'. Today, I might not reach 70.

My best guess is, because Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Is that really northeast?

If its a Northeast Snowfall Impact rating, why does the storm of January 19-21, 1978 rank higher than the famous blizzard a little over 2 weeks later:

Things look extremely bleak right now, but I have some hope for January 20-30

The ignore function helps but sure would help more if people stopped replying to Ji

Golden years my ass lol

Just got in from a walk......temp is 24.*, but it has a feel of March out there.

They rushed the pattern change. The pattern will become colder around 1/11 no doubt. But the thaw is very powerful and very warm and it’ll take significant cold to make these areas below normal temps for January. Cold is only one step towards creating snow chances. Still nothing to look forward to on the horizon

Just a minor comment - triglycerides are not a form of cholesterol. They are lipids used to store excess carbs as fat. It's true that they will decrease if you reduce processed carbs and sugar intake. But they also sometimes increase in people who are trying to eat more healthily - particularly in people who increase consumption of vegetables and grains to compensate for a reduction in meat.

In Gardiner where we lived during 95-96, DEC thru APR, first parts of months were super, last parts were awful. Snowiest by 30"+ of 13 winters there but only 5th place for SDDs. temp precip snow First parts: 81 days -6.4 11.56" 127.2" Last parts: 71 days +4.8 14.58 9.2"

I guess I'm talking about the incessant cliff jumping over what models show over 2 weeks out. I wish they would stop going out that far. Or I wish people would stop looking. Or that they would fucking learn it's not final. If I get frustrated I don't have snow I just don't post.

Ray, Feb 1956 and Feb 1972 were good and both La Nina...'56 was a strong Nina. I'm stil trying to find a similar pattern as to the one being forecasted by ensembles....I agree Feb 2014 is prob the closest but that had the lower heights biased further west....more of a -PNA than is currently being progged. Late Jan/early Feb 2013 is another somewhat similar pattern too.

@MarkO has a place up that way I think.

I rest my case.
