  1. Wish I had double-weighted 1970 ...the only reason I didn't is because it wasn't a second year la nina. December Analogs: 2007, 2000 (x2), 1974, 1970, 1995, 2005 (x2), 2017 (x2), 2008, 1983, 2020
  2. Funny, I right before Will posted that, I referenced Feb 1969 as an example of a RNA/NAO pattern that was better for NE than mid atl.
  3. That was a great post....ever since you made that, I have noticed how modeling is aligning better for the maratimes and New Foundland.
  4. Like Will said....you have to look at it in terms of probability because even the less suppressive regimes can still screw the pooch with gradient saturation. Each situation is unique, and we refer to past analogs to formulate somewhat of a conceptionalization to guide expectations.
  5. I think some of that may be due to el nino seasons, which are more apt to produce down there when blocking is present because there is a more prominent STJ. La nina can be tougher even with blocking down there because its more n stream prevalent, which obvious better for NE.
  6. That's actually a good point...thinking back over some of the seasons, a lot of the early season RNA/-NAO patterns were kind of hostile south of NE.
  7. Having one of the two favors NE..I didn't say NYC can't snow. Plus its more detrimental south of you.
  8. How was DEC 1970 for you? Feb 1969? Not very good......you need PNA and NAO...one or the other is better for NE.
  9. Anyway, I have a feeling the GEFS mean will be less overbearing.
  10. Make up my mind on which direction I'm going to be bent over by a grizzly man in a grinch hat....north, or south? This morning you had me 50 and raining on xmas, now its cold and dry with feet in DC...
  11. Yea, I looked at KCON....little better than down here with lift closer to SGZ, but still not very good.
  12. Look at the sounding I posted from coolwx.com. Notice how that greater than 0c bubble of air shows up in the mid levels at 00z Sunday? Snow before that point is legit, any after that is the model's delusion.
  13. You have to go sooooo high to get into that -12 to -18 happy zone Yea, my first call map sucked.
  14. Taking a closer look at this...that warm layer in the mid levels moves in around 00z Sunday (7pm Saturday), at which point I have like 1-2" of snow....then the rest of the snow looks to come on the back end early Sunday AM, which is suspect to me. Not to mention this is all assuming 10:1 ratios. I think Kevin maybe right with the 1-3" up here.
