a good thing is the pattern is fairly long-lasting and the AO dump keeps things cool-ish across the continent for a while. many chances for a storm to pop up
interestingly model evolution has this storm's energy feeding into the massive trough off newfoundland to create even more confluence and thus to push the next storm even further south
having the coldest departures to our south and a big fat trough east of us is a suppression city look... I would want one of these things to moderate for a better outlook
verbatim the storm track looks pretty suppressed to the south right now with the main temperature gradient being well to the south. plenty of time for this to change though and a coastal could spring out of the warm Gulf as well
this is a rare case where forecast highs/lows have kept going down as the event approaches… i’m getting 14 point and click for manhattan tonight night now and some forecasts are lower
decided to travel about 5 miles west to derby (45 min ago ish) to see some real snow. really happy i did. rates picked up right after i arrived. snow parachutes. there was no snow cover when i got there but it quickly covered the grass and then began covering pavement.
