January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

Canadian looks a bit slower. It might deliver though. -

GFS totally whiffs on any phasing of the northern stream. We’re cooked without that. -

Pretty much all guidance has been trending north. The question is whether that trend stops or reverses or we see it keep going. -

I think every major model gives at least some snow to SNE now…evolution and timing vary. -

https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org go to single station “seasonal time series”, choose “average temp” and then choose “other” for the period and it will let you manually enter the start and end dates for whatever period you want to measure. -

If it starts looking like a very big threat, maybe we will do a New England radio show. -

Yeah, your mojo is back. Now that we had one trend in our favor, it’s time to step on the gas, not back off. We can trend this bastard north. Western troughs accessing the gulf. -

My guess is we’ll get something or it won’t be that close. -

On the flip side, the OP run is trending north. -

18z GFS Skynet is more suppressed this run for the weekend. Scraper. -

There’s a path to a great winter. Even December wasn’t bad. It was frustrating for sure because it felt like we left a lot on the table, but at the end of the day, it was cold in December with a lot of smaller snow events to add to the holiday feel and we had long stretches of snow cover. If we somehow can cash in on this final 10 days of January and then those weeklies are close to correct for February, all of the sudden you are looking at a big winter. -

It’s says parallel. Not AI. It’s basically just an upgrade to the OP if it passes the test phase. -

Weeklies go full weenie for pretty much all of February. I’ll believe it when I see it but that was an impressive run today. -
Rise of the Machines: January 18-19 Winter Storm Obs Thread
ORH_wxman replied to WxWatcher007's topic in New England
Growth really improved after about 830-9pm. Those 3 hours or so between 9-midnight we really stacked it up. Prob had at least 2/3rds of our accumulation during that stretch. I don’t think it ever snowed truly heavy for more than about 15 min at a time. But just very consistent efficient moderate snow with those heavier bursts mixed in which was stacking at 1-1.5” per hour. -
Rise of the Machines: January 18-19 Winter Storm Obs Thread
ORH_wxman replied to WxWatcher007's topic in New England
Yep. A lot of times that IVT stuff is very fluffy on the back end of a storm. You cool the lower-midlevels enough so that that even the lower level lift below 800mb is in the DGZ. That was showing up all over the soundings yesterday and the night before. -

Had to be sub -40C stuff on a Montreal express trajectory. The perfect storm of ingredients to get those types of numbers. -
Rise of the Machines: January 18-19 Winter Storm Obs Thread
ORH_wxman replied to WxWatcher007's topic in New England
Only mid range OP model that did well was the Canadian. It pretty consistently was getting advisory type snowfalls across most of SNE/CNE. -

ORH_wxman replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
The irony is, in the past few winters, how often did we NOT want a piece of the TPV to phase with a central/western trough but it would do it anyway? Now we want it…let’s hope it happens this time. -

Regular EPS improved some too. Does get light snows into SNE for the mean, which likely means there are a few bigger hits and plenty of whiffs. -

Yes it was. You’d go moderate to heavy for a few minutes and back to light and then rinse and repeat a few times. -

Need that vort energy in Wisconsin/Iowa to phase a little more with the southwest stuff before it moves east. Started doing that this run but not enough except for very light stuff into SNE. -

Tick tick tick on the OP Euro.
