2022 was the last hurrah for Scooter…he cleaned up in the 1/7 event and then 3 weeks later near-jackpotted in the blizzard. Been nothing but the torture chamber since then for his area.

There’s an increasing threat this weekend over interior CNE. -
Had a nice event on this date in 2022 as well. Had over 10” here.

Finally flipping to snow here. Everything is totally glazed...that most of this last batch was pure ZR with temps near 30F. -

Problem for Friday is cloud cover and weak mixing. -

Temp has actually dropped a full degree here since 6am. It was about 30.5F and now it’s 29.5F. There’s def a bit of a cold tuck going on with BOS and PVD winds out of NNW -

That was kind of cool. Hadn’t seen aggregates that big in a while. Some of them were def half dollars. Now it’s pelting sleet. -

Massive parachutes here. Surprised it started off at snow. -

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. -

The irony is we trended much cooler in our little corner of the country in New England due to the CAD that’s dominating much of this week and during the weekend cutter. But it’s all mostly irrelevant anyway in terms of snowfall. We’re not expecting much in SNE between now and 1/15 anyway. -

I really like the look after about 1/13-1/14. Details TBD but the longwave pattern finally seems more palatable for larger events. Hopefully it stays that way and doesn’t regress. -

Yeah this is one of those events where you get not a lot of QPF but the impact could be higher end for those not aware of what’s happening. Lots of black ice on driveways if not outright thin glaze, that kind of stuff. Esp if you get the sfc cold hanging tough in areas that often creep above freezing (like metrowest 128 belt is a prime suspect for this) -

The fact Logan airport is currently 26F with a light northerly drain is more than enough evidence that this lower level airmass isn’t going anywhere quickly. -

You are really close to the snow line too early on so I don’t think it will just be ZR. Prob some sleet and perhaps mangled flakes mixed in. Basically a potpourri of crap. It’s not a lot of QPF but obviously even a little ZR makes things ugly. And yeah, roads will be fine as long as they are treated. Sidewalks might be another story. -

Well there is nothing until next week…the pseudo-cutter CAD storm this weekend which is prob just cold rain down here…then the pattern looks a lot better starting around 1/14-15ish. So any threats are gonna be D10 or longer. -

The storm misses are close calls too which is a good sign. 18z GFS had a few just wide right. -

Snowing steadily with a solid coating. Looks like round 1 about to finish. Should get another batch this evening. -

Yeah if you put up -5 or -6 weeks in mid to late January, you're likely talking below zero temps several occurrences at night even down in SNE. -

What’s your low there so far? SLK can put up -25F or colder several nights in a month during some good cold outbreaks. Plus those cold air advection days where it’s near 0F for a high. -

Pretty nice setup. Ridge gets a little sliced off in BC but this is just round one…ridge then rebuilds a little further west and we’d have several more shots in the following 5-10 days with that longwave look. Hopefully we can cash in….but for D10 and beyond, this is all we can ask for at the moment.
