Yeah at like d11. It’s actually looked kind of ugly for a long time since then but the last couple days it started looking like more of a front ender when confluence showed up to our north. Still prob not good for SNE but looks like another big hit for CNE. Hoping for a net gain here but I think I need a slight trend east with the vort max.
Yes prob a good way to view right now…expect nothing, and then if you grab a couple inches it will be a victory.
There’s a lot of jet mechanics on the back side of this storm so it will be worth keeping an eye on.
I wouldn’t sell the last few days of January yet post-1/25. Could be something overrunning there…but nuances won’t be predicted yet this far out. I do like seeing lots of scooter highs traversing to our north on some of these runs.
Well a few days ago this was flipping to rain up past dendrite so it did trend favorably….just not enough for south of pike. Really south of rt 2 is mostly skunked but pike region may get a couple inches tomorrow.
Violent endings are typically the exception. I’m still envisioning this being like a steady light to moderate 6-8 hour deal on Monday that drops 1-3”. Maybe we get lucky back here with a little more. But the intense 1-2” per hour rates are unlikely unless we really curl that upper air trough south of us…but it seems to be a bit more positively tilted than I’d like to see. There’s still some good jet mechanics there so a heavier band or two embedded may happen.
The risk is quite high that we sneak a cutter in there even during these 10-14 days where it’s a colder pattern. But at least there’s real cold behind those systems and real cold lurking just to the north so we’ll have some chances.
Reggie is really good for those who stay mostly snow. Big hits there to ORH. But southeast where they are relying on Monday’s changeover it was kind of weak. Prob like 1-3” of slop finish.
Main shortwave goes negative pretty far west. If that can be tamed just a bit then it would mean a lot more snow in the front end. There will still be plenty of snow up there on the front end but you may have a decent period of pingers/ZR too.
I’m kind of skeptical for us still. I think we’ll get accumulating snow but I’m still leaning on like 2-3” from the Monday stuff. But admittedly I’m still “worried” about a big positive bust.
My snowblower is still in the backyard shed. I take it out every year in December. Never bothered this year and haven’t needed it.
Yeah the GFS run does share the wealth pretty good. Obviously that requires both parts of the storm to go as advertised but it’s a good solution to make snow lovers fairly happy
Yeah starting to get hard to ignore the Monday stuff. I’d still like to see the sfc low hand back a little more. The more low level support for that CCB, I think the best chance it can go nuts….help keep the BL from trying to dry out a little.
I’ll just say that there are some select posters who have a long track record going back many years (in some cases a decade plus) before this winter and there’s a reason if any of them have restrictions on their account. I’ll leave it at that as well.
