It’s easier to stomach if you accept this winter won’t rally back to near average snow. Just look for a few decent events.
I personally would like to grab a good warning event (plus another event of at least advisory) before the pattern flips back to shit and then see if we can grab a big dog in very late Feb or March…then call it a season.
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.
