Atmospheric clone of January 30th minus the north vorts tractor beam that aims it at Boston. Still plenty of time for them to get that beam turned on for 25 more inches..
An unusual elongated and strong polar vortex winter, is was cold because the elongation axis pointed in this direction.

Trend should be milder times to close out February and the month of March.
No candy coating it our winter sucks. Need 19" to normal or another late February through early April early spring performance like 2018 to salvage numbers, or end with 1976 cold futility. It was oh so close to being a good one post December but the eastern North America trough was slightly too far east thus the big AC to NYC coastal score zone.
Check it out Ralph so this "juggernaut" 1006mb low is following the same path as last weeks 970mb screaming mimi and projecting close to the same amount of snow for Allentown
For snow futility fans:
Going through the records of Allentown a winter that finishes with <20" snow and has Jan-Feb combined average below normal in temperature is quite rare the last one I found was 1976. A couple got saved by March snow one was 1993.
The middle finger storm.
The hoochie warm wet mess.
The euro day 7-8 bag of rock salt for the NW crowds wounds.
No way we get it three times right? "Not with three barrels it can't, not with three!" Old Quint lol
I enjoyed the euro's coastal hugger day 7-8 that brought rain to snow in Jersey, rain in Boston, SECS to Philly and nearby burbs, yet screwed the far NW burbs and Lehigh Valley...sure
