  1. Yeah I'm sure why everyone's so down. Would you want a giant black hole over Alaska & the Arctic instead.
  2. I can't believe how far inland it has these gusts. I can't imagine this is correct but if we see widespread 60 temps with 60+ dews then there won't be much of an inversion left. Not much snowpack south of I-78 either. Also given the colder ocean I'd imagine the strongest gusts could be slightly more inland right?
  3. Mt. Holly NWS sounding a bit more concerned this morning and strongly suggest widespread wind advisories and potentially expanded HWW. So it might be a wild Xmas Eve/early Xmas morning.
  4. Models are trending slower with the front allowing us to stay in the warm sector longer thus making it more likely we'll break through the inversion. Snow cover will also be down to nothing by then.
  5. Delayed not denied perfectly explained by Isotherm. He too believes our chances will likely wait until early January. Initial block is too south but eventually adjusts to a favorable position while the pacific improves in tandem. Looks like PV takes a significant hit in early Jan too. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a major snow event in the Jan 1-10th period for coastal regions.
  6. So this has got to be bs right. Really 60-75mph gusts that far inland? 70+ mph gusts in PA.
  7. Holy crap if that's accurate. Widespread 60-70mph+ gusts across the entire northeast for Xmas Eve into Xmas. Yikes! Oh and don't forget the snowpack induced flooding for some.
  8. If the Nino state is maintained that would have vast repercussions on all those Feb torch forecasts. As of now it looks like the blockiness will carry on. We've seen months of blockiness in the spring/summer months...I wonder if it'll maintain through winter.
  9. Looks like they'll be a ton of potential with consistent blocking up north and pacific shortwaves coming through every few days. Not all of them may be snow or produce but odds are greater than normal plus climo starts to become a lot more favorable for us.
  10. If we get to 60F+ plus the squall line then those 60-80mph gusts will mix down. Correct forecast is very conservative because they assume the inversion will hold however how many times how temps gone over forecast in the warm sector during these cases. Snow pack is also rapidly dwindling south of I-78.
  11. Is it though? There's something to be said about how decoupled the atmospheric pattern seems to be from the ENSO state. And then there's that whole Hadley Cell argument which is addressed well on the SNE forum.
  12. Somehow I doubt that. I see the late Dec storm but it looks too warm right now. Climo is more favorable so can't rule out snows even to NYC though. I think 1st week of Jan will offer better potential for this regions as pacific improves and blocking gets more established. I noticed the GEFS seemed to capture the Arctic blocking better than EPS in the long range. EPS has been playing catch-up these past few days.
  13. If the Arctic blocking is real then models will correct south as we get closer. Still i would favor the 1st week of Jan over DT's idea, think late Dec is a little early for us.
  14. MJO will be moving towards favorable 8-2 phases as well though near the circle. I'd be shocked if we didn't see another major snowstorm by Jan 10.
  15. Let's hope so that'd be a blast. Very strong wind gusts too, gfs shows legit HWW conditions. Fingers crossed for a flash freeze event Xmas eve
  16. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised to see this. I think a lot of us are getting too weenied out, I smell a bust with a lot more sleet than people think.
  17. HRRR showing the backend a bit better now. We could easily add 2-4" as temps drop quickly and winds pick up.
  18. I think had 7" of pure sleet it was insane. Absolute nightmare on the roads and trying to shovel that crap.
  19. The sleet glaze and strong winds will make this storm more dangerous than had it been a plain snowstorm. So yes that line will be evil in more ways than one because surface temperatures will likely stay below freezing + we're heading into nighttime hours.
