LOL-no one is trolling, just trying to get you to learn about basic pattern recognition-you look silly right now with statements like "it won't take much in the way of changes for us to get a snowstorm this weekend"
too many vorts usually means not a big consolidated storm....you need to take the snow goggles off-the cards are stacked against us here. 1 in a 1000 shot
LOL a mostly positive NAO and a very slightly positive PNA. EPO is raging positive and the continent is flooded with mild air-not exactly the stuff of significant coastal snow events, very rare to get a good snowstorm here without an arctic or even modified arctic airmass in place-the stuff now is modified polar pacific garbage
Starting to get late...we're now out to the 2nd week in Feb...time starting to run out especially with the lack of cold. Lack of cold can work in Jan/early Feb-later, not likely
