Let's hope it develops-a nice stormy gradient would be a nice change of pace from the boredom of late.

RGEM just came in wet .50 to 1 inch region wide

We finally got the cold-but no Southern Jet and the northern jet is just too fast for anything to amplify...can't even get a good cutter!

Be realistic here....the pattern is not supportive of anything interesting for the foreseeable future.

50 here for the high-dropping quickly now

Friday's rains will take care of the rest of it.

up to 48 here-the remnants of the "snowpack" disappearing quickly with full sun

He's got a point it has sucked for years...

Same down here-no advisories by Upton but most stations were 45-50mph ...Fairfield County... Bridgeport Airport 46 MPH 1240 PM 01/28 ASOS Danbury Airport 43 MPH 1201 PM 01/28 ASOS ...Middlesex County... Middletown - Rt9nb - On Ramp 44 MPH 1250 PM 01/28 MESOWEST ...New Haven County... Stony Creek 47 MPH 0111 PM 01/28 CWOP Meriden Airport 44 MPH 1250 PM 01/28 ASOS Lighthouse Point 42 MPH 1139 AM 01/28 WXFLOW MERIDEN 42 MPH 1251 PM 01/28 CWOP Hammonasset 41 MPH 1238 PM 01/28 WXFLOW New Haven Airport 40 MPH 0123 PM 01/28 ASOS ...New London County... Groton Airport 46 MPH 1258 PM 01/28 ASOS

Should have been a wind advisory for most of the areas today with gusts to 45-50

Won't matter if the cold air source is gone...

The storm will make its own cold air So and so says..... This pattern reminds me of 1947 It's only Dec 9th.... Get your sleep now....

Used to be an issue here with the smaller blue bins, but now have the 96 gallon totes which are harder to blow over or blow open

usually when the "buckle up" period doesn't show up by mid to Late Jan it's not going to. Last year was a good exercise in that regard

We lucked out last year given that there were 10 days or so of "Real winter" we maximized snow potential on the brief cold shots. This year plenty of cold, just no moisture

The cold wasn't all that great that winter-just cold enough for the big blitz-but once past the 2/25 storm it was just puke polar stale cold

We've been chasing the mostly elusive Ph 8 MJO for about 5 yrs now, why stop?

Yep the "big pattern" was going to show up in mid Feb and go for a month-what we got was a few days of cold and a couple small snow events then right back to the warmth that had dominated the winter

CFS 10 days before 1/1/25 had coast to coast warmth-incredible bust there

I get that. I'm talking more in a general sense-background state etc.

No but it modifies airmasses coming from the NW (The great lakes) and then over our area. Sensible weather would not have been that much different-maybe a couple degrees colder if the same pattern happened in 1985. The warmth in Maine is more from the -NAO blocking this year.

I can see it. Think of how cold it would have been if the Lakes were colder/more frozen than years ago. Also Hudson's bay freezes a few weeks later than it did 50 yrs ago.

Snow cover going here after yesterdays 41 degrees and rest will go this week with temps in the 30's and sun

I'll also take my chances with a SE ridge and warmer temps in Feb-better changes for the baroclinic zone to be further north/more storm chances

way too early to say that-a freak slop storm in late March could drop 5 inches...think back to 97-98 the record looked like a lock...
