the problem is that a walmart pattern might not cut it given the crappy background state of this "winter" or shall I say extended autumn.
-
Whatever happens, happens. The sun will continue to rise in the east. One wise man around here did say "If it doesn't come by late January it's probably not going to"
-
Better get some cold air in here...most of the city and coast's biggest storms are preceded by arctic air ahead of time not 55 degrees

all about the buzzwords---"the storm will create its own cold air" "Dynamics" It's 30 degrees at Hunter Mtn, that will be pulled south....yada yada yada -

How long have you been at this? 20 yrs? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result... -
it makes sense-with the WPC being warm phases 4-5-6 are favored...Notice how little it's been 8-1-2?

Yep-can't buy a cold airmass this year except for a week in January -

For urban areas it likely is. Hard to see how it accumulates on pavement in the city with temps 34 or so and a daytime event. Would have to come down very heavy to overcome that. N and W different story with some elevation/colder air -

We've had 2 inches of snow on the season, there has been 8 days of cold the whole season and there's limited cold for this event....that's why -
This season reminds me a bit of 97-98-some decent tracks for snow but cold air is lacking most of the winter

Urban areas may struggle...ground is warm and the days leading up to the storm are warm-a night time event with heavy rates would do the trick however. Best shot is N and W where you have some elevation to work with and closer to any available colder air.... -
Incredible post. Thank you.
-
any cold air that does move south and east will certainly moderate over snowless ground and mostly ice free lakes
-
No cold air....same problem all winter....
-
If that's the case averages are in the low to mid 40's by then....that coupled with the data about having no snow by late January (The season tends to not produce if that's the case) then it might be about over...
-
Story of the last 2 yrs...cold has been very hard to come by-relying on a storm bombing in the perfect spot to deliver the goods otherwise.
-
b/c it's the long range. we've been chasing the LR since Thanksgiving with 2 inches of snow to show for it. Hope it happens but there's reason to be skeptical given the winter to date.
-
Not to mention 5 days of almost clear skies after 10 days overcast and 40 degrees
-
Wonder who that is...LOL
-
Twitter has an expert for everything ya know....
-
Rain. it's in the 50's and 60's in the days before the storm-where's any cold air coming from?
-
yeah the airmass is crap. we've seen how that works out in the past....
-
Good-too much -NAO is congrats DC
