If I’m right about this winter, the second half of January is our best shot at a decent snowfall. We whiff this time and Feb goes +3 with the -pna/SE ridge coming back, best we can hope for is a late Feb early March gift.

Gorgeous day out. 62
-
Happy new year all!
-
Nowhere near a super nino, more like an east based one. Check the pac SST map, you’ll see relatively warmer temps in nino 1.2 vs 3.4. Don’t think we’re saying extended torch, we don’t know. But I’m less confident compared to a couple days ago after seeing the models get warmer each run.
-
Yeah, that was what I was saying in my recent comment this morning. I was hoping to see this week’s torch come to a quick end with a nice pna ridge and plenty of cold air in Canada to set things up for the next wave that decides to come by. What I’m seeing in the latest ensemble runs is +5 to +10 air across the eastern 2/3 of Canada, and my first thought was “how is this going to lead to snow here?” As much as I want to see it, I just don’t. Not yet.
-
My only concern with the current look is warm temp anomalies over Canada even with a good h5 look right over us and the SE. Not sure we’ll get our air cold enough to snow even through the end of Jan.

Drizzly foggy 49. Low 43

We don’t call them clown maps for no reason
-
Plus side to this weather is I can actually go out running. Need to lose these holiday pounds…
-
Not that I take these LR maps literally, but my -1 January call for DC is likely blown even before the month starts. And I have Feb at +3. I’d love to be wrong, but it’s not looking great. I’m starting to sound like psuhoffman, but we only need one decent storm.
-
Well yeah, the weenie in me peeks at those, too. But the met in me knows not to take them too seriously. It’s alright, don’t be too hard on yourself.
-
You’re looking at ptype in the Op at D+10 right?
-
Wow, you’ve changed.
-
60 here in Ashburn. Walked outside with my wife. Loved it.
-
55 here. Think I’ll go for a sunny Jebwalk.
-
Ha ha, point taken. Guess I'm still tracking, but at an arm's length. Not gonna let myself get burned again like I did by that cutter
-
Haven't looked at the 12z gfs, but remember that the gfs held onto its own offshore solution until 5 days before the big cutter... and then it caved. Waiting to see agreement between gfs, euro, and cmc, then I'll start tracking.
-
28 for the low
-
I used to live there during college. It was always extremely muddy throughout the year.
-
Low of 23. Think it was colder than forecast
-
Stats from Ocean City MD or coastal delaware would also be interesting to see. They’ve done a lot better lately.
-
Maybe we should have a separate thread for DCA stats. Oh wait, we already have one. Either way, this conversation is getting kinda boring.
-
Maybe this will be backloaded. Maybe we’ll get nothing. Nobody knows. If we get a 3-4 incher at the end of February, I’ll take the W and then get ready for spring weather. And if we really do get nothing… well… see you next year, I guess.
-
Yeah its crap, at least how it’s modeled for now. It did tick up around an inch though. Best we can hope for in that period is a post frontal wave that pops up within 3-4 days. Otherwise we’re looking into the second half of the month.
-
Thanks. I’m hoping we get a backloaded winter this time. My monthly temp forecasts are tracking well so far, but my -1 January call may already be in trouble even before it starts. We’re going to have a lot of ground to make up after the second week.
