A lot of thundersnow in that , that and Feb 2021 were the the last great storms for me with 4” one hour and a ton of Thunder snow .. I think around 15” I’m sure 4 seasons has the map
What the heck is going on in here?
Using geese as a tool for your long range winter forecasts makes you a great long range forecaster? I’d try to find a better example. Unless you are kidding I hope lol
Pretty loud signal for day 6-7, but makes sense as Tip was saying... EPS has a mean over south tip of Delmarva , hugs NW of BM then scoots East of BM, some very strong lows in there.. 4-6" mean for SNE is pretty wild for day 6-7...
Or worse for some, Euro is wrong on both and we go 35- 45 and drizzle Friday and then whiff Monday .. I'd rather 65 and sunny if we are going to melt the pack might as well torch..
Almost looks like a spring time bowling ball, nothing really impressive .. not really sure how it gets so strong near the benchmark on the euro.. closer look vort goes right under Long Island and "tries" to get its act together.
There is interest in that period for Sunday night / Monday but it's a thread the needle , not much cold to work with.. Then a fropa maybe next Tuesday/Wednesday with a brief visit from the Polar Vortex possibly..
You talking about tomorrow night? I wouldn’t say Sunday night into next Monday is pike north or 1-2 spot 3 at this moment. All guidance is a miss south of us except euro ..
Just some perspective here on how horrible last January was even compared to this one down here which is below normal snow wise..
January 2023 - 0.9" snow 38.7 average temp - 8 days below 40 for a high and the lowest max was 33.8
Through Jan 21, 2024 - 5.9" of snow .. 29.5 average temp - 11 days below 40 out of 21 .. 7 days below 30 for a high
Back to current affairs. Euro is a bit more enthused with next Sunday/Monday threat.. Gfs was a bit too far south.. Not a bad spot to be 7.5 days out.. Looks like a thread the needle as cold air will be an issue..
Also guidance has trended a bit too far east with the eastern trough for the Jan 30/31 threat. Let's see if that can move back west with time..
GEFS still like the general 3-4 day window of the 27th-31st for storminess and snow threats. With what would be 2 threats one the 27-28 and another the 30-31st .. Nothing before or after that window for SNE , With CNE and NNE having some opportunity this coming week..
It can still trend colder next week and not snow here .. Trends aren't your friend .. Pike north is in the game, not us.. Focus on the last 3-4 days of January.
Ya I'm over next week ( you have a better shot than I do for a sloppy few inches) , my interest is in next weekend into the 30th-31st could be 2 threats in there .. PNA spike plus some Arctic highs moving into favorable spots for us ..
GFS and Canadian both colder on next weekends system .. That has potential to trend colder as well as we get that quick PNA ridge between the 29th and 31st
It's going to be a last minute thing, can we get the high to tick better and thus colder.. Right now the area from 84 to the pike is has the most at stake could be a few inches of snow then a glaze over to drizzle.. Any trends weaker and east with the high would mean mostly rain .. If we can get that high stronger and more west then more are in the game for 3-6" then a glaze.. CNE is best in this set-up, my gut is that the high trends east and weaker with time .. EPS is most bullish on a few inches for you .. GEFS and GEPS are mostly rain to the pike..
The waves after that look like mostly rain as well for most of us .. Then we await Jan 30th
Man if we don't have that system to track on the 30th ... This forum will be the worst we have ever seen heading into February looking at the 11-15 lol .. EPS isn't as bad but just an epic torch with no end in sight on GEFS and GEPS
Already a few members with lows in the vicinity of the benchmark for 10 days out there would be more but there's timing differences obviously .. That signal has pretty much been there since day 15 ..
