January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread
weatherwiz replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
Yeah I have noticed you do that, which is great. Obviously it is a major PITA to really do which sucks. Like I've always said, I wish I was skilled enough to take the daily values provided by the CPC for NAO, AO, PNA and create a rolling bi-weekly index. I'm sure this could easily be done in like Excel but it's not as easy as just taking the daily values, adding, and doing an average. There's way more to it...like if you take the daily values for a particular month and divide by the number of days...the value won't match what the monthly index value is. -

This. I think when it comes to creating composites, focusing on weekly or biweekly intervals versus just a monthly averaged plot would end up yielding a more accurate assessment and I think it would really help to add clarity when you're dealing with transient patterns and the transition periods. -

That's awesome...I had a feeling. Explains some of the advertisements too. Her ads are great BTW...always enjoy them. She knows how to do it -

I don't know for 100% but I've always wondered if there was a relation. Is it the QB? -

yeah the flake size was pretty big as those heavier echoes moved overhead. -

Mixture of freezing rain and snow here but becoming more skewed towards snow -

Had some sleet earlier. Best part of it being icy tonight is I don’t have to travel to Branford tomorrow so that means I can watch the first period of this stupid 10:00 game tonight. -

At least with nothing modeled we don't have to endure D10+ snowfall maps from 750 different models after every run -

I'm talking more about saying an upcoming stretch looks boring or quiet or writing off an upcoming stretch just because a storm isn't popping up on guidance. I would definitely wait until we're closer to get super excited and hopeful, but right now we stand in a good spot...much better than looking at a ridge in the east -

IMO, this is one of the best modeled looks we have had in several years. I really hate saying that because that's been said multiple times each of the last few winters but not only is there consensus in how the teleconnections trend and align but how they become structured. That period around Jan 15th...I find it extremely difficult to believe there would not be something around...unless we totally lose the look. But as long as we maintain this look I think we are going to have 2-3 storm threats within a 10 day period.
