Grim discussion in the long range from Binghamton:
Our region continues to see a lack arctic high pressure systems
overall. These high pressure systems would have the potential to
shift the storm track further south, more favorably for snow.
The MJO looks to move into phases 2 and 3 which promote warmer
temperatures in mid to late January and storm tracks from the
southwest into the Great Lakes similar to this upcoming week. So
the possibility of the least snowiest January on record at
Binghamton (current snow 0.4 and the record 6.8 inches in 1973)
continues to be very real.
