MDT's low of 28 this AM, 4 degrees colder than CXY, will go a long way to limiting their chance to make this the second warmest Jan in recorded history despite the chance of hitting 60 tomorrow. They stand at 39.6 now and will probably drop a bit today and Tue.
One sentence from Bob Chill on the MA board. Common sense IMO but people seem to listen to him, so this advice carries some weight as to punting snow chances for the season when still in January. We are entering the snowiest month of the year next week.
Bob Chill-
There's literally 7 weeks of solid snow climo left. Especially for bigger events. This is the beginning of prime time for that. It could easily snow here this year and we can get a big storm.
Those temps have been showing up for quite some time, though recessing farther and farther north from before when @CarlislePaWx and some others mentioned. They are pretty incredible for little to no snow cover (even far NE US) and Canada can keep them IMO. :-). At one point one member of the EPQ had -30 over the LSV.
I remember growing up and wishing I lived farther East than Harrisburg as the snow always seemed to miss us to the East...and then living in Philly in the 90's, I wished I lived back in Harrisburg as it turned to rain too often in Philly. Those Western Chester (I assume not West Chester) stats have 5 years of 80 or higher (counting the 79.7). MDT only has one.
Big game hunting, we want some energy in the northern stream. Some of the commentary in the MA LR thread is pointed toward people who live near the beach.
HH GFS...little love on actual details but this panel shows northern energy coming into the equation....a good step towards a better solution being possible. MA will not like it but we do not want a southern slider.
Hehe. I hope Blizz is coming up with something good and not tearing anything down. I just went to the MA LR looking for the next window and came away feeling defeated. Going to need my normal Saturday Am Blizz uplift posts tomorrow.
