The secondary low forming means lots more rain for us. 

Look sw of Philly and the movement/forming convection…

Going to be wild this evening 

Lots of convection forming sw of the area. 1-2 more inches definitely possible

3 top 10 lowest snowfall seasons during the 2020s so far. Their new average for the 2020s so far is only 26.1 which is similar to what NYC averaged during earlier decades. So about 50% of what they averaged during the 2010s. Boston had 100” in only 39 days back in 2015. That 39 day total is higher than their total snowfall since January 2021 to March 2024.

Wow. Thanks for the information. Just like NYC, that area might have experienced their peak snowfall in the 2010’s. CC might be playing a role in sne now

If it’s getting to the point now where SE ridges will regularly link up with the -NAO which negates the benefit of blocking episodes, we’re in big trouble and probably SNE too. Not sure if there have been historical periods where this happened. 

Agreed. You either need to be near a lake or extreme NNE to get good winters now. Boston,bdl and orh will continue to see mild/snowless winters

Some people on holding on faith in SNE.

Haha….

many in that forum are in denial

Boston will be pushing 3 years on its last snowfall of 4 inches or more next winter 

I couldn’t care less about the sky conditions on Monday

Look how warm it is for sne….

NNE will probably be fine. The storm cutting north over MI allows that WAA to max out further west and the secondary to take over and lock in the cold. Might still be worth watching down to I-90, even in Boston I’d keep an eye open. Here of course it’s just another flavor of misery. Whatever can end this complete garbage pattern I’m down for. 

Euro is very warm for NNE. 987 primary over the lakes. Huge storm WI

This setup as modeled now wouldn't work in January let alone April

A location in WI will do better with snow then NNE now 

.10 so far as the week of rain starts

At this point agreed-don't want any of that crap.   I'm thinking models are way overdone there anyway....

Where is the low level cold drain to make that a realistic outcome? Plus it’s the nam showing this outside 48 hours

So glad I don’t live in New England. 3” of sleet in April? No thanks!

I don’t think anyone up there gets that amount of sleet.

Persistent troughing in the SW near Baja has been a big thorn in the side of Ern snowlovers this winter.

Anytime you have that feature there you should expect a more potent SE ridge. The case is no different with this storm.

Ill also mention it's worth noting that since the EPO regime of years ago...another problem has been consistent energy coming into the PAC NW/swrn Canada which has consistently allowed the PNA ridge to rollover almost trapping the Baja trough underneath.

 

What it boils down to is that I've always been a believer of PAC over ATL. If your PAC is crap the ATL will respond in kind despite an anomalous NAO episode. 

100% agreed. Until we see pac improvements it will be a struggle for eastern snow enthusiasts. We have witnessed so many of these strong blocks the past few years produce nothing because of a awful pacific configuration

The NE edge seems to be drying up

Steady rain here currently. Radar looks good for everyone south of 78 

Rain today looks a bit further north on radar than forecasted. Yesterday, models had my area dry for today 

Blocking linking up with the southeast ridge kills us again
