    I think a lot of people have an unrealistic view of the past when it comes to winter wx. It certainly was colder, but it wasn't Quebec City either and the snow climatology was not 1925 BOS being equal to present day ORH or even present day BED....and a lot of the warming doesn't manifest in cyclogenesis anyway....rather in the milder patterns intruding into the region during more unfavorable hemispheric longwave setups and in radiational cooling spots during calm nights.

    CC really needs to be thought of in terms of probability on the tails which usually makes people's eyes glaze over, so I understand why its often dumbed down for the masses. But what it really means is that we've increased the chances of record warm events but this does not magically eliminate natural variability either. There's a reason we had our coldest month of all time in 2015 after over a century of CC....natural variation still is the dominant player on smaller timescales such as months and seasons. But when you get a canonical warm pattern, CC helps that become more likely to be record warmth versus 100 years ago. 

    isn't the warmer west pacific focusing tropical forcing in a region that's unfavorable for eastern us cold?

    Upton not impressed

    && .HYDROLOGY... Rainfall from Thu night into Sat somewhat uncertain. Areas from NYC north/west and across SE CT/eastern Long Island appear most likely to see at least 1-1.5 inches. A stronger offshore trough/low could Fri into Sat could result in heavier rain of over 2 inches for parts of SE CT/eastern Long Island. Duration of this rainfall should limit any hydrologic impact.
