    And then-verbatim, back to windy cold and dry. Maybe all this noise in the northern stream can actually nudge something like this east, but last month the precip arrived in spades when the cold went away. I agree, this weather outside is brutal. Had to pick my garbage pails up for the 3rd time today in the freezing wind and frozen brown ground. I really don't get those who actually enjoy this.

    In perfect sync with this winter so far. Numerous cold/dry Dec days but plenty of precip when it became too warm (granted-snow before Christmas), the NYE thunderstorms, back to cold/dry with suppressed garbage. Wouldn’t be surprised in the least to see it go right back to cutters or cold rain SWFEs when it relaxes.

    Storms don’t trend NW because “that just happens”. If we keep this suppressive blocking pattern and fast Pacific, this same outcome will keep happening.

    Ain’t that wonderful for them.

    Forget bed, it’s been dragged out behind the barn, shot and buried 6 feet under.

    In marginal events here it does help. It’s usually 2-3 degrees colder up here which can make a big difference. I remember Mar 2019 being half decent where I live now with 3-5” wet snow and nothing on the south shore. 2/28/23 is another example-5” at my house now and white rain in Long Beach.

    If it’s another half inch event I could honestly care less. It’ll be mostly gone in 12 hours.

    Maybe 1979-80 but that was an El Niño.

    Whatever can go wrong will kind of winter. Unless of course you live in DC south, then they keep cashing in.

    In the last few years that’s been when we’ve been able to get snow-early Feb timeframe like in 2024, 2021.

    Just about everyone to our south cashing in though, in a Nina. Nature has a weird cruel dry sense of humor.

    Yup, and Philly

    Anyone wondering about the ICON-it's congrats on a line from just N of Dallas to Norfolk VA. Pretty much zippo north of Richmond. Everyone on that line would be ahead to well ahead of Central Park in season snow by Sat night.

    The waters off Japan cooling down significantly. That’s a bit simplistic but that issue arose in 2018 and hasn’t really relented since, and ever since that marine heatwave started, the Pacific jet has been supercharged. Bluewave has posted many times about it. As for this threat, there’s still some hope for a light 1-3” event but hope for a heavier event if no major change tonight gets the plug pulled. The N and S streams won’t cooperate and the pattern is too fast with a kicker right behind it to allow any real amplification before it’s booted out sea. The vigorous trough coming through is where our hope really lies for the snow event, not the coastal storm.

    When the wind direction is just right from the ENE it’s happened off the Sound. In some coastal storms there’s a sound enhancement effect due to the NE winds enhancing lift via frictional convergence over LI and lingering the snow. Growing up in Long Beach as a kid I thought the Reynolds Channel could help but all it helped with was changing us to rain sooner.

    Was probably intended to be humorous but inappropriate especially given how fast BS gets spread on social media these days, and then people twist into misinformation. Then the panic headlines “NWS predicts up to 40” of snow this weekend”. I knew the zonked up GFS runs with 20+ amounts would be everywhere and sure enough.
  17. jm1220
    Pretty much, the streams don't phase, the S stream gets strung out like silly putty and the whole mess gets booted out to sea by the kicker trough behind it. Like getting yanked off the stage with a cane when you choke.

    Approaching 1/15 which is halfway point of met winter, definitely trending towards the fail column. Hey, it's in good company with 18-19, 19-20, 22-23, 23-24. Couldn't care less that there are lots of windy dry cold days. The T-storm complexes on New Years Eve and cutters will always show up when the weather turns warm again.

    The storm isn't well enough developed at 500mb to throw much snow back west. The storm needs to develop more aloft on its own for that to happen. It has a closed 850 low here and nothing higher.

    I pinned Walt’s 1/6 storm thread, so I clearly cursed that one. Hopefully @Rjaycan reel this in.

    We’re tracking 1-3” at worst at this point in January. It could turn around but when the pattern’s as boring as watching grass grow-not much else to talk about. Anyone have any details on the one EPS member out of 50 that gives us more than the 1-3”?

    Albany is pretty run down but there are some decent areas downtown. On the west side near I-87/airport not too bad either. Near the river/Rensselaer are depressing.

    I’ve lived in Texas. Dealing with just one summer with 100+ degree heat for months is pure torture. I lived there in May 2015 when there was near epic rainfall in part of the state and plenty of severe weather so there was that. But I missed the Jan 2015 and 2016 storms up here for which I’m still pissed.
  24. jm1220
    I have to think sooner or later a real threat will pop up if we keep the cold. The SE ridge will help.

    Syracuse is actually a pretty fun town. I’ve been there for work a number of times. N of Syracuse though is literally the middle of nowhere.
