I'm just ready for it to get here. At some point, enough is enough. Of course, I'm up for the euro and tracking temps.

No explosions yet but the night is young. -10.0/-16. Since this isn't a radiational cooling night I've been tracking close to KSLK. They're -11. Wind chill -28.

Well in a season of firsts, here's a new one. Coldest snowfall. It was snowing here at -5.7/-11.0 and it was actually ripping a bit briefly. Just under an inch for the day. Incredible stuff.

Well I don't love that out here. Maybe you were onto something MPM

I know that we have several threads going now, and mods, if this doesn't work I won't be offended if you take it down, but we have multiple blasts of Arctic air that will produce a long duration cold snap for much of the U.S., including New England. The first burst is happening as I write in advance of our major winter storm, and models continue to show a significant period post storm of frigid lows and very cold daytime highs. Looking specifically at CT, while we have certainly been colder, some of the ensemble progs put us in territory of some of our longer below freezing cold snaps. I think the Tuesday through Thursday right after the departure of our storm may over perform with possible radiational cooling and a fresh snowpack. I am not saying the numbers below will verify exactly, but I wanted to break this out from the January tracking thread and winter storm thread because I think the anomalous cold is the foundation for the wx we're seeing in the coming week or so and worthy of dedicated discussion. Let loose the Arctic hounds.

Yeah BTV hinted at the possibility yesterday that the front would trigger snow showers/squalls over the course of the day. Yesterday we over produced. Today not so much. It has snowed every day here since the 13th.

Psychologically it’s gotta be so much better for people if things amp incrementally to game time than if you start high and don’t budge. I mean some people here enjoy the chase more than actual snow falling. Classic dopamine drip.

Feeling good. It's nice to just watch a storm unfold without worrying too much. It's about damn time. This is going to be a big one for many, not just in New England.

I don't watch the news really so idk what they're saying, but this is probably going to be a legitimately high end to historic storm. Anyone getting .75-1" of ZR down in the south is going to have their grid collapse.

4.1° here at WXW2. 9° in Amarillo with -SN and a wind chill of -9.

A worthwhile read https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=qpfhsd

GP forgot that we can do higher end snow and cold here.

Where do you get that plot from again?

Yep, up in SLK for the next week or so.

People were just high fiving and going belly to belly six hours ago over the NAM and now this? How about waiting until it shows a solution in consecutive runs before making a judgement?

Yep. 20-30” or a torch In all seriousness, we watch the trends. Whenever they develop.

Plenty of bark on the trees here in the Adirondacks

Light snow underway. We’ll see how much we can produce today. Been hovering between 10.7 and 11.3 all day.

Obliterates the south lol

6” of snow with 70mph winds?

Man, this is a cold powder event for everyone away from the coast. Single digit temperatures to start. GFS has me getting beyond -30 tonight. Snowing near zero.

lol you are shook. Northern crew will be ok.

Good Monday snow too.

I know. He’s ridiculous.

Yeah, we’re about locked. Maybe coastal areas need to watch out for a marginal cut, but overall this should be a tremendous region wide high end event. First in a long long time. Big cold after.
