Jesus Albany getting obliterated. Multiple G58 obs under SN+

Almost looks like a boundary coming north in southern CT. Interesting.

Nice activity starting to pop in CT. Albany rocked with SN+ and G51.

And put my laundry in the dryer. We meh so far.

Looks like that area west of Waterbury is trying to intensify.

Totally agree. There’s a limit to how much this can trend imo.

It looks great up that way. I think our hope down here in the hinterlands is for the Hudson Valley stuff to intensify as it slides east.

Flurries here.

Yeah, we’re good. Just not spiking until I’m under SN+.

Hopefully far enough south to rock here…

Approximately five days out is long enough for the caveats obviously but this isn’t really an eternity away and the synoptic pattern has looked good for a while. I like where we are regardless of what the ops show right now.

The melts would be spectacular

I don’t disagree with you, but the models were pretty paltry verbatim. I think we eventually end up with a 1-3/2-4” deal.

Not worth much as we wait for the GFS but the ICON had more of a developing low at 18z. We’ll see what the GFS does but there are certainly some ticks toward something measurable.

January is a football month.

Monday at 4:30. It sucks but you can’t have tens of thousands of people traveling into a legit blizzard w 65mph gusts. It’s not a regular 6-12” deal. It’s 1-2’+ with whiteout conditions…unless the LES is south lol.

It’s a torch here today. 59°.

There were a couple of models if I remember correctly that had an off/on signal for snow showers but I think the NAM was the first to get more aggressive and consistent.

Thanks for the thread. I really like the potential tomorrow. At the very least it’ll feel like winter with the wind and those crashing temps.

When I retired years ago, it was time. After years of building, owning, and operating The Panic Room, I was tired. I needed to hang up the scythe and engage in other pursuits. I took up rest. I became something of a celebrity. You may have seen some of my cameo appearances on television. And of course, I've enjoyed the beach. But deep down, I always knew when I retired that there was a chance I'd have to put on the Garment of Darkness again as the cries of Mid-Atlantic weenies grew louder with successive years of snow futility. I've watched with concern as @psuhoffmanslipped into madness, saying that the days of Mid-Atlantic snow have ended. My empty chest cavity sank as I saw the rage on the subforum boil over daily and the schadenfreude that warmed the heart of @mattie g. Even folks like @H2O seem lost. I sat by quietly and witnessed the devolution of this subforum, until I received a call I couldn't avoid. For the first time, the alarm in my sacred chamber was triggered. My old friend has called for my return for years. Those calls went unanswered. But seeing this most profound lamentation at the season was too much for me to bear. For too long there have been no consequences for canceling winter early. There is too much anger and strife, rather than camaraderie and comedy forged by being beaten down by winter. There must be a sacrifice to please the Great Pacific. There must be violence to disturb the Polar Vortex. The Lord High Executioner of the Mid-Atlantic and Eastern Realms must step forward to conduct this most solemn task. @Jebman, I think you still have faith in flakes, and for winter to truly arrive (we think) I must take one with a pure winter weenie heart and soul. Wipe those tears from your eyes and grab your shovel. It's time to come home. Sorry it had to be so messy. I know you wanted white glove service but I had a spa appointment I couldn't miss. Ok, now back to yoga and fishing and retirement. You're welcome, Mid-Atlantic. Oh...wow..I almost forgot. Jeb, let me borrow that shovel for a minute.

Add the 3k NAM to the list. I’m intrigued.

Agree and I think most would sign up even for a widespread 2-4” Tues/Wed if it came with deep cold and the big dog…

What?

Is it fair to say that while the late bloom scenarios limit qpf potential back this way it enhances the possibility of colder region wide events?

Agree. I love the setup for this one.
