Mostly pingers up here. Occasional catspaws.

jelly I was out on the ice at several places the last few days, but it wasn't skatable. Couldn't find a pond that was still open when it snowed. Maybe the Oxbow might have been good.

the op GFS idea of a ULL nuking in the GOA day 8/9 seems a lot more typical nino than rotting over central AK or something per the EPS and euro op. Granted, this hasn't been the most typical nino so far.

split flow and stj wave train discussion in backloaded Ninos is the absolute best can't wait

CEF hit 1 for the low. Coldest of the season.

Heavy damp virga here Meanwhile, euro ticking colder for next week. HP exits slower.

most were hugging the globals and had a whiff until shortly beforehand. Not all fortunately.

Maybe we'll find out the pac really does drive the bus all the time and Tuesday will piss rain to Canada... but literally it was just yesterday that the GFS (especially) was showing something we haven't seen in a long time, which is the low levels saving us from a horrific upper air pattern, not just once but repeatedly. QC HP pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat. Perhaps just another model fantasy, we'll see.

It's not in debate that the pac sucks thereafter... the glass half full view is that the warm air push could be cut off at the pass over some of New England. Kind of like the Tuesday potential.

Even beyond that panel above, EPS continues to funnel cold air into eastern Canada with a certain amount of ridging N of AK and maybe a weak +NAO. Possibly a gradient pattern, miller B looks, or CAD, but any given storm might have a decent source it could tap into.

I've seen hideous'er EPS day 11-15 looks

4" final

Still pinging here in Btown, though do see occasional flakes mixed in. We may flip back soon.

As expected snow growth improved mightily in Charlemont down to Greenfield as that warm layer pushed closer. Sn+

Bad lift, nuisance snow at Berkshire East. Need that warm air aloft to push north west for some of these models to verify this way.

was lousy to wake up to a half inch tops, but making hay now.

same. best of the day here. Very low vis.

Calling it a coating would be generous but I guess that was kind of fun

new warnings dropping up and down the front edge now

I believe that would be an all time record low for the CONUS if valid

you know what the worst thing about peacock? You can't project content with an HDMI port to an external display. It's mind boggling. And in my case, my Dell laptop running Ubuntu won't even let me play content locally, because the device itself has an HDMI port.

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek, but I kind of doubt that played in. This is Buffalo after all. There would be zero lost beer and hotdog sales.

literally not a week since jackpotting a big storm-- must be something in the water
