The First Week of Jan..Bitter cold,Balls drop as we ring in 2013

[Logan11]

Absolutely. I for one have always stated that snow is what matters....to this weenie anyway. LOL I could care less if January continues the torch >normal trend as long as I get my regular snow and keep snowcover. Given that my average high/low must be about 8/28 in mid January, a month averaging several degrees above normal could work out very well if we get the precip.

Its amazing how one day of snow wipes out 3+ weeks of fire, its never about the temps, its always about the white...................always.

Anyone know where all that stuff inn the midwest is going?

Crunched in the meatgrinder as it heads east.

The shredder

[Logan11]

Crushed under confluence I guess.... Plus it's sliding well south of our latitude anyway.

So if the Arctic cold will not be as intense that means the confluence will be less leaving room for improvement in development next week. Something to watch for. Who cares what happened in early December, deep snow all across SNE well except Dorchester

[CoastalWx]

Scooter I have no idea what you are talking about. XXX, the AO delivered,sorry you got hosed, maybe next year, oh wait that's tomorrow.

Not really, most of the EC got porked instead of the interior. The Pacific killed us, which is the point of all this. It's not always about the AO..more like EPO.

While on the train today riding into Boston, there was a pretty sharp snow pack gradient about 5 miles west. Around Watertown. It went from a solid 7-9" to about 4" in a span of 5 miles or so.

Steve you are right in a sense, but this whole airmass was pretty bootleg. We finally has OK cold in this last storm.

[dryslot]

In the crapper like the next 2 weeks is heading

[Logan11]

Seems like the 47F sst couldn't have helped Boston. What's that more typical for late Nov/early Dec?

Oh well, seems a waste to lose all that moisture while we have a front coming through.

Yeah, but it wasn't totally because of that. Low 40s this time of year is normal.

[apm]

It is certainly looks counterintuitive that we don't see anything out of that... just goes to show how much we do rely on the computers.

Actually, that stuff may survive for flurries or very light snow over the south coast. I wouldn't be shocked.

Congrats to Joe on 1-3

2-4 for NE CT

[ChrisM]

If we had an inch of snow, for every time, scooter put in an unnecessary, comma, we would be, swimming in it.

-8C isotherm weenie band.

Supposed to be a comma after "actually."

gfs has been hinting at this off and on mentioned the last few days,todays 12z was the most promising yet, a coating would be a win for all of sne. Not like we have a PV sitting on top of us shunting it south, pretty run of the mill airmass, trend n and w most of the season.

mayan miracle part duex

It may dry up east of PA...but there is some decent mid level RH which tells me flurries are possible. I wouldn't count on measurable.

[Damage In Tolland]

-8C isotherm weenie band.

Which BTW worked out very well for weekend storm. Amazing a met didn't even know what it was or the rule

I know of the rule, but this isn't 1978 anymore. We have better tools. Also, -8 at 850 was too far NW.

[Mr Torchey]

Time to find a meso model that shows measurable tonight like the gfs does............time to ride the HRRR this afternoon.

[Brian5671]

GFS got anything long term or is it blowtorch city?

[HoarfrostHubb]

Weenie flakes off and on all morning here

The rule actually didn't work at all. Otherwise the banding that we got would have been up in upstate NY.

Which they did get. That was the point

Yet you were using it to justify getting good amounts in SNE, lol.
