The latest discussion from Upton says 1of 2 things are going to happen with the storm on Saturday they say either inland will get around 1" of snow with snow changing to rain from east to west. Or inland will receive a plowable snow with a wintry mix changing to rain elsewhere. .. either way this is definitely going to be a non event for the city east.... They also talk about the possible midweek storm and how that one might be snow inland and rain changing to snow elsewhere because the low is too close to the coast so that might also be a non event for the city east as well....

Mount holly

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

THE AXIS OF A SHARP MID-LEVEL TROUGH IN THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY

EVENING WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS

WHILE IT DE-AMPLIFIES BEFORE REACHING THE COAST LATE SATURDAY

MORNING OR EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS

TROUGH IS LIMITED, SO ANY SNOW ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LIGHT, WITH A

COATING TO AROUND ONE INCH EXPECTED WHEREVER SNOW DOES INDEED

OCCUR...ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN PA AND NORTHWEST NJ. SATURDAY

AFTERNOON WILL IMPROVE TO AT LEAST PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS, ALONG

WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

THEN ANOTHER SHORT WAVE BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST AS IT

AMPLIFIES OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH

THIS SYSTEM IS NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE, BUT FROM THIS VANTAGE POINT

IN TIME, AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW MIGHT BE POSSIBLE LATE SATURDAY

NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. LIGHT SNOW SHOULD END ONCE THE

TROUGH AXIS MOVES OFF THE COAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE FLOW THEN

BECOMES ZONAL LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH A SURFACE FRONT

ORIENTED WEST TO EAST IN SOUTHERN NEW YORK STATE SAGGING SLOWLY

SOUTH LATE MONDAY AS YET ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DEVELOPS OVER THE OHIO

VALLEY INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO

TUESDAY. A WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY DEVELOP AS THIS

TROUGH APPROACHES THE COAST, BUT CURRENT MODEL RUNS SEEM TO KEEP

THE CENTER OF THIS LOW JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND EJECT OFF THE COAST

WITH MINIMAL IMPACT ON OUR CWA. THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY

THIS FAR OUT, SO WE/LL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AS WE GET CLOSE

TO THE EVENT.

That would fit with December here on li. In this case unfortunately the trend is you're Freind .

THE MAIN QUESTION IS WHETHER TWO SHORTWAVES REMAIN RELATIVELY
PHASED LIKE THE CMC AND ECMWF OR ARE SLIGHTLY STAGGERED LIKE THE
NAM AND GFS. THE FORMER SOLUTION BRINGS THE LIKELIHOOD OF A
PLOWABLE SNOW ACROSS INTERIOR ZONES...WHILE THE LATTER WOULD BRING
MAYBE UP TO AN INCH BEFORE THE SNOW CHANGES TO RAIN FROM E TO W
DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. EITHER SOLUTION IS PLAUSIBLE - FOR NOW
AM GOING WITH A COMPROMISE OF THE TWO SOLUTIONS AS A
RESULT...USING A BLEND OF NAM AND ECMWF THERMAL PROFILES...AND A
BLEND OF ALL QPF.

Yesterday Bluewave posted the 500 MB FEB  JMA monthly this is its 2M  temps for the month .

The JMA has been spot on all winter ....

 

February has a bit of a retrogression of the EPO ridge axis  back closer to the Bering Sea.

Looks like GEFS are moving that way after the Arctic blast.

Canada would stay cold, but the exact placement of the ridge will determine whether the coldest readings hang

back along the Rockies to Upper Midwest like we saw in December.

But remember Dec was cold because the source region ( thats is arctic air )  , that 1 above was a 70 spot that added 30 degrees in 1 day and screwed the month  otherwise without those few days we finish below .

I have oil :(

me too

 

So wolf...we went from arguing r/s line to NOTHING. The euro has been awful.

 

I would be wiling to bet you a beer that this pattern will not yield a snow event 8" or greater...this has the 1980's decade written all over it = which means now through 2/1/14. 8" at NYC

Pattern could run through Feb 10  as per CFSV2

15 days is enough time....considering its been a bad pattern for the last 10 days

Tell you what I will bet you by FEB 10 we get a storm of 6 inches or greater if I lose I will send 500 $  to you`re favorite charity

If I win you have to start a thread apologizing for whining   Deal ?

So you're saying possibly no more than 8 in. of snow thru the end of the month? Thats fine with me..even just a few inches with the impressive cold would be great. Is everyone only happy if we get 20 in. or more?

This pattern will most likely produce, you'll probably keep Ace's beer in a snow bank to keep it cold :)

I think there are multiple events on there way , its just a matter of lining the trough axis up . So it could be d 5 , 8 , 11  , 15 etc , just

don't know which one of these that  comes through the slot comes NE .

And maybe in the process you get a temp block .  Cold a lock , Snow never a lock.

i dont need you to spend $500....plus Feb 10 is basically 4 weeks. Do the odds favor you even in a bad pattern? I am referring to the ogling of the euro and gfs ensembles through month end
