Itstrainingtime Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Down to 8.6 here. Wind is howling. It's cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yeah and I am also wondering about Feb/Mar. If this winter is indeed supposed to be imitating 1994, well, you've probably heard about the early March 94 storm. A little bit...how did that one go?

MAG5035 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Meanwhile, latest Euro Weeklies....hmmm...sound familiar? Courtesy Phillywx.com's Euro Weeklies 1/6 thread: week 1 (this week) starts off very cold but moderates towards the weekend. week 2 starts off with +epo/-pna with east coast ridge. Finishes with -epo/+pna troff settles in east week 3 -epo/+pna. Probably the coldest week of the run. Also looks like the stj makes a brief return week 2 into week 3 week 4 -epo /-pna, weak se ridge (basically december pattern) weeks 2-4 PV over northern hudson bay. I can almost hear David Byrne singing...same as it ever was...same as it ever was This winter has definitely seemed to pick a theme and stick with it to this point with a Pac driven pattern and an absence of Greenland blocking. As the EPO flips positive with a very negative PNA this week as per the latest teleconnection forecasts, our airmass will be quickly be overrun with air of Pacific origin at the end of the week and we will be talking perhaps a period of above normal temps...though I suspect it will be another sluggish muted warmup at the surface. PNA forecasted to flip from solidly negative to solidly positive in the longer term which would eventually return our cross polar flow regime. We've been due for an actual warm up, there's not been much more than a handful of warm days since winter arrived in late November.. the question will be how long will it last? I'd really like to see some kind of support from the Atlantic as we move into the part of the winter we traditionally see our big hitters (i.e February) if we continue with the same general theme out in the Pacific. Otherwise we'll continue to be vulnerable to these cutting storms (or coastals with displaced cold) in between periods where it's very cold.

sauss06 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 my property is surrounded by trees on all sides so I doubt I will ever be able to get accurate wind data so I havn't bought anything to even try and record it I guess that was a dumb question i ask, its all trees up there!

JamieOber Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 A little bit...how did that one go? There are people here who think that one was worst than the 93 Superstorm here. When I worked at AccuWeather, Elliot Abrams told me about JB picking him up in his Bronco to go to AccuWeather and sliding around in a foot of snow on Beaver Ave. Apparently there were some ungodly rates too. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/1994/03-Mar-94.html Thanks!

Rick G Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 the super storm of 93 was amazing to see. I still think 96 was a bit better. insane snow fall rates.... My deck was about 30 inches off the ground. the snow was to the top of the deck. (both storms). you would shovel a path and two hours later the path was gone.. 6.6 here now.

djr5001 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 my deck is making occasional awful banging noises likely adjusting to the sharp drop off in temperatures this evening....
