SnoSki14 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 4 hours ago, USCAPEWEATHERAF said: Remember that 2015 winter was the same way, difficult to produce snow until it happened January 26th-28th, 2015. So until it happens we should remain optimistic that something will happen for us. I think when the pattern does click it'll really click. Could see a March 2018 solution for late Jan/February with multiple storms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty Don, the snowfall measurement for Bos should be somewhere in the 2 to 3 inch range. Even meteorologists in here have discussed how BOS is having an issue finding reliable and available people to do their measurements and that number is not accurate. Perhaps a list of <3" would be most accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HimoorWx Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 54 minutes ago, Hoth said: Gentlemen, while on my morning truffle shuffle I was witness today to a most curious natural phenomenon, which I want to pass along. It seems that the remnants of yestereen's rainfall have developed a crust of sorts in the postprandial hours. Indeed, the standing puddles of water appear to have transitioned from a liquid phase to a hard one. I must say I stopped short in abject wonderment to observe said phenomenon and found that this hard-water was both cold to the touch and devilishly slippery. Somewhere in the deepest pockets of memory something familiar in me stirred, some remnant of winters of yore suspended, but what it was I could not say; but I decided then and there to make a thorough investigation into the matter when I returned home. Well, my research has been most illuminating. It would seem that, in a brief period during peak winter climatology, lasting no longer than the twinkling of an eye, the mercury in southern New England may fall to such hyperborean lows as to allow liquid water to transition into a new and rare state called "ice". Gentlemen, I propose to embark on a series of experiments to test this miraculous substance, which I believe may bring about a revolution in the fields of mixology, and stick-wielding winter sports. I shall pass along the particulars in due course should you decide to invest in my new venture. Yours faithfully and sincerely, Hoth, Weenie Emeritus Fake News!

Tip def gets credit for liking a wide variety of weather phenomena. He can wax poetic about a good Sonoran heat release or the inside of the car warming up on March 3rd while spotting crocus shoots popping through the snow. Or a thunderhead exploding to the west on an early May evening while smelling honeysuckle from the outflow boundary. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 In any case ... I'm not saying the GFS solution - or the like... - can't happen. I just see that as lower probability for the usual suspects, which are all legit concerns. I did notice since posting that, however, ...that there are a few members of the GEFs 00z that indicate some sort of amplitude at from the N/stream trying to entangle in that time frame so heh... Thing is, it is D6 like Scott hinted that's not exactly a D10 86'er range... It's mutable in both directions, but not entirely based upon fractals at that range.
