snowgeek Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The big key for 1/8 is the 50/50 low that develops from the weekend storm. That's exceptionally important for holding the Quebec confluence. Agree. Gotta hold that high in place like the 0Z Euro. 12Z backed off a smidge. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just now, weatherwiz said: That storm next week almost screams an icing scenario for somewhere in NE. Almost a perfect setup for cold air to just drain into the region. Might be tough for southern areas to remain all frozen, but this could be nasty somewhere. We’ll take it.

December has never historically been a big snow month, although the trend the past several-plus years has been some brutal Decembers. There is a ton of potential moving forward and if the changes within the stratosphere and the PV transpire like what has been hinted we will be dealing with some pretty active times.

Yeah I could def see some ice with that setup for a time. We'll see what it looks like as we get closer. It's kind of weird we've been tracking this thing for like 2 days already but it's still 6 days out. Long time to go yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise that our two good decembers in the past 6 years were both La Niña or cold neutral (2013 and 2017) and the 3 garbage decembers were all El Niño. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this signal has been there for a few days now, but like you said still a long way to go. If the synoptic setup verifies as is with that omega-block look that high to the north goes nowhere. This would be a rather dynamic (and fast moving) system and I'm sure there would be one heck of a frontogenetic band. It would be nice if that system could like change the pattern a bit but even days after it still looks like the central part of the country remains in the favor for cyclogenesis.

Anytime there is a Nino on hand December is pretty much cooked. Plus when you factor in unfavorable blocking/stratosphere we have had as well as a whole.

snowgeek Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 18Z FV3 shows one way this could not work out. Confluence in Canada is weaker, high is weaker and further north and drifts east. This allows low to track further north and secondary doesn’t get going far enough south to lock in cold air. I find this scenario more believable in the recent regime than a stronger high and a further south snowier scenario for more weenies. I’d rather expect less and get pleasantly surprised if this works out lol. Easier on the psyche. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I right now would be pleasantly surprised if I see more than 1” and a few hrs glaze in K ASH. Climo is certainly creeping toward max winter , so more icing certainly possible. I would honestly be very surprised if this sustained as a plowable event for pike Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH laid it out pretty well...if it can redevelop earlier into a hybrid Miller B, it could be a solid regionwide storm. It could also track up the St Lawrence and be a SWFE to rain even in far NNE. However we are getting to the point where a good chunk of posters won't believe it even if models show 8-12" until they are shoveling it. The default logic until proven otherwise these days seems to be "expect heartbreak". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the risk is more on the warmer side, but it has a few things going for it like decent confluence to our northeast and a cold surface to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
