CoastalWx Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I still feel after the 7th is when things become better and perhaps later in month when it gets much better. We’re slowly seeing these signs not in la la land, and getting within 8 days or so. Hopefully nobody expects 70” in 4 weeks but one high end advisory event will do a lot for he mental health of this board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 You can already start to see on the OP runs how things could turn good later in January. Likely no more running in summer clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a quick look at the SST's and analog years and it's actually following a pattern of those years. It seems if any thing truely substancial happens it wont get really good until mid-late Jan into Feb that you guys have been alluding to. I can actually see it at this stage, the signal is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is way too far out for that. Only needs watching at this moment. Potential is there of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as pattern shifts we should get some chances for sure, they don't have to be 12"+ monsters like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I will have to admit that for the first time I am concerned about the EPS and continued delay to a good pattern. However Don and Isotherm and Ray are steadfast and they are more knowledgeable than I, so until something changes I will have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to admit that you take an overly optimistic view on every storm to produce snow. December has come and nearly gone with very little snow to show for it. Many places in SNE have less than an inch of snow this month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think after 1/7 is the “ok” look anyways. Rays idea of post 1/20 seems in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also very possible that most of the area sees nothing through mid Jan or later. The picture will become a lot clearer in 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It’s hard to believe we’ve still got 15-20 days of no snow in New England.
