It’s definitely colder than modeled and it seems that no models ever gets the dynamic cooling and evaporative cooling. Remember when the precipitation moves in its going to start as snow flurries. If we get enough instability from the low pressure, building up about 100 south of Boston we could have a mostly mix to snow event. Regardless it’s going to be interesting. This could easily overachieve, or not. I agree 850s are very cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't apply to inland, but the morning flurries on LI implied by the NAM would basically be snizzle / junk snow on the low level southeast flow off the ocean. If correct, the boundary won't be dry enough for much evaporative cooling, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Wave Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 0z models continue to be unimpressive with the warmup. FV3 and CMC have a Monday-Tuesday event, while GFS extends to Wednesday. Monday is upper 30s-low 40s, Tuesday is low-mid 50s, and GFS has mid 50s again for Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Last 3 days of Jan. averaging 25degs., or 8degs. BN. Month to date is +1.3[33.7]. Should end Jan. at +0.4[32.8]. All 8 days are averaging 29degs., or 4degs. BN. EURO is 1" of Snow for the next 10 days. GEFS is 50/50 chance of at least 7" of Snow by Feb. 14.

Not blockbusters but snow events. If we throw out the November storm what we have seen this winter is unprecedentedly bad. I still think the warmup is is much more muted then modeled and we do see a few snow events at the coast before we throw in the towel for good the 80s were also 4-5 degrees colder lol, we averaged in the teens for snowfall so we definitely should get somewhere around there and possibly into the 20-25 inch range if we get that one big snowfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check out the early 90s, 90-91 and 91-92. Part of the same climate group. Average snowfall during the 80s was the least ever and I believe the 70s was the second least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 07-08 winter also managed to sneak one in on 2-22. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSOKX&e=201201212209 https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSOKX&e=200802222244 Yes even our worst winters have those, even if its pre or post winter. The question is, do we count Nov 15th as that one event lol? In 1997-98 we had our one event after winter officially ended with 5.0" During official winter we only had 0.5" When was our one decent snowfall in 2001-02? How much was that? Since I can remember, our less than double digit seasons (1997-98, 2001-02, 2011-12) all had one event in the 3-5 inch realm. Our worst seasons didn't have any 6 inch snowfalls- and there were quite a few of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a family member who believes in this assumption. We have been incredibly fortunate coming off a string of above normal winters. We were due for a bad one at some point. If anything climate change has been increasing snowfalls here while lowering them across the DC area, this was expected. During the 80s our temps were 4-5 degrees lower while snowfall was half of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during the winter portion of the 01-02 snowfall season we had a 3-6 event across the area on January 19th. It was the 6th warmest January on record at nearly 40 degrees and over +7. That was a classic example of sneaking in a snow in an unfavorable pattern. The February 2017 snowstorm in a one of the warmest Februarues was an even better snowstorm in a challenging pattern. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSOKX&e=200201202135 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 They should have issued a Salt Storm warning yesterday. I got caught in a Heavy Salt Storm late last night coming home from Oceanside. Nothing on Long Island then once I hit the Queens side of the Cross Island, I see about an inch of salt on the road then I had an unfortunate clash with the salt truck that laid down the salt so I went through a Saltout as I neared it and immediately pulled back as it pelted my car at an alarming rate and stayed back until my exit neared. Seriously, WTF is wrong with them? Between everybody flooding the supermarkets 2 weeks ago for the impending rainstorm as if the apocalypse was upon us and these salt demons the last few months, I feel like society has gone mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
