GFS def looks interesting for Tuesday. Too suppressed for Sunday except maybe some light snow of the C-1" variety (more for the upslope fetish locations)

Interesting?  Maybe for C/NNE verbatim.  Primary pretty far west over the GL.  With another SLP off southerast coast, there is only so far this can diggity dig.

I've entered the acceptance stage of this winter and whatever happens, happens. 

I just can't believe raindancewx's winter forecast is turning out to be true. 

We have a long way to go yet....but if by Mid to late March and nothing has happened in the snow dept.....then I think everybody will have to give Raindancewx Kudo's for an incredible call when all were exactly the opposite.  But there's a lot of Winter season left to go..no spiking Yet.

We are 3 days into the period during which I said that winter would begin in earnest, and most of sne had a decent snowstorm on the first day.

Absurd. He would have to look good at this point for me to verify.

BOS has been mini BTV lately. I feel like at times it runs a tick or two warm. HFD is +0.4. PVD -0.2, and BOS +1.5.   That's a little too much of a difference for me.

idk about PVD, but that last cold shot was definitely more centered toward WNE/BDL. CON is +1.0 and PWM +0.6. Not a lot of rhyme or reason to the departures so far this month. IF there isn't a gradient, usually we'll see the rad spots with similar departures and the more mixed sites with similar departures.

I forget exactly what his forecast was, I think he used the 94/95 and 06/07 analogs.

I guess we differ on what constitutes interesting. I'm not looking for verbatim snow maps that show us jackpotting. But I see a shortwave approaching us from the southwest with a good high in place. GFS doesn't quite squeeze everything under us like the GGEM does but I would still consider that interesting.

As I said..long way to go here.  I Agree with Ray that he would be looking good at this point, but we are nowhere close to even thinking about spiking the ball on Winter Forecasts on Jan 23rd.

I’ve noticed this for a little while now. I can understand a half degree or a little

more difference, but that’s sort of pushing  it. Just something to watch.

By mid to late March? If by mid FEB we have nothing....then it’s time to take Ray to the woodshed and handcuff him face down.

Very true, the pattern going forward doesn't look too bad. 

Think something could pop in a couple days.

I didn't look at a single snow map.  Just looked at the 500mb and SLP maps.  My concern is the PV is way up in Hudson Bay so I don't see much mechanism to get this to dig further S.

Perhaps the Good High can press it down a bit more, and have it dig a little further south????

Well, if you really wanna play the a$$ game....it started snowing on the day that I said it would start snowing.

Sorry you missed out-

:flood::lol:

Dude, be envious of the fact that i am possibly hitting 8inches of liquid this month...quite the feat for a January

Diane would have hated 10/11. Gradient was about where it is now in Kingston/Duxbury area. N and W of there was crushed. On the other hand, in 11/12, you guys got 9-12" in a Jan event that gave me 4" of sand. So you got the best of us there. Go figure. I still think when all is said and done, you'll get a good one there.

Until that compressed flow relaxes and we see a more favorable area of ridging (pacific or Atlantic )we are highly favored to anticipate crap. This should be very very very obvious by now 

now when you have such EXCEPTIONAL wet pattern and score 1 out of 10 systems you see 1 or 2 snow storms by dumb luck in a pattern with destructive compressed zonal flow and a stubborn area of tropical forcing that is good for cutters when anything comes in amped . 

What was not anticipated was this stubborn area of tropical forcing and ridging not changing to something more favorable by now .

Until this changes, we should anticipate crap . When the pacific or Atlantic looks good then we anticipate things going our way until then it seems brain dead to bang our heads against the wall. We have had 10–12 storms from November to now . 90% Rain

 

we have had at least 6-8 advisory looking systems go poof, this is not dumb luck . It’s the pattern.
