Is that a product distribution or are we inferring that 'approximation' I'm asking because after front/wall snow burst... this thing's likely to be haulin' ass and I wonder if there's enough QPF for that much accretion - keeping in mind, the timing on change over is probably correct-able longer. ... which might mitigate further.

CoastalWx Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 10 minutes ago, Baroclinic Zone said: So you don't think having a snowpack would impact the surface track path at all or just minimally? Honestly no. The Synoptics are what really drives the bus. It’s january too where the lack of snowpack really won’t hurt that much. I suppose I can’t say it won’t have zero impact, but I honestly think no snowpack doesn’t hurt. I mean as snow falls and accumulates you are also adverting in colder air. So there is that.

bristolri_wx Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 24 minutes ago, Baroclinic Zone said: I'd side with your logic. There are a couple mitigating factors in my mind. There is the background "winter" that we have been having in SNE that's been warmer then normal and we also don't have any snowpack to speak of in SNE which would have helped facilitate the SLP sliding along that denseer cold. Are we really having a warmer than normal winter? We definitely have less snow, but I attribute that to $hit pattern/bad luck than above normal temps... I remember warmer winters where we have had more snow by this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonseminole Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 looks like EURO gives me about 8" of snow then hours of sleet.. then maybe an 1" to close it.. so maybe 8-10" is a good forecast for this area.. sticking with that from yesterday.

Secondly, the fact that we have had next to no snow, and nothing for over two months, is a nod in favor of more snow from here on out...all else being equal. Especially considering ENSO.. Finally, snowpack is nice, but a strong, ideally placed nascent +pp of arctic origin should also provide the requisite resistance to preclude inland tracks. Going in to today Bos was +3,5 for the month. And +2.6 for Dec. And as Eric Fisher pointed out there have been only 4 days since mid Jan last year that the temp has been under 30 for a high in Boston. It hasn't been exactly cold either.

It's warmer than normal so far, but not by a lot. ORH was +1.6 in December and is +1.7 so far in January (and that will fall considerably, below normal month is very likely) You are correct, the unfortunate chaos in the pattern has cost us the snow much more than temps.

The last 2 months(60 days) have averaged 0-2F above normal, so I'll concede that my point was not more concise when I said "warm". I meant relative to climo. I agree that we are at peak climo for snow for the next 30 days so you'd think that kicks in at some point. I'm just not sure this year is behaving like your typical weak ENSO state To the last point, I'm talking track deviations of 20-30 miles at most wrt to snow pack influences. Probably not even measurable to the impacts of the pressing high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cause is cyclical, or GW, there's definitely been a difference in the last 20 years, especially with the number bigger storms of 12+...

Yeah I guess I was asking and commenting simultaneously.. heh.. So it sound interpretive but it's probably obvious/not a hard interpretation. Got it. As to the accretion part of that... right - that's also mitigating. I just don't envy y'all that gotta go in front of hundreds of thousands of assholes that can't wait to point things out when things don't go right... during a scenario that is guaranteed not to for any number of them. good luck!

Of course this observation is anecdotal and judged by my location in RI... You would not be mistaken with that feel - it is empirical over about the last four decades to be just that. I believe the top five snowiest winters of all time have been sprayed along the last 30 years and most winters have been above the 100 years mean in that range.
