The discuss the perfect set up for cross polar air die to a +PNA and Greenland block supercharging the air as the PV drops to the northern Great Lakes! They state this will have lasting power through the foreseeable future too!!! Elaborate then why the next 3 systems after that all cut west of us giving us rain instead of snow?!?!?! They dont mention a greenland block. They use the term ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinksnow18 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Ok yes it says ridge, however it does say cross polar flow, staying power etc...how is all that possible when the models all show cutters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I am not really seeing all these cutters in the LR lol 6z GFS had one like 260 hrs out lol GFS para had none . And the euro looked pretty darn good over the next 10 days, minus whatever slop we see Wednesday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross polar flow via an -epo (alaska) block doesnt necessarily stop cutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6z showed the LP for next week Tuesday which has been touted as an area to watch for significant snow potential suddenly shifted north of the CWA and we get rain...the 2 others after are also rain snow mixes...sadly everything between seems to get very cold but dry. Something to watch for sure. I see in wolfies post above the euro still has this opportunity...hopefully it's right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured with the PV so close to is that all systems out of Canada would be shunted far south and we'd end up frigid and dry...however the exact opposite seems to be occurring. I guess my rub is it can't be both ways, can it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just now, OSUmetstud said: Yeah. Youre wrong. I'll say two things. One I will be uncharacteristically emotional about the next two weeks because I have a very long and very expensive snowboarding trip booked from February 2nd through February 10th in the 'dacks and vermont; and right now the long range is simply not looking good. You can't dispute that there are rainstorms on the long range and to be honest the long range forecasts have been very consistent and solid so far this year. Most storms that appear at day 10 more or less pan out. Two, why exactly am I wrong? Give me some hope because all I see is a progressive pattern that fails to lock in any cold for the Northeast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. It amazes me someone can look at the pattern being progged and assume rainstorm after rainstorm for two weeks. Enjoy being emotional. Didnt you give up on the last storm a day or two beforehand? The one that gave you almost 18 inches? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 "Lol. It amazes me someone can look at the pattern being progged and assume rainstorm after rainstorm for two weeks. Enjoy being emotional. Didnt you give up on the last storm a day or two beforehand? The one that gave you almost 18 inches?" This is a new and interesting side of you.....way to be a dick. I certainly did not give up on the last system but when half the models were caving towards a southern solution for a couple days I certainly was disheartened just like the rest of us. To be honest, I called for 12 inches in Rochester MANY days in advance and guess how many inches Rochester got, 12 inches on the ****ing money! (Don't believe the airports notoriously bogus ASOS, it always comes in high) My Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse numbers were damn near spot on. I never once bought into the hype of the Kuchera clown maps. I expected it to be a decent storm and maintained course for the most part. And aside from some isolated locations on the South shore, the lake response was anemic at best. I got a whopping 3 inches of Lake effect in 36 hours which was more or less exactly what I foresaw. All I can do is look at model outputs and I don't see a great pattern ahead, I see 4 rain chances in the next 384 hours. Wouldn't it be nice and more normal to see zero rain chances during what should be the coldest stretch of the season? Getting rain two days after being subzero is not a good pattern to be in. I hope I'm wrong and look like a fool, that would be the best possible outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Great sunrise today! Anyone else catch it? If I wasn’t running late to work I would have pulled over somewhere for a better picture... you know what they say about red sky at sunrise....
