snowmagnet Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I’m feeling good about getting a big snow storm in the next couple of weeks. We’ve seen hints about a potential storm around the 24th and the 27th-30th for a while now. As others have noted, the lack of consensus in ensembles and ops clearly shows that the models can’t figure out all the moving parts. It’s pretty infuriating that the midweek thing will likely be rain, but I’m optimistic about the 28th. And it’s not a weekend! That would be a nice change of pace!

And until I see otherwise, I'm not expecting anything. Say what you want about the GFS but once it locks down on the 5 day period, it's very consistent and more often than not, pretty accurate. Who knows, maybe something will magically appear by tomorrow or Wednesday but I'm not holding my breath. Hell, I'd love to have a winter of nothing but energized Clipper systems. At least you know they'll be snow. GFS has been pretty poor this winter so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking winter storms so far, FV3 seems to consistenly be closer with R/S line and strength of storm. Haven’t taken notes, so just a general observation. 12/9 GFS missed pretty badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This pattern of extreme bone chilling cold followed by just mild enough for plentiful rain, it reminds me of early 2015 in Dale City. It will change though and the Mid Atlantic will have lots of snow and cold. Give it a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cold now. But until the NAO or AO goes negative each cold shot is likely to retreat as the next wave goes to our west. Some keep making the mistake of thinking that “the next cold shot is the one to hit and hold” but truth is none will until we get blocking.

But it’s not the kind of thing that works often or will stick on guidance from range. What made 2014 and 2015 so odd was that setup did work so often.

It’s probably what, the third time we have seen it at this range? The follow up wave idea that is. Fools gold at range but it’s nice too look at for the time being.
