That's a...

18Z GFS still has the snow for Wed into Thurs.

Then it's a 2018-2019 trademark massive cutter for the weekend.  What exactly do we need for that threat not to cut?

That's not a cutter. It's the typical re-developer that we've had going across ern/se areas. Interior snow to ice.

yeah, I was just commenting on that ... looked like white rain in the ORH hills and a pounding for the Monads ... but yeah close enough.   I thought there was "hope" there -

And who knows if that is the final result. It's certainly not a high confidence call and probably is dependent on Wed-Thurs too. We can't even get some agreement on that.

That's a good point actually .. That Wed/Thur thing with more important backside NVA obviously might change the llv PP which that latter situ has some sensitivity due to such a fast flow not really giving the BL 'nough time to real rot/modify... 

lotta moving parts

Theme of the season and it won’t change.

I'm no Met obviously and my knowledge is like the Earth in the Universe compared to you but I just consider any low pressure center that goes to the west of NE into the Great Lakes and then Canada a cutter, even the ones that develop a secondary off the coast because by the time those have got going this winter, it was too late every time. 

The lack of blocking and super fast flow has ruined this month in term of a big coastal, among other parameters

The 18z GFS has every event the same out to 384 hours...some form of a primary way west and a redeveloping low near the coast or SNE.  Amazingly consistent.

Our classic "cutters" are those strong lows that shoot through the ern great lakes or NY state. Those do not have a redeveloper and offer little if any winter wx in SNE. What the GFS shows is similar to what we have had this winter.

no thread for northern new england on this event?

It doesn't seem like anything exciting. A few inches of snow then some mixed precip. My downslope prone locale might not even see that.  Only decent thing seems to be the potential for upslope after the storm but I think only 3 of us on here care about that

Which is garbage for SNE.    :weep:

Its semantics. What he is essentially telling you as that the it will be cold before and after it rains...and you may steal a couple of inches of snow and sleet as the cold vacates near the onset.

Rinse/repeat.

We are resigned to this for the rest of the season.

I said the same thing, more or less.

Our only shot for a big ticket is to have something cut off in the right spot once the wave lengths shorten later in March and into April, which is always a possibility every season, but never a probability.

The PNA that could never get it up this winter...

Example using multi-run comparison of Mar 2 that had once looked more favorable... we have been chasing this disappearing mirage multiple times beginning mid-January:

That is the problem this season....the EPO just means we will have a cold supply. But we need either a PNA or an NAO, or else we get this season....granted they could have been snowier than they have, but those are the breaks.

2005 and 2015 had the PNA ridging....1969 had the NAO blocking.

This season is what we risk when you have neither.

2008 is what happens when you have neither and luck out.

This season happens when you have neither and do not luck out.

That is what I missed this season.....I was all over the meager, 1969 like MEI, but I never thought the blocking would be a no-show. I think the SSW really messed that up.

I also should have hit the meager MEI/RNA angle a la 1969 harder than I did....I ended up factoring it in, especially with the call for December, but I ultimately went with a mean of the analog years later in the season, which entailed a PNA becoming prevalent.

It would have taken balls to go all out 1969, and I tried to play it safe.

The SSW I just missed....probably should have known better with the cited Noive Scandinavian blocking.

I think we really need to work on forecasting where SSW will be focused, after seeing how they can manifest as deconstructive interference to blocking in the event that they augment a hostile intraseasonal MJO signal.
