TwcMan Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I believe a favorable pacific pattern is more important to have in our favor over a favorable Atlantic. You can still snow with a +NAO but it’s much more difficult to snow with a +EPO/-PNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some possibilities, but I want to see how the pattern begins to work out.

As it's been all season, I'm not the least bit interested in any significant snow threat here until the roaring zonal Pacific jet slows down and we see sustained ridging in the West. Then maybe we could at least luck out with a well timed and placed system that can track favorably for us. With the Pacific jet the way it is, we're destined for either cutters and transient cold, or lousy suppressed to garbage storms. The Atlantic looks to be little or no help either, with weak assistance from the NAO at best. The post day 7 storms will continue to be mirages until that changes. A 1-3/2-4" type event is possible, but even that hasn't happened near the coast whatsoever. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a strong feeling this winter you'll need everything to line up otherwise it'll continue to be a thread the needle pattern. without the -NAO you'll see coastal huggers or suppression without a favorable pacific you'll see cutters or suppression.

Our only storm track options since the fall have been cutter, hugger, and suppressed southern stream. We really got lucky in November. That hugger ran into the Arctic high over the Maritimes and dumped the record early snows. If it wasn’t for that storm, we would be near 1” on the season so far.

It was reminiscent of February, 2012 I hope so, let this disaster of a winter burn and have it take all those snowy forecasts with them. Nothing this winter reminded me of a Nino, at best it was a Nina hybrid and now Feb looks like a full Nina. It's been the most unusual winter I've ever seen. I don't think it fits into any analog group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
