I can understand your issues with them.
 

I don’t mind them at all actually.  I’ve done really well here with them in the past...some of the biggest for me have been B’s.  I know you’re more west than I, and sometimes that’s the just the difference between a big hit and something more moderate.  And sometimes everybody west of Windham sucks exhaust. 
 

Obviously Jan/Feb ‘15 wasn’t as favorable here as it could have been...but that’s part of the gamble with those.  All of Jan ‘11 and Feb 13 were huge hits here with those B’s.  So I’ll gladly take my Chances where I am with them any day. 

Obviously, it happens, but even Feb 13 was razor thin for WCT. Danbury was like the western extent of the goods. This pattern is different though with some ridging up north so we could be better off if somethinf breaks right. 

Regardless, lets keep it active with cold nearby. Play with fire and roll the dice.

It’s been doing that but then congeals again. It’s not a true split really yet. People get too excited.

I've been noticing .. more so, the warm node up near the EPO domain there in the N-NE Pacific Basin ... 

It "looks" like a La Nina vestige/or artifact ...but, of course, then I have to concede to the La Nina as actually having an influence on the global circulation - to which ...I am not sure it is... The flow is/has been too erratic..  I think the HC expansion is controlling that more so, and the La Nina? The former circumstance is mimicry if you will.. Or, is being absorbed inside ...and since few seem aware or willing to admit/understand the HC expansion's effects on modulating/changing the Global eddy... they are simply unaware - yeah.. a bit if hypothesis that rolls eyes ...understood.  But the HC stuff is not mine?  NO - it's documented, scienced and papered... I don't see how we can expand the tropical/sub-tropical band over top the termination latitudes of wave dispersion without effecting that model...  It's bad math -

But that aside, it seems said warm arcing ridge presentation is a tropopause or lower stratospheric "echo" of a very high latitude curved jet over the Pacific ... more so than any PV break-down ??   ... 

The splitting vortex phenomenon is really not typically in that axis ...rotate that 90 degs.. That's sort of clue too -

I'm almost willing to bet we could find this flipping into a mad -EPO at some point ...like topping a dam - Lol... if that happens no one Tweets about every little nuanced perturbation in the PV in an attempt to signal a good winter -

i hopes folks here are right, I remember last year allot of folks kept saying it would happen and it never materialized, so call me skeptical until we are 24 hrs out.

Yea, I don't buy the PV split, or displacement...I think we keep seeing enough perturbations for fun, and then it eventually starts to recover next month.

Not like last year, but it should strengthen eventually.

I would not be expecting a true PV split.

Having it take some punches though is good...it is helping keep that blocking up there longer. If you recall, the models for a few days broke down the blocking very quickly and there were some minor freakouts in here about pig patterns returning. The PV will probably congeal back together again, so I don't expect January 2011 blocking. But every little bit helps.

I don't think this is a set up where you would whiff, since we have some NAO to slow things down a tad...probably just won't JP...but lets get the storm within a week first.

 I know I joke about my disdain for Miller B’s but depending on where secondary forms we can do ok in NW MA.

December 2000 was the most west Miller b I can think of with Western NJ jackpots

Yep, I see the warming on that side too. I'm glad to see it warp and displace a little. There is a brief split, but it comes back so to me....I don't see it as a true split. Just good to see it knocked around like Will said.

Some day, the years of Miller A’s and powder keg clippers will return but until then, WNE weenies wait and watch those to the N & E cash in. 

No more clippers because the Hadley Cell is expanding. Not because Tip says so, but because it's written that it is. If you do get a clipper, it's not a clipper, but just a modest snow appeal mimicking a clipper.

Pretty much all unforecast and unmodeled snow here this week.

3 days of continuous light snow eventually adds up. Norman Rockwell has nothing on the scene in town right now.

I thought each day had a chance? I know you had that rogue band the other day. Cold air aloft, but thicknesses not brutal mean moisture in the air and the mtns squeeze it out. You won't have these when it's -30C at 850.
