He’ll freezing over apparently … cuz -3 SD NAO under a -4 SD AO is somehow not enough 

Was just wondering lol . Most runs of that system (wether they were more surpressed or amped ) have a notable surge of moisture coming in off the ocean just as The precip envelope from the system cutting East across Pennsylvania starts to spread its precip shield over us . I assumed that west warm moving surge of light precip from the East (distant ocean storm or whatever) was also responsible for maybe torching the BL

Don't believe it myself. When was the last time you saw a 518 5h at the BM produce rain inland SNE

Maybe a couple years ago in March , when we had 34 degree rain , nor’easter and deep easterly flow and it snowed along western SNE border and hammered Catskills , and we had like .5-1c 850’s and a bit of a torched BL

The 1.7 on 12/8 looks good. No idea where the 8.5 on 12/7 came from.

I think he is confusing the 8.5” from 2019. Cuz 2020 was a pretty big one. And last year(21) had just that small couple inches. There definitely wasn’t 8.5 last December.

Probably 2019.

Ya that’s what I think.

:yikes: 

Thanks guys. I think I found the error. It’s on the New England snow site but not my personal data sheet—and the personal sheet has 8.5” on 1/7/22. My note says that was a coastal that significantly overperformed in CT.

I suspect this will be a theme in the future 

FYI gents and gals I started a more focused thread re 13.14.15 … I did pay homage to 9.10 

I think 9.10. is one or the other, with regard to cold air… If the surge comes in from the east and it’s cold enough for that to be oes and grits and so forth the storm is probably going south.

In all seriousness. There are going to be multiple shots at something as has been mentioned previously. 

That's hideous verbatim for my hood. I mean, if that were to actually play out, with Virginia Beach and Martha's Vineyard getting a foot while I get a nice mule kick in the nards, I'd just have to accept that there is a god and he hates me. Thankfully it'll be totally different next run.

He and Scooter think they aren’t on the water . It’s a totally different world down and out there .

Gotta agree with Kev here, as much as it pains me

Yea Tblizz is like 20 miles to Narry Bay 30 to ATLANTIC and 30 to Buzzards just swallowed by Marine. Kev is 40 plus miles from the sound and 50 from the Atlantic 

I definitely don’t live on the water. We can easily escape marine influence here in a lot of events.

 

Kevin is obviously further inland than I am, but he’s acting as if it’s a night and day difference, it is not.

Beer is Beer though, so it is what it is.

Difference between coastal and “immediate coast.” I live about 10-15 miles inland from the ocean down here in NJ, but I currently have 26 on my Tempest relative to the ~40 it looks like the immediate shoreline has. 

Doesn’t help if the storm track is far inland only, but I do well often when the immediate coast is rain. It does seem to make a difference.

To everyone worried about thermals, I wouldn’t worry about it as long as the low location is good and the low is really strong. The low can create its own cold air, I’ve had people tell me this doesn’t happen but I’ve seen storms where it works out. March 7th 2018 was heavy rain for several hours where I live, but the low bombed out and dynamically cooled the column. The initial airmass sucked, but due to the low creating it’s own cold air via dynamical cooling I ended up getting around 8 inches of snow, with areas NW getting nearly 2 feet. That is what we will be relying on for the first threat. It’s low probability it will strengthen enough to create enough cold air to give significant snow, but I wouldn’t rule it out. The second and third threats have a better shot.

I have no idea how this blocking/storm situation will shake out and hopefully everyone enjoys something out of it, but early/mid Dec is way different from early March WRT marine influence near the coast. Water temp down here is still at 50 and Boston Harbor is at 47. March can be 8-10 degrees colder. It's very difficult to get a heavy all snow event near the coast this time of year and winds are onshore. Early March is way easier since the waters are still cold from the winter. If you can get even 10-15 miles of land to cool down the onshore flow it can make all the difference. Even here on LI from the LI Sound there can be a crazy microclimate where immediately on the LI Sound beaches there is a rain/snow mix or nonaccumulating snow but 2-3 miles inland heavy accumulating snow this time of year when there's a NE or ENE wind. There are numerous early Dec storms where near the NJ shore there is little accumulation and the temps there are stuck in the upper 30s/40s but not far inland west of the coastal front, way higher accums. But if winds can stay offshore and heavy snow, different story.

That’s a good point, climo is more hostile now than it is in early March especially for the coast. Even my area which isn’t right on the coast has done a lot better in March than December lately. December climo isn’t favorable to begin with but It feels like climate change has made it even less favorable. The warming oceans is a double edged sword, it can help storms bomb out and give crazy amounts of snow if the airmass is cold enough, but when the airmass is marginal it makes it a lot harder, even a bit of onshore winds and the coast is cooked.
