Nice Quagmire worthy 6Z run. 

I don't think there is any support for it though

Just curious, how did you arrive at there is no support for the op run? Do you check the ens means first, then see if the op run pops anything? There is an extremely strong signal for something around the middle of the month tbf.

There is support for a storm on the other models.  Whether we get what the GFS is putting out is something else.

500 MB on the EPS and GEFS screams thump to ice/rain imo but obviously a wide range of outcomes possible at this range. With the west based NAO block showing up in that timeframe, any storm is going to have difficulty cutting to our west.

That 14-16th threat has teleconnection support too...

As me and Steve have been saying, many of our big ones historically come on the rebound of long duration -AO/-NAO/+PNA patterns but it still requires the right timing. I'm liking the long range threat though, definitely something to start tracking.

Several of our climate stations that did not see temperatures above freezing continue to be on track to set a record streak of days below freezing (day #12 today) which would be day #17 on Monday the 9th. The next 2 days look to be our relative mildest with highs in the upper 20's to near 30. An arctic front arrives on Friday which may kick off snow squalls and snow showers that may result in some minor accumulations by Saturday morning. Behind the front the weekend looks frigid once again. We may again have a chance to see temperatures near or above freezing by next Tuesday. In looking ahead, we can't really see any meaningful breaks from what our to date significantly colder than normal winter. Plus, snow chances look to increase toward the Valentines/Presidents day weekend.

Cecily going kinda warm middle of the month (Valentines day). She's ruining everyone's mojo...

Sorry for the confusion. It was my weenie instincts taking over on a solid OP run this morning. 

 

I can't read the ENS runs as well as others so I lean on the OP model runs. I was wondering if the other model OP runs would verify like the GFS did as showing a true winter storm. The signal is definitely there as there will be "a" storm. Just don't know what else will be involved yet as it is a way away. 

 

All that being said. 12Z runs have a, or the storm in that time frame again. GFS kicks it right as it did with last weekend's event, and the CMC has a potential MECS brewing at the end of its OP run.  

 

...and the Euro just said 'Hello gorgeous!" 

 

Carry on!

Why aren't we jumping on chairs, shouting, screaming about our Friday mini blizzard which may add a inch, wind and a little thrill as the cold air arrives? I'm damn pumped for that one along w/the Superbowl...

Because the squall comes through between 3 and 6am Saturday morning

The one good impressive squall we had this winter passed through at 4:30am lol

The weather doesn't want us to see good snow

I think you may be incorrect about the squall timing...looks like mid-later afternoon, evening hours?

Long way out there, but it seems like models are hinting at two potential storm chances coming up: 2/11 and 2/15. Depending on how strong the first wave gets, it could dampen the flow and cause 2/15 to stay suppressed (ala 12z Euro AIFS). Everything will also depend on how strong the confluence holds across New England/southern Canada. Just first look seems like a SWFE would be favored with thump to ice/rain. Expect lots of changes until then
