January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

Recommended Posts

The conversation is manageable now in the main thread, but I think we actually should start a storm thread tomorrow  if it still looks like a viable threat between the 15th and 19th.  This would separate the discussion into what might be happening in the short term and then also in the post January 20 period which is interesting in itself

Def escaped torch everywhere in the northeast . Just a week of slightly AN 

More than slightly.  40s for you are +10 for a high.  But certainly well below January thaw levels which when I conjure in my mind I think 55+

Between that and the July 66 manning the hot grill which was worse?

7/3/66 takes (bakes?) the cake.  The coil thermometer at the end of the counter, 10-12 feet from the grill, reached about 140 - scale only reached 120 and the needle was well beyond that line.  I'm better off NOT knowing how hot it next to the grill.  :D
In 1977 I could climb down to the 1st floor in 20 seconds.  In 1966 I was behind the counter all day.  Closing time was 8 PM but people were still pouring in 15 minutes later, so I went on the loudspeaker to say we were closed but would serve all who were already inside the lodge.  (Got a bit of flack from the park supervisor but he soon understood.)
At that time, I'd never had a cup of hot coffee despite brewing the stuff in the 50-cup urn.  Ice tea demand went up and down with the temp; coffee demand went up and down by how many people came thru the gate.  Could not understand then but later learned the joy of hot coffee in all weather.

the +PNA ridge in and of itself argues for a coastal... that's 2.5 sigma over ID, nearly ideal

Also useful to point out that the bulging into Manitoba is really critical there.  That axial location near Frisco is traditionally too far west, but the idiosyncrasy of that arm rotating S on the heals of the 'Lakes trough is completing the wave space's couplet ...which transitively is favorable for maintaining amplitude that far E of the "real" ridge axis.  

Synoptic interpretation is a lot harder than folks realize.  Just seeing where ridges and troughs are isn't the half of it.

absolutely, allows that NS piece over the Lakes to come in at a good angle... that's why the GFS is as amped as it is

If AN seasons are working their back to us (like I think they are) then these are the types of “wins” in the mid range we need in order to get there. 

These are also the types of wins we’d get in the 2010s constantly. Trends that helped us so often in the medium range instead of trending to crap. But when you’re going cold like we’ve been, very few of these work out.

wow...this is going to be a long duration nor'easter with probably upper tier impact scenarios in that solution... it's only 120 hrs and already moderate to hvy snow is exploded from DCA BOS and the lows about to get captured still ... 

may be a season definer ... as is, in this depiction, it would be for the DCA-PHL crew

Oh that's interesting... okay, little tamer thereafter... 

It appears the b-c axis may be disconnected from this deep layer evolution.  Probably too far E frankly... mm, I think that recovers faster with the native g-string and all that.  It's just fuzzy in the model at this range - probably.

Got a bit squashed this run. This is prob the type of system that wont be that stable until we’re inside 100 hours. It’s an imperfect setup with a bunch of moving parts…why it’s still somewhat of a longshot to deliver big snows (not talking a 1-3/2-4 type deal)
