January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

[SouthCoastMA]

The 20th would have a colder antecedent airmass, so that would be preferable over the 18th anyway. 

Not that we have the luxury of preferences.

95/100 times that would not happen. RIP James. He started an epic period. 

That epic pattern was locked in for weeks. No one saw the intensity but many of us knew it was about as good as it gets modeling wise. The Jan 15 thread shows that

I legit laughed at this. I love the defense of this winter when pictures of a rural access road in far northern Maine has a foot of snow on it. Like wow, I had no idea, I’m totally sold, this winter rules 

A long way from far northern Maine here, but snowfall/pack season-to-date are very close to average.  My lament is the continued mega-meh that we've had for the past 20 months.

This month's temps have been Jekyll-Hyde so far - first 6 days were 9.7 BN, 7-12 have been 10.3 AN.  Today-tomorrow will run +15-20 before things cool down to only 5° AN.

It would do wonders to lift board spirit if you did the name-change.

I like this idea.... Since you suggested it, I think you should start.... 69/69 Bendover. ......

Go!!!

This quiescence of this winter is highly synonymous with the Sox offense.....but I'm sure there will be a flurry of activity right as Spring training begins with regard to both.

I think it will take a collective group name change all at once to flip our luck..

There is a better chance I have another very close encounter with a gustnado than the Red Sox doing anything major on the offensive addition front

Don't think I need to touch your's....how prescient of you with regard to your name selection.

IDK...I could see them making a few moves, maybe even several.

If they are serious about improving from last year and beefing up the offense they really have no choice but to do so. I'm sure Breslow is refining his code to find out which trades he should seek

[Spanks45]

Gfs, classic run summing up the last 4 years....cold, cold, cold only to warm up and rain.

What the most interesting out of the entire synoptic landscape over the next 7-9 days is that we see this mean trough in an almost ideal spot over the eastern third of the CONUS with multiple shortwaves that dive into that mean trough and we fail to get a single decent QPF event out of it. It’s almost the anti-2015….surgical precision of somehow not producing.

But as you know, the next 7 to 9 days haven’t played out yet

Come in here this morning and had to read several pages of grab ass. A couple is acceptable,  even a few, but this is excessive...

[kdxken]

How about a couple more months of todays and we call it a winter?

So reminiscent of the 80’s BS.  Most times it was just that…find every way not to snow.  And succeed more often than not. 40 years later here we are again.

Unlikely we get anything of note. I’ll still hold out a little hope for 1/18-1/19 but we need some good trends on that over the next day or two.

12z gfs is one of the ugliest op runs I’ve ever seen.

So you’re writing off the next 9 days, today?  I’m surprised.
