you think you could never appreciate a 105/83 heat dome and then you get an entire month of this miserable bullshit and it’s like, yeah it was equally unlivable outside but at least every surface wasn’t either salt or ice on top of things

Naw the skiing has been absolutely incredible. Plus layers work well. Can’t exactly be naked when it is 105/83. A certain someone on this board might loc you up…

I've been out xc skiing 3 days this week chasing daylight.  It kinda sucks here with the crust, but it's better than not skiing.

Temp is 11⁰ here now, but we still have the wind.

I’m getting there. Cold and dry fucking sucks. Probably 4 weeks away from our first 60. 6 weeks from first 70. We aren’t far away 

Yep wasted cold without any storms to track is the worst. And this generally looks like a suppressed to hell pattern. Maybe we get lucky with a clipper or two to refresh the snowpack.

GFS with back to back storms out of the gulf at the end of the run, the first one looking like a repeat of this weekend.  Would be nice if one of them turned the corner and made it all the way up.

The northern stream flow has to relax and go more west to east and also the arctic air can't be all the way down to Georgia - these suppress the entire pattern - the models lately have been terrible because of a lack of data ( weather balloons etc out west ) BECAUSE OF CLOSED NWS OFFICES apparently.

Yes don’t look good for us up here if gfs is correct, I’d change my outlook to this winter as a complete failure if this verifies  Gfs has 60 inches of snow down south through end of the run…. 6 inches here lol

Unfortunately  a lot of Mets are starting to see the suppressed pattern and it’s really within the next 2 weeks. Hopefully we capitalize on something, our best bet might be hoping a clipper blows up into a miller b

apparently you didn't look at the 06 GFS - how in the world can you call this winter a "complete failure" ?????? regardless of what happens the rest of the way .

as you get deeper into February those large southern snowstorms become less likely everyday - NYC is now at just over 21 inches 2/3rd through MET winter just need an average February snowfall total a couple inches after that to reach normal - thats all that one can reasonably expect - anything more is icing on the cake........

As cold and as wintry as it’s been remember Central Park still needs 12ish inches just to hit its average snowfall

The normal is not 33 inches its a few inches less

It doesn’t start to get hostile for snow here until 2/21. “Prime” snow season for our area is 12/20 - 2/20

February 21 is still early. Try late March. 

It does not take until the end of March to start to get hostile for big NYC snowstorms. Look at climo. Once you get to 2/21, the number of big snowstorms in NYC starts a pronounced drop off. Once you get to 3/1, the number really starts to drop off. I’m not saying it can’t snow, that would be ridiculous, but the number of big snowstorms in NYC absolutely starts dropping on 2/21 and it starts dropping off even more rapidly on 3/1

Pattern is cold with staunch 5H blocking ne Canada and snowcover preserving the cold for another 3 weeks, I think.

How much snow? Maybe not much til after 2/10, but tracking multitude of northern stream vorts will determine til then.

After 1/9, appears there is broad WAA (5H height rises) central USA progressing east, overrunning a pretty decent cold dome here. Am aware CP did not drop below 10 this morning... and so far 9 for the season.

GEPS/EPS have a bit of a hostile period where the SER connects to the block but it does not seem to last long.  GEFS does not have it at all or its briefer.  I think we probably hit or exceed normal snows before its all over though

I’m at 29-30” here and average is low to mid 30s. Confident we get to that number and probably over 40”.
