Storm Speculation Thread - Saturday 25 Jan 2014

Snow for the Catskills?

I loathe weather-whores.

The internet age has made it more about hype, webhits and increased webtraffic to generate advertising dollars (SEE: TWC naming winter storms).

I think the Monday storm is tracking much further north than yesterdays. Obviously a lot can change between now and then. Accuweather is trying to hype another storm that could hit the I 95 corridor!

I havent looked at Monday at all, havent even ran a single model, but it's not looking good according to one of the many folks I follow.

On Monday, the pattern may support some digging and some enhancement to a system them. Unlike last night's storm, though, the Monday system will take a more southerly track and will be starved for moisture. While several inches of snow could fall, especially over Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey, the snow should dodge northern New England again.

EDIT: And another.

a new severe arctic front drops into Plains / Midwest reaches East coast JAN 27-28 . The HIGH drops into OK and TX.... and some sort of Low forms over the se coast. The Low appears to clip eastern NC and se VA with snow but misses the most of the Middle Atlantic and New England. AS a general rule with the HIGH over OK / Delta that is NOT good sign for Northeast snowstorms

Yep, more snow in part of Delaware and Virginia than in my yard in Northern VT. I'm currently at 5" at my stake and that is only due to the 6.5" of super fluff that fell this weekend. That stuff will last 5 seconds if the temp gets above freezing. I'm currently taking bets on whether my stake makes it over 12" total depth (and remains there for at least 24 hrs) this winter.

I've actually been hearing the opposite. According to Amerixanwx, this storm looks great for northern New England.

Ya know what? I'm going through withdrawal. I'm just going to get out there this weekend and go ski somewhere dammit. Once you've wasted a day whining, your never gonna get it back. (full disclosure, I'm a no-snow-whiner). Just do it...

Yeah, they get more hits that way. I'm praying for it going north. Win-win. Still a ways off and according to NOAA the models are all over the place.

GFS going northwest on Monday

I like the possibility of another pattern change end of next week according to GFS. Big cold lets up so it seems but not too much. This is better for NNE than SNE.

More than the 12z? And what's the pcp? The 12z wasnt very impressive.

All I know is it's colder than a witches tit outside now.

lol.... I can reply to that in so many cynical ways.

I'm pumped.... going take tomorrow off and hit the moguls.

some seriously DRY air and a rapid pace are working against this weekends clipper being a big producer. In the big scheme of things right now, this relatively active looking cold air/clipper pattern we're in could be just what we need to get the natural trails and trees back into play. Just get each one to put down a few inches and it will be game on again soon. Just don't see the big major storm on the near horizon now, but a bunch of smaller ones will suffice and the fact that they seem to be lining up every 3 to 5 days or so isn't a bad thing either!

 

[jrmagic]

True, but there's also the potential for snow the rest of the winter as well :wink:

They might as well put up a map in the summer that says "potential for snow on Christmas day in the north east!" 6 days is a long time and knowing these clipper systems, the tracks shift a ton this far out. No need spreading hype... Yet

NY Metro TV is already mentioning the possibility of a big storm around the Superbowl. Isn't hyperbole wonderful? Lol

 

[moresnow]

I'll take 3"-6" across the north. Slow and steady will get the base up in the woods and make the next big storm really fun.

I'll take it. Hope for Tues/Weds's.
