Luckily, this heat looks to be short-lived and I'm hearing rumblings about an event (i.e. snow!) for 1/14. Obviously, this is a ways out so we'll label this one "wild speculation" at this point...

Well Greg, I was just itchin' to start a "when's the cold-spell coming? I've already had enough of this heat wave. Scott has been suspiciously quiet, and his channel 5 reports are rather diplomatic...

Yes, it's great to be talking cold again. I was at Mount Ellen today and while the snow coverage was still excellent I kept noting the warmth, the wind, and the fog. Not a good combination.

Storm Sun/Mon?
Saw some info on a possible late weekend storm over on accuweather.com...

Whoa. :blink: I'm retarded. Not only did I think that MLK Day was this coming Monday, but I started a storm discussion thread about it... Merged and threat title fixed.
I was wondering what the hell you've been talking about... :lol:

Snow storm on Sunday-Monday? That's when I will be back at Burke. A powder day would be mighty tasty.....

Hate to say it, but it's looking like a SNE event, right now...

It was all good intent Greg. I'll take two storms, please: 1/14 AND MLK.

Lets see if we can get 2008 to follow the pattern of 2007 where a Holiday = a snow storm. We already had it work on New Year's Day!
NECN was calling for 4" tonight in Northern Maine

from matt noyes web site - hopeful...
Keep in mind, though, that the jet stream trough - with cold air to the north and a storm track right along the jet stream winds - will be gradually moving east with a series of energetic disturbances tugging it across the country. Eventually, it goes to figure that this storm path will reach the Eastern Seaboard, and if a strong enough disturbance has sufficient timing, a coastal storm would be possible. A stronger potential for this arrives Sunday night through Monday, and the track of the storm is still highly questionable, yet quite critical with cold air only gradually building in, and especially the coastal plain still vulnerable to warming from an onshore wind, so if this storm does indeed take shape, snow would be most likely the farther inland, north and west one is, and rain would be more likely the closer to the coast and the farther south and east one is. This is definitely one for all of New England to watch.
The new establishing trough only slowly moves east, which means when the next energetic disturbance rides to the East Coast on Tuesday, the storm path may not be all that much farther east, meaning New England may actually need to watch two systems in 60 hours, depending upon the evolution of the pattern. Either way, the trough will return to the east, and this brings a good chance of near and below normal temperatures through the remainder of the month, which is the change I've been waiting for in recent discussions, and still appears to be on target if all goes as planned.

too many words. what did he say?
I guess he said that it's not certain and not impossible that we may or may not get zero, one, or two snowstorms between Sunday and Thursday next week:smile:
