Long Range Discussions 21.0

There are so many potential storms out for the taking in the long range. 3 next week (including Super Bowl), and two the week after.

The one near Valentines Day looks very interesting. Has my attention

Yes it does

My goodness it gets bitter cold towards the end of next week through the V Day week. PV elongated and just sits over the Canadian USA border from Montana/ ND to  Lake Michigan

Snowpack for weeks!

I'm reading that it's looking like another long duration winter event that's taking shape for next weekend. Obviously a ways out but major signal for multiple waves to ride along the Arctic boundary. Set up screams interior snow, while the coastal plain deals with possible ice. All depends where that boundary sets up though and that won't be modeled correctly until we are much closer. Pretty good look though.

Hey Mugs

The ensembles keep showing a colder solution for next weekend while the ops show a warmer solution. That is starting to change. The ops are trending colder to the ensembles. Interesting week ahead.

Absolutely Tony thanks for stopping by my man!!

Does interior snow mean western NJ/eastern PA or more like frontier interior?

I think like what you said and what we have seen classically this winter, NW NJ and Eastern PA. Hope it shifts, we'll see...

The cold starting next weekend through the end of the month just looks relentless. WOW....

Am I reading that right? Something like -13 for upper Orange county? That's getting there.

So not only are we seeing the relentless cold for the month of February, but looking at this 2 week forecast, there's snow or mix listed for every day but 3. Stormy and cold... SWEET!

With a deep snowpack and radiational cooling under clear skies yuor more like -20!!! Yikes have not seen this type of cold since the 1994 outbreak where Warwick hit -30 if I recall - CP paging CP on this one and Doc?

MASSIVE PATTERN upcoming - could be dare I say utopian for us snow weenies? Mother Nature balancing things out as she usually does!

Cold days ahead my friends. Old Man Winter has awoken from his slumber.

I'm pretty fired up about the potential. The boundary will be close by so we are definitely in the game!

And we have you to thank.

I hope that's not lost on everyone here. I'll take superstition over science any day, with these recent results.

I hit -23° in Highland Mills during the 1994 cold outbreak, I forget what town but somewhere in NWNJ Sparta or Sussex?, hit -32°, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, MIddletown all were -20° or lower. These were actual temperatures no wind chill involved.

I remember going outside just to see what -23° felt like. You immediately felt everything in the inside of your nose freeze up.

1.2 inch total and light snow here, looks like that may be it, and I'm okay with it, would have liked 3 but I cashed in early this week.

Enjoy SENJSNOWMAN  and everyone else that missed out the max earlier this week, you've earned this one.

I was rolling reading through all that. Bravo to all of you who took part. I appreciate the shout out over there Bill

Glad to do my part. And glad it seems to have worked out because I really wasn’t sure how to land that plane if this past week ended up 55* and rainy. Lol.

This map is just magical for us snow weenies. Just beautiful.

I'm gonna have to get another bag of ice melt if there are more storms coming
