This is going to be one of those springs when the cold will drag on and on. I feel it. We will all be putting in our basements. and then GAP tourney will start, and it will be cold and snow in early May. I just know it!

Dude, luv ya man, but for the 15th time rip the freakin patch off. Messing with your brain. Got soo negative. IV ,  or snort nicotine. Better yet, turn to more alcohol. Look what it’s done for me. Ok, scratch that, but waning El Ninny screams above normal. 
And this puppy ain’t dog pounded yet either. 
Coroners been summoned yes, but give it tomorrow yet.  It just wants to snow in PA . Warm after, but damn we ain’t far off. Give me kink for $800 Alex.

I know there has been alot of antecdotal chatter about how the models seem to have gotten "worse" in recent years and I share this opinion. One thing the popped up my memory, I believe is back around 2016-2018, there was at least one very northern site in AK or Canada, if not multiple, that stopped launching balloons and even then I recall chatter about foecasts starting to be a little more, wonky.

All these late game surprises and biuncy medium/long term forecasting, any thoughts on that possibly being a root cause? Lots of upgrades, yet I am certain many would argue those haven't helped much.

🙂

Bad data in = bad data out. There is definitely some validity to this as no mans land Vorts are what always make or break a forecast.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
On Thursday morning, the Eastern Seaboard largely remains in between
two areas of low pressure. One such feature is well out to sea
across the western Atlantic, while the other is attached to a cold
front near the Mississippi River. Given the split flow in place, the
upstream system will actually come in two phases. The lead shortwave
is expected to increase rainfall chances through the day on
Thursday. This persists into the overnight hours as well as Friday
morning. Overall rainfall totals are not terribly impressive,
generally running between 0.10-0.25", locally a bit higher along the
Alleghenies. A secondary cold front sweeps through midday Friday
which provides a shot of colder air to the region. Upslope enhanced
precipitation persists along and west of the Alleghenies from late
Friday into portions of Saturday. Expect a changeover to a rain/snow
mix or all snow as the column further cools. Otherwise, a drying
trend should ensue for much of the weekend. Some additional shower
chances may return to the Allegheny Front early next week.

During the period, temperatures will be on the milder side with most
locations in the 50s on Thursday and Friday. The effects of the cold
advection behind the frontal boundaries will bring readings closer
to climatology on Saturday. However, in the wake, winds return to
west to southwesterly which yields another warming trend. Based on
the latest extended guidance, this increase in temperatures could
push into portions of next week as well.


I figure all of this for the mountains~

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A deepening South to Southwesterly flow of air will develop as
high pressure moves well east of the Atlantic Seaboard.

No rain is anticipated before Wednesday night or more likely
Thursday.

Temperatures Tuesday onward will average above normal again.

Models have backed off from phasing upper level features late
in the week now. Some light rain and perhaps some patchy snow
will taper off on Friday, as slightly colder air moves into
the area by the weekend.

Going beyond the weekend, building upper level heights across
the east would support above normal temperatures for the end of
Feb.

Looks to my eyes as just a frontal passage at this point.

 

 

 

Yes, unless Lazarus is going to be the name, this threat is all but out of it. 

With each passing day, we move well beyond the point where accum. snow can stick around - even if a Big-Un is to be. That makes me happy.

Highly endorse this. Once we turn Feb corner, done. March snows just mud it up, and force me to go to Florida.

Rain will overspread the region during the day Thursday and
especially into Thursday night ahead of the approaching cold
front. However, amounts at this point still look relatively
light overall. Higher QPF is expected east of the Blue Ridge as
upper forcing moves in early Friday morning prior to daybreak
and along/west of the Allegheny Front where orographic lift will
aid in some higher amounts. Either way, don`t see anyone getting
much more than a quarter inch out of this system.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The synoptic pattern over the continent will be on the amplified
side and remain split in nature. Across the eastern half of North
America, a broad longwave trough extends over much of the area. The
core of lower heights does remain confined to near Hudson Bay.
Within the southern branch of the jet, a progressive shortwave
ejects across the country before arriving into the local area early
Friday. This ushers a cold front through the region on Friday
morning. As this occurs, most rainfall chances begin to wane through
the day as winds shift to west-northwesterly. When it is all said
and done, total rainfall amounts will likely range between 0.10-
0.25", locally a bit higher from I-81 westward. Cyclonic flow aloft
coupled with increasing upslope ascent will bring some snow showers
to the Alleghenies Friday evening into portions of Saturday. An
additional boundary pushes toward the northeastern U.S. during the
weekend. Any precipitation should be relegated to the Allegheny
Front.

Well LI did get its back to back snow on top of snow (though the totals where low on the second one, 1 - 2.  But i'll take it.  I cannot remember the last time LI had a snow on top of snow event.
