Don’t get used to the warm air during the week. Another Arctic blast will hit us.

Possible Snowstorm next weekend. That’s our only chance at snow because I think we warm up afterwards until mid Feb.
All models are in agreement that there is significant moisture from a coastal storm.

Hope you're right. Our snow cover right now in the Hartford area is rather wimpy!

The westernmost of those possible tracks would usually mean rain except from maybe Albany and Springfield on north. Though with such a long cold spell in place compared to normal, maybe the "warm air" that such a track would pull would not be as warm.

Again, hate having 2 straight posts, but thought I'd note the long-range forecast, after having Thursday thru Saturday being in the 40s, now mentions after that a storm Sunday night into Monday and saying "chance of rain or snow". Amazing.......

Also (since Jay closed the last snowstorm thread where I noted this about Naples, FL), the Weather Channel is saying that some areas of the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area have received snow flurries/ice pellets last night. The only other time this has ever occurred there at least in the history of weather recording is the famous Jan. 19, 1977 event that put a coating over the whole area.

On another site I go to, one member from Miami stated she saw snow yesterday. However, looking in the Miami forum here last night I didn't see anyone mention snow.

I did know they had it up by Ocala, got a coating there. But that's 300 miles NNW.

When the track is west of here, the circulation around the low pulls in air from the ocean/sound, which is usually (in winter) warmer air. So it usually warms up enough that you get rain. Whereas if the track (the center of low pressure) is out on the ocean, the circulation is pulling in colder air from the north and it usually makes it colder and produces snow.

Snowman, where do you get your long range forecasts? I'm glad to hear we may warm up through mid Feb. If that holds true it doesn't really surprise me because the weather always tends to balance out. Since it's been so cold for the past 6 weeks I wouldn't be surprised to see it warm up for the next 6 weeks.

NOAA. They are the experts with all the models. I'm just the monkey who tells it as is at that point in time. Right now models are showing a mixed rain event.

If it's boring, I dont post. LOL
