I would love to say this morning that I know exactly what this storm is going to do and that I have complete confidence in the way the models are handling the moisture advection at the mid levels, the expansion of the precipitation shield, and the strength of the Sub Tropical disturbance. If I [...]

A cold front with an Arctic air mass behind the passage of the front is moving through the region this morning with scattered snow showers for much of the region.

This morning we have an excellent example of why winter storms are so hard to come by in the northern Mid Atlantic and why all features must be in place just right. In this case, the Sub Tropical disturbance certainly delivered with an energetic and impressive storm developing off the North Carolina coast. A [...]

At one time the Pacific is favorable producing a sustained cold shot via a negative EPO/positive PNA positioning of the ridge, however the Atlantic is out of sorts with little blocking.

The pattern going forward is not one that many “snow lovers” are going to like reading. So first, step away from the windows, hide any sharp objects, and lock the door with the adult beverages.

If you put your ear to the ground, you could hear the fall of a million snow lovers faint to the ground after seeing the 12Z GFS, which basically if taken verbatum would produce a significant snowfall for most of the forecast area, save southern New Jersey (even that location would still get measureable [...]

Well I’m finally home from the “other” job and it is a beautiful site out there in Freehold . Steady snow and some sleet is falling throughout the forecast area with a mix of snow, sleet, and rain further to the south. I have about a dusting of snowfall so far here in Freehold. [...]
