Should I Give Up Hope

Wxrisk says no snow for the East Coast. They say that the Greenland block is going to be weaker than expected, what do you think will happen? Are there any chances that it could change?

It's possible to change, but I think the Dec 24-25 event is rain for the east coast.

I agree strongly...i mean its EXTREMELY rare to see two major east coast snowstorms over Xmas in back-to-back years.

IMO...this is MOSTLY a RAIN event.

RNS WHAT DO YOU THINK FOR THE LOWER LAKES AREA FOR SNOWFALL WITH THE 24TH-25TH STORM?

Right now IMO the system will run up along or just east of the appalachains...and the eastern lakes will have the best chance of seeing decent snowfall from this system. its all RAIN for the east coast and the major cities...

once the system transfers to the east coast...we will lose the cold air source...therefore what cold air will be associated with the system at that point will be located underneath the H5 low. IOW...there WILL NOT be a cold air source sufficient to allow for a widespread MAJOR snowfall from this event east of the mountains. IOW...It is RAIN for the major cities and alot of it. we will also have to be aware of flood potential given all the rain that has fallen in conjunction with recent snowmelt...this will worsen an already bad situation.

6-hour flash flood guidance values are VERY low and any significant rainfallcould cause BIG problems in many areas:

Good point to bring up RNS about the flooding potential as it seems alot of people i think are ignoring this potential serious threat in the NE.

And as shown on that map it wont take much to get it going!

BTW 1evans and playballgt14 i hope you guys are happy now. So please ease up with the same how much for me questions. It gets very old after awhile. Just sit back and relax and read the threads and im certain you will get your answers and maybe even learn a thing or two perhaps!!!!!

Hey, Glen, you told me you would lay off it for a while
