AccuWeather.com - Brett Anderson | My Forecast for February

No snow, far from it , until maybe next week.

There is simply a lack of cold air and any east coast cyclogenesis.  The models keep hinting at a colder and possibly snowier period after this weekend.  As for now, Spring has sprung.  Enjoy.  Put away your snow skis for now, at least.

February 9th. may be our last hope for a snowstorm? .

The Euro weeklies are out and predict a colder trend in 2,3, and 4 weeks from now.  The CPC is saying the same.  So, after the first week of February things will be more wintry around here.  The Euro is doing this for the first time this winter, all along it has insisted on a warm winter, until now.

Strong snow squalls approaching the Delaware river and may continue into NJ, after midnight.

****40 mph wind gusts, 1 to 2" snow, lightning reported.

For what it is worth, some long range speculation. I hesitate to call it a forecast because anything beyond 7 days is suspect, especially this winter! It refuses to turn cold and snowy.

February 3rd to the 12th is the infamous "snow window" but, will it snow this year?  IF, this is right the Eastern US and Canada will be in a cold, snowy weather situation. The blue and purple colors represent cold temperatures.

But hey, look at the snow in Stowe, VT.  Looks nice but it is a very shallow snow cover.  Live shot.------->>

Cold Signal? Maybe.

The map above ( from University of Wyoming )  is of the stratosphere at the North Pole.  It has a much different appearance than a week ago and may mean a turn to colder in a week or so.  We shall see as this is a teleconnection. It does not influence our weather directly but it can foreshadow future weather patterns.  I believe that this represents a cross polar wind flow. Stay tuned.


EUROPE has turned dramatically colder and we may be next.  But then, we have seen such predictions of a pattern change all winter and none have proved out to be correct.  According to Blizz92 at Weatherunderground, it will get cold for about 5 days around February 7th., then, back to mild weather.  He does not see a pattern shift.

GFS indicating blocking high pressure over Greenland toward the end of January. Meaning cold and snowy weather is likely in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, later this month. This week we get some mild weather, but not extreme warmth.

Mostly 3 to 6" snow on the way.

Saturday snow now looks more likely. The latest GFS model run is colder with more snow.
