Unless the niña breaks in February.

I drove up to about 3000' on the Cherohala Skyway on summer tires in my GTI during that 2014 snow. I still have a bunch of pictures of it somewhere. I couldn't comfortably drive any further towards the NC line, but I think there was 3-4" on the ground at that elevation and it was still coming down. Super windy and cold too.

Beautiful fall day anywhere in SNE where sun is sustaining 60 in view

@WxUSAF would like this: Ridging in Alaska Ridging in Greenland NW flow all the way back to the North Pole Stressed polar vortex

It's balmy and around 60 at 10:30 AM this November day. There are hints of a more exciting pattern change in 7-10 days (isn't there always?) but nothing but warm and dry in the short term. Bring on... something!

Get off your computer and go outside

I realize we are technically well within "cold season", so I'll start a new thread, even though my lawn is still green and growing a bit. Here's to more exciting weather the next few months!

Looks like BOX went with an advisory for most with a warning for the east slopes of the berks and the cape.

I like how CTP called me out specifically Most peak wind gusts will be in the 45 to 50 mph range, but given the several hour period of westerly 850 mb winds increasing to 55 to 65 kts in the 22Z Wed to 05Z Thu period, there could be some sfc gusts AOA 60 mph on the ridges, within and just to the east of gaps in the ridges and accompanying the stronger showers in that period.

Wouldn’t be surprising if there’s snow showers or light snows in SNE later Monday into early Tuesday .. with dusting - 1”

I think he moved to NY with @psuhoffman.

Indeed. Horrific.

63F,sunny. Gusty night ahead. Expect to feel some 40-45mph+ gust...

Maybe an isolated gust here and there, but only once have I experienced hours and hours of >55kt blasts. That was on New Years Day of 1962, a bitter (5/-8, chilly for NNJ) day with gusts that had to approach 70 mph as some large leafless oaks were uprooted from the semi-frozen ground - only 2" snow OG. Meanwhile a strong LP was doing a loop in the GOM and burying the Penobscot area from BGR (29.5") to Ripogenus (46") with 60+ mph gusts there.

Looks like folks in the elevated areas of Western Maine are going to see there first snow overnight, Looks like 3-6" above 2,500' with C-2" possibly down to the valley floor.

Tuesday mornings low is getting colder and colder as we get closer. Looks like we could get a hard freeze if it gets any colder.

February Niñas are notoriously warm and dry with few exceptions unfortunately. We'll definitely need to hope late November thru January work out or we're outta luck (short of 1 of those few exceptions.)

Looking at some 12z NAM bufkit locations we're still looking at 45-50 mph gusts region wide but there may still be a sliver of a window where there could be some gusts in the 55-60 range somewhere. Many soundings still have ~50 knots at the top of the mixed layer. Obviously this doesn't guarantee that translates to the surface.

We excel at long-range fantasy storms!

Will be interesting to see if it extends this cool punch by a few days next week. Euro has been trying to flush it in and out in about 36 - 48 hours.

Ha, end of the 6z Euro AI has a KU look to it.

It’s showing an east-based -NAO for December

We were apparently a bit more fortunate over here in the '70's irt November Snowfall. 8" Thanksgiving 1971. 2" early November '74, 4" Nov.12-13, 76. 11" (12" Pennington gap, 16" Big Stone) Nov.26,77. The '80's had no major November Snowfalls other than Higher Elevations in 1987. A few inch or less events ; 1981, 85, 87, 89. As you alluded to, the '60's had measurable Snow nearly every November.

JB has been lamenting the euro mid range warmth bias forever now. Always talks about how it's unable to see cold in the mid-longer range.
