Rain Tuesday night into Wednesday for some areas?

Wait are you talking about Antonio Riggi or is Tony Gigi someone else?

Any news elsewhere like the gulf innit?

Where do Stein folks go when it's dry?

Indeed, August rose substantially from July’s record low of -4.12 to -3.23. It appears to still be in a rising trend for now.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

A prediction I'm tempted to make: If the Ravens go one and done in the playoffs Harbaugh will be fired.

I get this much but then that makes the graph you responded with even more baffling and confusing.

we back?

I really don't care about Dc, it's snowfall history or anything else with this conversation.ENSO ONLY PLEASE.

no chatter about NPAC SSTs lately? PDO rose quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. that's also a ton of warm water off the WC

Middle of MDR moving WNW to W as a strengthening TD early next week underneath a stout high:

Shorts and hoodie weather!

Where’s this at lazza

Cold pool Cu dotting the landscape up here. But what a beauty.

perfect hoodie day where you can go outside even in bright sunshine and feel cool.

As a general rule with La Niña winters, if there’s below average snow in November and December, they end up being dud winters. Yes, there are exceptions, but for the most part, November and December set the tone for the rest of winter with a La Niña

What kind of winter did that year have?

I can’t think of any Nina season in my life growing up on LI that was any good without at least one decent Dec event. 2017-18 had the 1/4 blizzard that counted as our early event.

Low at SBN was 41 but I had 39 on my thermometer at home.

The coastal plain will celebrate with December holiday Luau’s. As always ….

1988 was one that turned cold really quickly. The summer, particularly from June to the first half/two-thirds of August, was then a warmest on record. Then at the end of August, it just turned cold, and never really looked back. October 1988 was one of the coldest on record, and in some spots, beat out the cold standard of October 1976: Come to think of it, the warm west makes this look like the October version of February (or JFM) 2015.

Back below average ACE

Found this research study (The Elevation-Dependence of Snowfall in the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania) examining the impacts on elevation dependence snowfall and the types of conditions that influence events to either be low in snowfall range with elevation or high. Definitely found it to be an interesting read and I'm sure the mets (and @psuhoffman) would enjoy it too. Here is the link (http://nwafiles.nwas.org/jom/articles/2017/2017-JOM8/2017-JOM8.pdf), also if any met would like to chime in I remember a particularly elevation dependent snowfall in late November last year and wonder how those conditions line up with the studies findings.
