Yes it is, talked to several people and their sick of this wind.

also, anything before Dec 10 is gravy for 80% of NE/MA posters on this board. couldn't care less if it takes a few more days to get things going

Oh my God that has to be saved and used repeatedly this winter

models often rush the progression of cold air eastward in -EPO patterns. i would say after the 5th is when snow risks increase for many in the Northeast in the same vein, i don't think much has really changed in terms of the overall progression. MJO is moving along, the SPV will become very weak and increase the shot at a -NAO spell, and we should see a BN to solidly BN December also, when you have a -WPO/-EPO (and likely a -NAO at some point), it is really, really difficult to have a truly bad period since there's so much cold air displaced into Canada and the CONUS

I didn't @ him at least. That would be dangerous.

Maybe for the heaviest…but I’d say mid December through mid March for good chances.

You just did............

Lol, not bad. Please, I hope no one tells Great Snow 1717 about this technology.

That’s honestly nearly impossible to predict with much confidence. But I’d lean toward at least a slightly warmer than avg Dec overall, especially this far south, due to the expected mild start.

LMAO. We tried to tell Scoots

Latest PNA forecast for the closing days of November. This is why one shouldn't expect a sudden rush of cold into the East, even as colder air should be building in Canada and the western U.S.

Are you thinking that south of the M/D line will see a warmer than average December, or will it be balanced out by a colder end?

Forecast said snow ending by 10 and it got much heavier right around then lol

Another issue is how warm Canada has been especially since May 2023. The coldest temperatures for both NYC and Saranac Lake during the 2020s occurred back on 2-4-23. While it was one the warmest winters on record across the Northeast, there was still a decent cold pool near Hudson Bay in February available for that brief Arctic outbreak. That was the only time during the 2020s that Saranac Lake dropped to -33° and NYC to 3°.

Anthony, 1. Where are you seeing a weak phase 7 being forecasted? The GEFS and EPS haven’t been and still aren’t. 2. I’m well south of the Mason Dixon line. As I said, I was giving you my perspective. A prevailing SE ridge is typically mild in the SE other than when there’s strong low level CAD. I prefer it not be mild. I prefer BN temps year round. Even NN would be ok. At the very least I like to see comfy dewpoints, especially in winter! I hate sweating during winter walks because it’s so humid much of rest of year. 3. I continue to expect a mainly mild lower Mid Atlantic and especially SE the next 4 weeks as is clearly shown by a good # of Euro Weeklies runs. 4. But as you said, we shall see!

Good news is there are no holidays the first week of December lol

Very fair!

With the exception of 2017-18 and January 2022, the coastal areas haven't really had great snow since the mid-2010s el nino.

Weak phase 7 in a negative enso Decembers in EQBO years analogs are below normal in the northeast. You have a - EPO in early December so the source region is cold. A negative PNA will create overrunning events N of the Mason Dixon line. We shall see

Another sub forum poster mentioned that despite a general - PNA in December, ( if that were to occur ) leads to the following Jan.'s PNA to average positive. This is under similiar ENSO conditions.

I was listening to the end of the Eagles game on the radio, Mike Quick said he thought he saw flurries coming down.

You are at almost 4,000', and not on the east coast. I mean literally on the east coast.

Very true and hopefully we cycle through to better years with more snowfall.

Got down to 30 last night
