Possible wind chills Tuesday morning. Exceptional! Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

45 - 55 could still cause problems in RI and SE MA. Had to do a lot of driving today, and 2/3 of the trees still have leaves. Some are just starting to turn color. Could result in more tree damage than in other parts of the region where the leaves are long gone.

Second accums at the base. We had about an inch of slop on Saturday AM. No accumulation to date at home, 750 feet lower.

From Ryan Maue Just exclaimed to an esteemed colleague how gobsmacking it was to see -40°C contour at 500 mb over Indiana on November 10th -- so unlikely to be nearly impossible in 2025 let alone 175-years ago in 1850. Historic cold -- we get to experience the pre-industrial climate in 2025! This is extremely impressive. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

talking about if we want any chance of snow east of the appalachians

Maybe an SSW but in general I like seeing the PV in a weakened state. We really don't need an SSW for blocking. Keep the PV weak and we will get our chances. This would lead us into December. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

is that your first accumulation near the base? I know you have seen snow..

What snow system are you talking about? The only thing I see are some good upslope snows in WV and western MD on Monday. East of there a flurry or sprinkle is possible but I don't think I'd even count on that.

Model backed off.

Models obviously backed off since 18z yesterday. Low once near EPM is "only" 987 mb, compared to 979 mb earlier.

Looking at the Snow Maps. For whatever Reason the GFS or Euro apparently don't "see" High Knob in Wise County.

Glad this weather is in it's way out. Low of 36 and a high of 73.

She is talking about his sheer lunacy, nothing to do with his weather posts. He has completely lost it.

Any signs of a sting jet being modeled?

That’s why it’s called historic lol…by the name and by the definition, it’s only supposed happen a handful of times..or else it wouldn’t be historic. And yes, I’d never trade our big bombs for a 3-6” Midwest blizzard no matter what…they can keep those.

Anyways, atmosphere and weather test completed and I think it went pretty well!

Crazy to say this about one of our best posters in regards to their meteorological posts

Eric Webb expects a rapid -IOD collapse starting soon, which models are showing the effects of as I showed on their Dec IO SST anomaly maps. He’s expecting El Niño to get started very early, which he said elsewhere could conceivably save Feb from being a mild month (we’ll see): A more rapid shift towards El Niño is probably the one wild card we could play that would have the potential to significantly alter the outcome of the latter part of this winter/February in our favor (though even then it wouldn't be a guarantee that things would shift favorably even in that scenario).

On a less pessimistic note than the past couple posts the GFS shows an amazing early season upslope/cold core lapse rate thingy happening on Monday! Gets parts of WV to one foot

Paul Roundy @PaulRoundy1 ECMWF clearly moving toward El Niño solutions this spring. Huge Maritime Continent westerly wind event developing, which will move warm water volume from the eastern Indian Ocean to the West Pacific. In the meantime, Pacific trade wind surge will maintain La Niña conditions for a couple more months. Paul Roundy @PaulRoundy1· 8h In the meantime, ECMWF is moving toward the OLR projections solution for December. Subseasonal signal suggests opportunity for eastern US cold/stormy conditions in early December.

This ( latest update ) is even more robust in terms of lessening winds, ie. stratospheric zonal winds.

Starting to get excited about the potential on this one.

Anything outside of HR 60 to 90 just treat with skepticism.

This winter shall be called: "the winter of the hybrid clippers" My favorite type of setup
