  1. High of 43 Coldest high temp of the Fall so far Currently 41.
  2. There are still indications for a storm on the ensembles for around Dec 6. As advertised there is a pretty classic west based -NAO with lower h5 heights off of Atlantic Canada, but because the Pacific is just transitioning to a more favorable configuration, cold air availability looks limited for this period. An OV track with some sort of coastal transfer would make sense. Highest potential for frozen would be places inland should there be a storm. We should get colder in the days that follow.
  3. All the guidance says it's coming. Lets see of we can get the Pacific right at the same time. Good trends.
  4. The ens means continue the idea of trending the PNA positive (to varying degrees) by Dec 7th. They also indicate the EPO trending into negative territory just beyond that.
  5. As advertised this is a textbook -NAO. Higher than normal pressure near Iceland(weak sub-polar low), lower than normal pressure near the Azores(weaker subtropical high). Amplified longwave pattern with anomalous trough-ridge-trough across the N Atlantic. If that longwave pattern locks in for an extended period, then it is considered an atmospheric block.
  6. Exactly what he is doing. Even by the numbers its a -NAO. Maybe he is arguing that the mechanism by which it forms won't result in a sustained blocking event. I could buy that.
  7. Yeah its the same as the extended runs now on the GEFS.
  8. It used to be the shit. Lately I am not sure, esp for the coastal plain. Seems over here we do better with -EPO/cross polar flow. Doesn't always work out so well for the Fall line points west though.
  9. The oddity is the trajectory of the low track . It's essentially an Albert Clipper. Not so common in early Dec. EJ is correct though. 50-50 low. HP to the west over the GLs- results in a nice feed of cold from the north into the storm. -NAO forces the low to track to our south.
  10. Just for fun, the Black Friday edition of the Euro Weeklies for late Dec, centered on Xmas.
  11. No rock throwing lol. Sounds impressive. Probably a bit too much detail on the analysis for 10 days out though.
  12. This has been a pretty persistent theme on the ens guidance for around the 5th- an OV low/coastal transfer. EPS suggests some snow for us this run.
  13. The exact position/strength of the NE Pac(Aleutian) low is equally important to the NA state(arguably more so), compared to a just a couple decades ago. Encouraging to see the guidance retrograding it further west and popping a PNA ridge in the long range. Last thing we want is that feature parking in the GoA or worse.
  14. Sea effect snow season has begun in NW Japan. Watch it pile up over the next 3 months.
  15. This would be a good sign heading into early winter.
  16. If the trends continue we might see legit below avg temps by Dec 10th.
  17. All 3 ensemble means have the PNA trending positive by December 7th now.
  18. The general idea on the latest ensemble runs is the primary storm track remains to our northwest through about December 3. Beyond that there are indications of low pressure development along/off the MA coast. We shouldn't expect to see guidance lock in on anything specific at this range, but over multiple runs there are hints from Dec 4 onward. With an active southern jet there should be chances. The advertised pattern looks seasonably chilly for the east, but not especially cold.
  19. These 3 panels should give everyone here a good feeling with winter a week away.
