The AO trends basically neutral and the NAO slightly positive by the end of the month. Btw that area of +heights on the means focused in the WA is not exactly the block we want. 50-50 high!
Look at h5 vorticity/trough axis and orientation. The general idea going back a week or more was a trough going negative tilt to our west. I knew if that idea held, with ridging out in front, and a warm atlantic, my yard was fuucked.
Made some simple oven roasted brussel sprouts. Olive oil, salt, pepper, a touch of garlic powder, and a drizzle of Vermont maple syrup. Superb esp given minimum effort.
Maybe the hint of a wave along the front as the cold comes in. Probably the usual cold chasing. Looks like we will at least be cold at this point, but probably dry.
Once it flips the snow is over, other than some really insignificant stuff on the backside. By the time the warm nose moves off and CAA commences, the heavy snow is well NE.
KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Imperial Stout
This might be the most chocolate prominent stout I have ever tried. Its freaking good. I feel like I need to hit the treadmill though.
How much rain for your yard?
I am glad to see a bit of a precip min modeled over here. Maybe I can escape with an inch. The heavy stuff looks like it will be focused SE towards the immediate coast.
