  1. ^ Looks like a widespread 3 to 5 degrees below average. Nice.
  2. Don't look now, but the NAM wants snow squalls on Thursday morning from US 50 west.
  3. IIRC, Phase 7, 8, and 1 are our money phases.
  4. To illustrate the turbulence in the long range, the operational GFS trended between 10 and 18 degrees colder from 12z to 18z today for the Dec 10th event.
  5. Optimism? What did you do to the real Ji?
  6. I can absolutely understand the anxiety in the annual winter long range threads. Each year our window for any sensible winter gets smaller and smaller it seems.
  7. Last winter we were pulling ticks off our horse in January. Went back and looks at the data from my cooperative site and noticed we hit the mid 70s. . .
  8. Low of 22°. The four inch soil temperatures have really cooled off. Out petunias finally died with this freeze.
  9. Yup. All hail The King™ of snow storms.
  10. This is also mentioned in the Northeast Snowstorms books by Kocin and Uccellini. Some of our biggest "surprise" winter events were not detected until we got inside D4.
  11. Agreed. I wish operational guidance would stop at Day 7. Too much extrapolation beyond that. Let the ensembles take over after that.
  12. Wonder if the long range stuff is models reverting back to climo state? We saw that last year where beyond D10 guidance kept trying to advertise a solid pattern that never materialized.
  13. If we're not in the 50s on Christmas this year I'll consider it a miracle. Christmas 2015 we had Praying Mantis out and daffodils coming up.
  14. Would be nice to get 3"-5" regionwide then a dryslot. Then we get back into cold weather in a day or two. Just don't want it immediately melted off or washed away.
  15. Heisy coming down to post in our threads is never a good sign.
  16. Yup. Wind direction matters. You get a screaming east wind and it's sleet city. But turn that into a north-northeast or northeast wind and we're draining cold air from interior New England. Geography matters.
  17. You wonder if the Canadian and GFS are better at handling the NS energy and therein homing in on a threat quicker than the Euro?
  18. Congrats New York, you made the Japanese news. Really incredible stuff ongoing there.
  19. IIRC, the GFS outperformed the Euro with the 2016 event.
  20. Keep the Alaska/Inside Passage Ridge and we're going to score.
