So I'll give you this, where you're located, you are much closer to the ocean and it's influence at this point of the year and it still makes things much harder to get the cold air filtered down unless the storm was very strong and created its own cold air down to the surface. With that said, I still think there's a good shot that anyone I-84 and north and west has a good shot of at least staying wintry with the precipitation. Lord knows which model is right, but they're starting to come together in the sense of where the precipitation will be liquid and where it will be frozen. I just don't believe that the GFS is correct as I think it's too far north. By tomorrow afternoon or evening I think we'll have a clearer picture. As we all know, nothing's ever written in stone until a few days out. This is the way it's been over the last several years.

Lolol.. You are so passive aggressive. It's too funny. I think we'll have a lot of chances throughout December. If this doesn't pan out, okay then we move to the next one. Come at least for Southern New England. But are we out of it, absolutely not

True.... But, there's something in pipeline for next Saturday as well, but that's real far out.

Yes, if you count from today to Tuesday that's 5 days. The storm starts on Tuesday. So it's 5 days before it starts not 4

Give it some more time. Damn

You mean 5 days

Ok.. I'm still not going to kill this for us in Connecticut. The GFS could be easily shift back down 50 miles or more and we are back in the game. Today is Friday and we still have 5 days before this storm gets here. This is not the final outcome. Not yet.

Lol . Silly.. they've already had a " great start " weeks ago with the Snow they have already gotten. Nice practice be aggressive post though.

I wouldn't say that at all. You got two different camps with two different outcomes. Either you're going to worry if you're in Northern New England that it's south of them, or you're going to worry in Southern New England that your rained out. It could go either way. So in other words, if you're going to worry, very very premature at this point.

Too funny with the back and forth. If anybody takes the runs happening today verbatim, then it's on you whether you believe we're getting a big snowstorm or we're getting a big rainstorm. By Saturday or Sunday I'll feel more confident on what we're getting.

Man.... You are the most pessimistic guy I know LOL. I'm not saying that this outcome is not a possibility, but it's also not the final outcome. I think we have a great chance of staying wintry even if it's not all snow, anywhere 84 North ..... I didn't realize how East you are and close to the cape. Yeah, I think you're cooked.

Remember, windshield wiper effect.

I know there's some people on here that may push the envelope, but I'm not one of those people who ever need to jump out in the crowd and say here I am. I just like messing with people. Now, back to our regular programming

No.. he put a poop symbol on your post... I'm just busting chops though. Was that a dig on your part though... I've been called worse sucka.

DIT.. you have something against a pride front ?? Or does your poop symbol just verify what you do like?

I totally agree with you. That's why I blocked TT. He's such a big instigator and brings nothing to the table. I could care less about his Shyte symbols. At least we have some good things to look forward to going ahead through December.

Man you flip more than a flounder. You know you wanted as much as everyone else. And don't forget to give me that weenie... I know it's your favorite. ;-)

Kind of like what the pope keeps saying. He is on the train of a warming trend and the Southeast ridge. I guess no one's 100% correct, but I'm not sure where he comes up with his thoughts.... Isn't he a meteorologist?

And there you go again .. always talking about someone's junk. Hmmmmm.

Ill take some Snow on my birthday!!

It like rinse and repeat with some of you guys. Pattern is changing,,, pattern is not changing... Winter is over... Winter is making a huge comeback.... Things will happen as they happen. If it doesn't, well then, everyone will still be back for next year ( I happen to think we will be in a much better place this year than last year, but time will tell ). It's all about being patient. Once things do break into a Wintry pattern, this will all be forgotten. Have faith guys and gals!

100% to be honest, I think that's going to happen to anyone who has been either on the fence on a pattern change or just negative about seeing any snow. It's funny how a good snow event for the majority of the area brings everyone together. It's going to happen!!

Well there, you have it. Winter's canceled. Nothing good is going to happen. On to next winter. I guess we'll see you on here then.

I was just giving some info from another source... Calm down snappy. ;-)

But then there's this... The Madden Julian Oscillation or (MJO) is really important when it comes to long range forecasting during the winter. Thunderstorm convection initiating over various regions along the equator while simultaneously other regions are drier corresponds with a total of 8 phases we monitor that influence the weather patterns over various regions across the globe, including North America. When you have a lot of convection over phase 6 which is the Western Pacific, it likes to enhance a very warm pattern over much the US. Currently we are in a phase 6 and it’ll make sense to you if you have been outside today. When convection sets up a little further to the east over the Western Pacific, we call it a phase 7. That introduces more cold air back to the US, but is met with some resistance from a ridge of high pressure over the Southeast US that tries to keep this part of the country milder. As we head into Thanksgiving, we’ll see a brief shot of cold air for a few days, but going into early December it will be met with a return of that ridge which will again increase our temperatures for a time. When convection begins to shift into the Western Hemisphere, we call that phase 8. Phase 8 corresponds to cold overwhelming the pattern for the central and eastern US. The projected evolution of the MJO in the coming weeks is to go from 6 currently to 7 during the last week of November and early December and into phase 8 by mid December. Until that time our temperatures may be highly variable. Once we get into phase 8 mid-December, steadier cold air will become more predominant and winter weather chances will hopefully increase just in time for Christmas!
