    Damn, Euro is ripping a piece of that NAO block all the way back into Baffin Island/Hudson Bay by 12/22....that would make for some fun I think in the days following.
  2. ORH_wxman
    All the western energy gets cutoff and sinks southwest into the Pacific, lol....I'd probably rather have that actually if we somehow manage to snow on 12/18-19 and have a pack to protect...it keeps everything northern stream which is better for us and better for avoiding cutters.
  3. ORH_wxman
    Euro is def interesting for 12/18-19, but I'm not buying it yet. That's a low end warning event pike-northward on that run. It's just that we don't really get a solid flux of CAA prior to that event which is what makes me skeptical of the snow that far south. If future runs can give us a bit better push behind the FROPA this Friday, then maybe I'll start buying a bit more.
  4. ORH_wxman
    Yeah unlikely we get skunked completely....esp once you are getting up into northern SNE. Long ways to go though before anything...even the 12/18-19 threat is 5 days out and most of us in SNE are not in the game with that threat....so we're still probably a week-plus out from our next snow threat. A lot can change.

    The 12z GFS is actually a great example to have right after the 06z GFS.....while the 06z GFS shows how things can go right, the 12z GFS shows how things go wrong. We're reliant on timing since we don't have true downstream blocking. That -NAO is still east-based so it's not going to provide much resistance for cutters....not until it retrogrades more into the central part of the domain which it might after Xmas....but prior to that, we are still at the mercy of timing.

    If it's beyond 3 days or so, that's probably the right approach.
  7. ORH_wxman
    That was a great SWFE. Came in like a wall (so did 12/16/07 too 3 days later). I remmeber I was actually out running a couple errands and got back home just in time...it was prob around 11-1130am or so. Like a few weenie flakes were falling right as I pulled back in the driveway and then about 5 minutes later I looked back outside and it was S/S+....just ripping.

    There may be 2-3 chances between 12/18-12/25....hopefully we can cash in. The pattern is really active and there's a lot of cold bleeding in after the 18-19th.
  9. ORH_wxman
    Looks good north of the pike....but my gut is that one ends up being NNE....we'll see though.
  10. ORH_wxman
    Here’s the 5 day 500mb anomaly mean ending 00z 12/25 and then the 850mb temp anomaly below that for the same time....we’ll have chances with that look but with the SE ridge, cutters are still a risk.
  11. ORH_wxman
  12. ORH_wxman
    Definitely plausible. There’s pretty decent ensemble support for some potential wintry systems between 12/20-12/24
  13. ORH_wxman
    Euro/GFS/GGEM all have something to watch for 12/20 timeframe. They also have one for 12/18 but it seems like NNE might be the place to be for snow in that one.
  14. ORH_wxman
    There’s always plenty of room for a grinch storm in there. Esp with that SE ridge still around. But at least there’s good cold bleeding down and it’s an active jet so we should have chances going forward after next week’s torch.
  15. ORH_wxman
    This is the EPS 5 day mean ending 12/24 for both H5 and H85
  16. ORH_wxman
    Ensembles on both GEFS and EPS show some potential there in that Dec 19-24 range.
  17. ORH_wxman
    12/22-23/69 had a nasty ice storm over central MA. Prob the one. Dec 1973 is a good mention by the others but that was a full week earlier on the 16th.
  18. ORH_wxman
    Yeah gotta go back to 2015 really....though you could maybe make a case for 2018 (first 10 days were brutal cold with the 1/4/18 bomb....however the rest of the month was a torch). Jan 2019 was cold, but not all that snowy.
  19. ORH_wxman
    It's clown range but it's a very good look....esp for interior. That high is kind of moving east to coastline might have issues by the time the storm comes up the coast, but overall it's at least something that is plausible once we're done with next week's torch.
  20. ORH_wxman
    The 850 anomalies show this well...it's not that warm here.
  21. ORH_wxman
    It was a troll post meant to elicit a response.
  22. ORH_wxman
    I always love reading about the old ski resorts back in the day that relied 100% on natural snow. So many of them were open for like 4-6 weeks all winter. Or even worse in some awful years. A lot of the old mom and pop hills might open for 3-4 weeks in January/February and that would be it. They typically made most of their money during February vacation week so that is the week they hoped to be open.
  23. ORH_wxman
    12z runs so far today definitely have some chances starting around 12/18-19. They would be SWFE type events but it’s obviously a change from the “no chance” regime of the next week.
  24. ORH_wxman
    Eh, I think the December composite is probably toast unless we get a huge swing in the final 10 days....too much western troughing and a lot of eastern ridging.
  25. ORH_wxman
    Yeah if we're gonna have a really mild day, lets see 70F....55-60 is boring....Thursday could make a run if we warm sector early enough in the day.
