We don’t want 89-90 ever again

Not for a long time at least I agree. I actually hope Pouncey doesn't get suspended for his defense 

Yeah agree. I’ve never seen anything like that. It could have turned out much worse. None of us could do that and keep our job. And he probably should be criminally charged.

Is there anything else worth wasting time on? 

Just so you don’t forget, this is one soul you’ve never been able to collect. 

I wouldn’t claim to actually know but it would seem anomalous heights would be located over anomalous warmth. And open water seemingly would at least be warmer than what is normal. Seems logical to me anyway, lol.

GEFS/GEPS both pop an -EPO last week of the month. GEPS signal is so strong it's a closed ridge at 16 day leads... lol. Wut?

 

We're seeing a lot of absolute primo upper level panels for a coastal storm lately. They keep getting better too. I said a bunch of times back during the 13-15 stretch about how I would like to see what would happen with a nasty -EPO and -NAO. heh. Might find out...

Anybody think that open water just north of Alaska is gonna help us, at least for a while.

Assuming the nice looks are real...lol...we really need continuation into December before I'll feel good about repetition. November is really good at fooling weenies by going off on a total tangent before "the real" winter pattern sets in. 

That said, closest analog to this is Dec 2009

If the Euro depiction above actually happened I’d think it’s at least a front end wintry period. But sure to change in some way that far out. Nice seeing possibilities though.

KOKV with 42+ hours at or below freezing. Impressive for this early but tainted by my opinion of KOKV reported temps.

Hey, haven’t seen a post from you in a long time. Hope you’re well.

Can we get a dick emoji? Asking for a friend.

Maybe rename the other thread to include November, then shut this one down.

Anything short term can go in the Discobs thread.

And ofc, if there is a legit threat before the end of the month, a new thread shall be created.

I'm not upset with the 12z GEFS:

 

That’s pretty close to the look I’m looking for.

Can we pleases lock this thread and use the new one?

Besides clippers another thing that seems to be gone anymore are the broad troughs the seem  to be backed up against the front range of the Rockies with a piece of energy running down the slope into the lower Mississippi valley and cranking a storm that runs through the mid south and turns the corner up the coast. Just a memory. Possibly selective but those seem like they used to be more common.

Tiebreaker must be SBY or LYH.

OKV does not measure snowfall.

Changed it.

I know you know this, but looking at composites/means do not imply that the given anomaly will be there 100% of the time. Give me a general cold look imby and I will take my chances every time- If its dry, its dry. Can't snow if it's not cold enough. You clearly view things from the other end of the stick, but thats a function of our disparate climo in this region.

Yeah it’s a two headed coin. Gotta have the cold. And we certainly can’t score with a whopping se ridge. A little bit of one can help sometimes. I guess for me my thoughts are if it’s stormy enough we will get lucky some with temps. And yes, those means only give a broad outline. What is shown is better than the reverse.

BAMWX supports the idea of a trend to colder than normal risks for December.

What is interesting is the ridge in the SW US. That would signify a weakening of the STJ. EPS showing the idea of a -NAO developing just in time for Thanksgiving. Should be fun.

That ridge in the southwest would signify to me that we would be depending on something northern stream to dig enough to get under us. More than not that ends up being cold and dry. 

BWI - 31.5”

DCA - 21.7”

IAD - 37.5”

RIC - 9.1”

SBY - 7.3”

Stephens City - 3.2”

My prediction is as follows:

BWI: 52 inches
DCA: 31 inches
IAD: 39 inches
RIC: 12 inches

Tiebreaker (SBY): 16 inches

 

That BWI number is almost as high as Maryland’s avg points allowed this fall.

LOL the RPM. Never will forget how that thing nailed the March 2013 storm. I mean it was unreal how good it was from about 24 hours out. They put that model on the weather channel the day before.

And Cantore came to DC anyway.

As for the operational, both the Euro and Gfs forecasts for today from just 7 days ago were awful. GFS has my high at about 30. It was 66.

Just need to factor that in when forecasting or hoping for snow more than about 3-5 days in advance.

@C.A.P.E. @Bob Chill

Euro ens still looks good to me heading towards December. This look probably won’t get it done in late November but I would take it during peak Climo. And still no signs of the flip up top that the seasonal guidance expects. 

I like that look. A broad flat trough with that little bit of baginess in the sw. we can win with that.

Ridge west trough East can also be cold, dry, windy. Might get lucky with a clipper but those don’t seem to exist anymore. We need some flow to under cut that ridge and bring us something to work with. 
 

I’ll never stray from my winter theory of give me precip and I’ll take my chances. It’s not temp that will cause me to not see snow for the next week or so.
