  1. Thunder Ridge-my boys learned to ski there-some good memories. Definitely colder up that way...
  2. That Jan 78 storm was the Cleveland blizzard right? We rained on top of the initial blizzard that fell a week earlier?
  3. Most ski areas will do well-they need the early season snow for sure...
  4. Incredible. Amazing at 1pm the sun was barely above the horizon...extended twilight in the morning and PM with the oblique angle the sun rises/sets at..... Wished we could have seen the northern lights.
  5. Yep I get it. Went to Iceland last Dec-did the SW section-incredible. Had a +NAO so was cloudy/snowy/rainy depending on locale.
  6. RAIN for most that's why (friday) Most here are on the coastal plain but congrats inland
  7. Does it really matter? Xmas is an indoor holiday for our part of the country....what would you do differently if it's 30 out vs 55 out? - snow is obviously a different story I'm strictly talking temps
  8. The warm atlantic is overlooked but that is likely a factor too....
  9. Well December is over for snow...onto January....(like last year)
  10. Later in the season yes, the warm water is fuel. This early no bueno.
  11. you just need northerly winds really. We had a big storm post Sanday in early Nov but winds were out of the NNE.
  12. 01-02 and 11-12 the benchmarks for awful winters each had a 4 inch storm around 1/20. It was a 10 day winter both of those years. We were in the 70's and 80's by March lol.
  13. Ha of course-you're down to 6 weeks or so at that point....
  14. This. We started Dec 5-7 now we are pushing Xmas with anything decent.
  15. Sure was. Heavy wet snow 4x in March....was memorable.
  16. Road trip to the Rockies-ridiculous early season snows out there-Breckenridge with 7-8 feet for the season so far.
  17. None of it has verified. As Bluewave notes it looks great then as we get into the middle range, it's back to cutter city and the cold dumping out west. Same ol same ol. The blocking hasn't really helped us and doesn't look great for the next week for snow chances unless you're well N and W.
  18. Couple differences though-the cold in Dec 2010 was central/east-now it's central/west with a persistent -PNA. SST's are very warm off the east coast-hard to get hit and hold cold with that early in the season. Lastly, the models have continually delayed the goods...never a good sign. This looks more like Dec '96 than Dec '10
  19. 15 days out-we are always 10-15 days out with the "great look"
  20. If it's cutter after cutter not sure it's a "great pattern" Just seems like the old rules don't apply anymore....
  21. 89 was such a crazy block-I lived in Philly at the time we got about 10 inches on the month but even there we were on the northern fringe of the storms-incredibly suppressed and bitter cold pattern. Jacksonville FL to Charleston SC had a white xmas from a storm around 12/22 that year
  22. Given some of the early talk, there was a chance of several threats back to back etc. That doesn't seem to be on the table anymore at least through the next 7 days or so....Pattern looks good day 8-10 but you know how that goes.
