Well the latest Euro 360 is on the crack pipe. Let's watch this day by day and see where it goes. Verbatim would be very cold and potentially stormy Christmas holiday period. I'll take the under at this point.
In addition to frozen pipes historic cold is often dry, granted historic cold can sometimes end with something big but that is the exception rather than the rule. Modest cold with a good storm track will be a win around here.
Will be interesting to see if heavier totals back west in future model runs. Certainly that has been the trend (excluding the current dry pattern of the last 2 months) over the past two years, for things to trend west. Especially on the GFS.
Same thing around here. It is nuts. Never used to be this way.
I get it if you want to put some salt down but several places as of late this afternoon were literally dumping it. I came out of an office building and had to do a double take to realize what was on the ground.
Yea but it sure hung around for a long time. Here in NJ I had a solid snow cover from early/mid December until around February 10th. Don't recall my total but probably around 15" I think. Nothing melted. It was light to some moderate snowfall falling on existing snow cover.
A cold outbreak similar to some that occurred in the 70's and 80's would feel like the end of days compared to what we've seen in recent years with in and out modest cold shots.
This is a cold map for the last day of November. Pretty impressive and not unexpected. Another strong shot of cold into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic next weekend before pattern relaxes.
Been watching that southern feature. I agree. This could be a legit THREAT. Potential phasing? Always tricky to get that southwest energy kicked out but interesting to watch.
