December 2010 was great in Boston.
So there are times where a west based -NAO may lead to huggers, but I think overall we certainly do want a -NAO for the big boys. A lot of our major snow events have had some serious blocking. Anywhere from DC to BOS wants blocking.
One nice thing about the torch start, is the great weather for outdoor activities like get togethers. I don’t know about anybody else, but hoping to take advantage of that before the shit hits the fan.
I'd argue late December 2012 into 2013 was the best. 2015 was one time and it was rightfully so, as it took a miracle for the blizzard to happen given that wave spacing.
Synoptically they probably are due for one of those. It's just real hard to get anything 18" or more in the lakes region, but I think Brian has the better chance where he is. The Lakes Region is more known for the 6-10" deals and CAD.
Looks like another bout of winter again for the Plains near Veterans Day as -PNA takes shape. Looks rather mild and mundane here, but that is not a change from guidance.
Should be some cold building in Canada if the EPS is right. Looks better than recent runs. Will see if that spills east...but plan on seasonal to mild temps maybe at that time.
