  1. It’s quite typical for strat vortex disruptions to impact Europe first.
  2. If you're into Strat vortex talk, today is a good day. A weak Strat vortex plus MJO that should be propagating into favorable phases is a good combo for the week before Xmas and beyond. @griteater and DT both talking about that time period as well.
  3. 30 at home. Stayed in the 30s today. Frigid with the wind.
  4. Big area of flurries and snow showers moving toward the M/D line. Hoffman better get that dry ice-cooled snow board out so he can rack up the flakes.
  5. FFS @psuhoffman, please tell us you’re shoveling this morning!!! The subforum’s hopes are teetering!
  6. T: 11/28/2023 Normally, I don’t count traces, but figure I better make a note in case this is all we get
  7. Pretty much equivalent to the 2nd heaviest snow of last winter
  8. Pounding snow (Winter 22-23 definition applies)
  9. Some northern stream energy has consistently been showing up behind those rainstorms. That will be a short range track if it happens.
  10. GFS and GGEM both showing coastal development in the Dec 5-7 period that @CAPE has shown a few times on the ensembles. Timing is key with active flow, but there’s cold air nearby.
  11. Peak climo in mid January to mid February? I don’t see how anything that’s being shown for the next two weeks should at all change anyone’s original opinion about how this winter will shake out. If anything, there’s still plenty of reason to be more optimistic that December won’t be a complete waste of which is very much in this strong Nino winter history.
  12. A period of -PNA to start December has been very well modeled and expected for like a week? And it’s also been seasonally expected for December by almost all monthly or seasonal outlooks?
  13. 18z hrrr has flurries/snow showers Tuesday through MD
  14. On the same page. After the 6th or so we’re at least back “in the game” for something wintry if things align right. That’s about as good as we get usually and especially in December compared to recent years. Hopefully we can time something up.
  15. One important detail to note about this upcoming -NAO dominated pattern. The -PNA that’s also coming later this week and weekend is going to really scour out all the cold air on the continent. And that takes some time to regenerate in situ. So you see a gorgeous H5 pattern on the ensembles like this on and after the 6th or 7th and think we’re back to frigid temps and …nah.
  16. At least one very compelling date here
  17. 25.9 for the low. Coldest of the season so far.
  18. Will the -NAO save winter? Will Hoffman get his 1"? Will we be wearing bikinis for Xmas?
