Icon and GGEM both took a good step. Hard to imagine we get snow from the coastal, but I’m hoping we can get some snow from the primary before it loses its punch. Need some more south trends, but 12z moving that way.
Cold and dry-ish Niña periods are pretty normal historically. But yes, since BN periods are getting less frequent, it does hurt to let one go by without measurable snow to show for it. Even if it is December when we struggle to get much normally.
I’m not greedy. Just want some festive snow on my Xmas lights. We’re going to have a BN December. That alone seems amazing. Would be nice to have more than a T of snow out of it.
Happy hour is fun but that has “last 48 hour heartbreak” written all over it. Would be nice if we could get a solution like the 12z euro from yesterday. Simple easy 3-6”.
eta…gfs kinda leaves some energy along the front late Thursday and flips us to white rain. If that front wave can amp up more and also get more trailing energy, that could turn into something.
Not true! I vividly remember driving to work during the November storm in 2018. I think forecast low for dc was like right at freezing. When the weather report on the radio said it was 28 or 29 at DCA I nearly drove off the road.
So far this month, it’s the torch that’s been getting cankicked. Guidance has repeatedly been adjusting colder at shorter lead times for the eastern conus with more -EPO and less of that rollover ridge.
