Larry Cosgrove still holding fairly strong that there won't be much change to a colder and possibly snowier pattern in his longer term outlook until the end of January. Although he did say there could be a colder period early in the new month. All is not lost but his reason for keeping the east coast on the warmer side is the ridging over Cuba and Hispaniola. Also when the pattern does become more favorable for snow in late January he once again mentions the snow chances will increase between the Continental Divide and the Appalachian Mountains but did not mention the east coast. So take it for what it is.

The make or break month for the winter season. What will it hold for our area? Post them here.

Accumulation on grassy surfaces and car tops followed by a flooding nor'easter with 60 mph winds. Book it.

Honestly, I am starting to think we may not see anything substantial winter weather wise until at least the 3rd week of January but we'll see.

Posted this in some of the other threads so I figured I would post it here as well. For those that didn't read Larry Cosgroves weekly newsletter he basically stated that between January 1st thru about the 23rd he likes the euro weeklies with a "washed out" cold look with snow potential being good for the Great Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes. He did say winter will eventually get here but the I-95 cities may have to wait longer which to me means we may not see any appreciable winter weather until the second half of January which is in line with what some others are thinking. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see much of anything substantial until the last week of January. If that is the case lets hope good things come to those who wait. We'll see. Disclaimer: Not saying this is how things will play out but it is a possibility.

Slight improvements aren't going to get it done IMO. We would need to see continued improvements.
