Pretty colors of the PV warming. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Great stuff from Allan Huffman. Today's 12z op ECMWF and EPS mean both show the 10mb U wind turning negative, meaning a change to an easterly wind direction over the polar regions and an #SSWE with 41 of 50 EPS members (82%) showing this reversal with 11/25 the day with the most negative members. Sudden Stratospheric Warming Events, can weaken the tropospheric polar vortex, allowing for increased high latitude blocking (-AO) and the enhanced risk for arctic air discharge into the mid-latitudes (North America, Europe, East Asia). A late November SSWE is relatively rare, and COULD help favor a cold start to meteorological winter(December). The last November SSWE was in 1968. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

A great sign moving forward right around Thanksgiving which could usher in cold air along the East. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Wow! Thanks for the info Don.

Got down to 16 this morning with a storm total of 4.75 inches of snow. The back roads are a freaking mess.

Just went out and measured. I've got 4.5 inches of snow and it's windy with a temp of 17 degrees. Freaking amazing start to the season.

In Robbinsville some today. Currently light snow and 28 degrees.

This afternoon and evening are going to get crazy around here with daytime convection and the vort dropping down. Fun times guys.

Temp of 24 with moderate snow and a dusting on everything.

Great signs coming into the later part of November into December. From Eric Webb We're likely in for a long-lived & intense -AO/-NAO/-EPO episode beginning later in Nov & lasting into Dec. The -NAO that develops later this week anchors itself into the lower stratosphere almost immediately Day 9 GEFS mean 500mb height anoms (left) & 100mb height anoms (right) Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Temp down to 25 degrees with light snow currently. Radar is looking good for some heavier rates coming in soon.

Tried to get a few pics of it coming down. Light to moderate snow now with temp at 32. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
