Wild here for a time (wareham). Went from mild and partly sunny (and a cool rainbow that I vividly remember), to blizzard conditions and gusts over 80 in a matter of an hour. I started off the day in Norwood where it started to change to snow at the time I was leaving, but still nothing crazy (1 or 2pm??) Apparently I might have gotten stuck if I left 30 min later. I recall writing a summary of the storm to Mish Michaels a day after. RIP This was also the storm that made me sign up to the EasternWx board.

yeah let's get this SE of the benchmark *logs off*

6z GFS continued the redevelopment trend further SE. it will take more for that to matter here, but I didn't think it was even a possibility 24 hours ago.

All aboard the qg_omega / Great Snow of 1717 Express

His post wasn't wrong at the time, that's what it showed on 11/30. But why are you comparing 500mb with 2m Temp anomalies.

George001 has always channelled the spirit of James (Rest in Peace). Gotta love his enthusiasm. It's sorta like that movie Beerfest where Landfill's identical twin brother comes to visit and allows his friends to call him Landfill, so it's like he never left us.

lol - the long range OP runs definitely have an emotional sway to this board, whether or not some like to admit it. Quickly looking, there's still a lot of potential here, especially for interior and NNE. Wouldn't be shocked if we are tracking a legit winter storm (or 2) for many in the next few days, targeting that mid-month range.

I'd be excited if I lived in interior. TBlizz and I are probably looking at 6" of rain over the next 10-12 days. Its just too early down here without a cold airmass

I'm guessing the clown range GFS was already discussed, but this would be something.

we typically punt early/mid December anyway..so I'm fine with waiting another 10 days before hopefully getting a couple legit threats to track

BOS: 44" KDIT: 43" KPVD: 30" KORH: 57" KMETH: 54" KMBY: 35" KTBLIZZ: 45" KDRYSLOT: 60" KWEY: 48" There were will be one big storm that will jackot EMA, specifically NE Mass, maybe tickle Weymouth, and hammer Dryslot. Some CJ action along the coast. Otherwise, average year at best.

Everything sucks. I mainly blame the coaching for destroying any progress he might have made in year 2, though. I think he could've been a serviceable QB if under the proper coaching (think Jared Goff, Alex Smith). I turned the TV off at halftime after the missed FG. It's unwatchable at this point.

he hitched to the pope wagon. the one where pattern changes don't exist, even though we just had one.

My mindset was always: 12/5 is when I'll start looking for threats on models. so maybe by then the models will start picking up on trackable winter storms in the day 5+ range. If that gets pushed a couple days, then whatever

I think a disappointment at this time year would be a shutout through 12/20. Despite the good pattern ahead, I would take 2-4" in mid December and be content.

We salvage Saturday morning here, for final leaf cleanup

I just bought some today in the low 4's. lowest since early August

Just need to avoid this: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=sel2rad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=200&interval=5&year=2020&month=12&day=24&hour=23&minute=55

Just blew through here with scattered outages. wild

Pattern is promising but who the hell really knows until we get some storms to track in the mid range. I'd be content with a few inches around mid month or just before the holidays..sans a Christmas grincher

live look

From 11/13 through today, SSTs in Cape Cod bay dropped from 57° to 49°. It's been a steady drop since the 'pattern change that never happenend'

so models in the long range were off about 2 days? doesn't seem like something to get bent out of shape over

I've been conditioned to accept it, and it helps to know that we can still score on high end storms from time to time. Plus, other things like wind and the occasional OES keep it somewhat interesting.
