The whole we're heading for a historic snow and cold thing was overplayed to some extent. It's not that simple and we haven't hit back to back + climo for 27 years (30+ if you take away the freak vet storm). We could do it this year for sure but that fact alone is a red flag regardless of just about every early indicator being in our favor.

 

I think we can still get a +climo/historical winter in JFM if the Nino patterns serves us well, just my wild guess though.

These southern stream s/w's progged by the models are strong and they're all picking up on them in roughly the same time frames.  18-19th, 21st-22nd, 25th more or less.  Can't go much beyond that.  We know we're probably looking at a marginally sufficient airmass for snow, at best, before the 25th.

Don't forget euro ensembles have a nice signal and the para also had it except for a stupid GL low causing temp issues.

With that being said, it's going to be dicey with temps regardless.

 

Quite likely... 12z GGEM looks like the classic "thread the needle" run as the low comes up at pretty much at the exact time the H in Quebec moves in

 

Will be intriguing to see what the ensembles say as well

It's been 27 years since you guys have had back to back +climo winters?

+climo = 150%

 

If you're doing 150% then 86-87/87-88 doesn't even work at BWI, as 1987-88 was only a mere 0.3 inches over climo. If you want back-to-back 150%, you need to go all the way back to 1977-78/1978-79 winters; and before that, the last one was 1965-66/1966-67. The last time we really had a string of several above average winters was in the 1960's and late 1800's.

12z GGEM has a Miller A cooking Day 9 and 10 with a 1006 L in E GA and a 1032 H in Quebec... I think it comes up some... not sure if it would be a southern slider (as in precip gets to us but not much further north)... its VERY juicy and its pounding snow in W NC/S W VA at 240

 

It's definitely not a southern slider...as depicted we would get smoked with that track..Western NC and SW VA are already getting clobbered ..obviously doesn't mean much at day 10...the Para and GFS have it too, but it is warm rain.

Well downtown certainly has more good restaurants and bars than way out west.  That almost outweighs the lack of snow.

 

:lmao:

This seriously had be bust up laughing!!

 

 

Almost Wes.  Almost.

 

Nevertheless, more good bars means more choices to drown our sorrows when we miss out on snow!  Gotta look at the silver lining.

Also hints of -NAO developing going forward.

 

Was thinking the same thing, if that signal is correct in the ensembles.  Definitely appears to be ridging trying to poke up toward Greenland on a lot of those.  On a related note as others have said, that's one heck of a signal for a storm.  Whether we get any snow out of it remains to be seen of course, but that's some serious agreement among the members at that time range.
