That may be the best post you have ever made! Well done! This may end up being a December to remember!! It's not like it's 384 hours away either, it's only 312!!

There was a storm and cold outbreak I read about fairly recently, that hit the coastal areas of NC very hard with snow and the sounds even froze! I think it was in December!?

packfan98 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Anything cold and snowy is always good to see. However we should be paying more attention to the ensembles and pattern setup at this point. Has anyone looked at any ensembles for support?

I think it was in December!? December 1989. I remember that very well. 1-2 feet of snow I-95 and east, with nothing over the western halves of SC and NC. Wilmington got down to 0 one morning due to snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 18z ensembles in full suport of 18z gfs. sexy looking to say the least imo, plenty of cold and precip. Opportunities to be had, no doubt. Stay tuned 12z up next, interested to see euro ens in a.m., won't be staying up that late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cycled through the previous 4 runs of the GEFS and all were different in the PAC in the day 10+. Although, glass half full post might be that they all have slowly ticked away from the AK low. 18z GEFS is nice though...full ridge to Russia.

packbacker Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 The ridge to Russia on the GEFS runs today reminded me of 14/15 winter. Similar SST's....warm neutral vs cool neutral though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 0z GFS still on board with a serious winter pattern starting off with a big arctic high moving in by mid month. -30C 850mb temps over the plains. Split flow showing up so be on the lookout once the high spreads east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 ^ That will feel like winter, at least. Hard to get any storms in that fast flow, but it'll be nice to see the cold come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just now, SimeonNC said: The mountains will probably get some good NW flow, and there is always a possibility of an overrunning event in the mid-month. Yup, that is true about the mountains. I'm not sold on much of an overrunning event if the flow turns out like the one shown above. But we have plenty of time to watch it, and lots of options are on the table. Hopefully, we actually do get the cold in here. That's always the first step, IMO.

Models would not see these fast moving lows until within 5 days. So yes, lets get the cold air in here and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
