Thank you for backing me up on this.

 

He and I disagreed and  your argument was that the flow was zonal and 4 days ago you said the LR would moderate 

The last 11 days in NYC were minus 6.8 which can never denote zonal . 

 

The blocking being further N as its an extention of higher heights coming out of the Kara sea .

Now like I have been saying the 6 to 10 is cold and the 10 to 15 is BN when the heights connect over the pole and you possibly change the source region 

 

Do you see the LR now ?

It's a very unfavorable pattern for snow, it's mostly a bunch of fast moving cutters or offshore coastal systems that can never amplify in this flow. 

We'll probably have to wait until late December for snow chances unless the pattern alters significantly.

In 2010/11 we needed a very strong blocking pattern to counteract the Nina's effects and it still took until late December before we got snow.

If the blocking this year is half the strength, then it's going to be a long wait. DT's outlook seems way too optimistic.

It’s not even thanksgiving yet , wait until December 10th and we’ll see how things evolve by then

You could snow by the end of next weekend / and if you don't it's November 

It's early and a lot colder than you thought it would be 

December could turn out to be a VG month

This morning parts of the New York City area saw snow flurries. Although the temperature was well above freezing, the flurries offered a reminder that November 2017 has had a greatly different meteorological character than the record warm October that preceded it.

Based on the latest guidance, there is an implied 71% probability that November will finish with a colder than normal monthly temperature in New York City. The most likely range would be 44.9°-46.4°. That would represent a 17.7°-19.2° drop from October. That would represent the biggest October-November change in temperature since the monthly mean temperature fell 18.2° in 2007 (and possibly since 1947 when the monthly mean temperature fell 19.4°).

This morning, the Arctic Oscillation stood at a preliminary -2.953. That is the lowest November figure since November 4, 2016 when the AO was -3.137. It is also the 3rd lowest figure on record for November 20, surpassed only in 1965 (-3.230) and 1950 (-3.041). The ensembles continue to indicate that the AO will fall below -3.000 in coming days. The downstream response should ensure that November will wind up with a colder than normal anomaly.

Going forward, I still believe there is a somewhat higher probability that December will wind up colder than normal in the Northeast and parts of the Great Lakes region. Much of Canada should be colder than normal.  The first 7-10 days could average somewhat cooler than normal in the Northeast and eastern Canada, although there remains substantial uncertainty concerning whether or not there will be blocking. However, all things considered, typically the presence of an SOI+ during the first 10 days of December (common in La Niña conditions) is cooler than an SOI- situation. The forecast temperature anomaly on the EPS for the 12/1-5 period lends support to this idea.
