I don't know. neither the GFS nor the Canadian Ensembles have the trough hanging back that far to the west at day 10. I wouldn't be surprised if the Euro is keeping too much trough out west. It does that sometimes.

Possible that it's too slow.  In any event, hopefully we get a good system whenever it ejects.

At face value, the Euro would be too far west, and could potentially give a lot of us rain if it were to eject from where it is. The answer lies somewhere between the two.

Something closer to the EPS mean is where I would lie at this point.

You think?  I was looking at that high pressure and thinking there'd be a band of ice in the transition zone.  Of course the high may retreat too quickly beyond day 10.  Anyhow, that is a lot of speculation lol

I don't like how huge the 500mb ridge is ahead of it even with the surface ridge over Quebec.

Looks like the GFS is showing Lake Effect snows for the Great Lakes states throughout Christmas week as well. As long as we don't some how get a big Lakes Cutter next week, it looks like chances are increasing for a White Christmas.

Latest GFS was a thing of beauty for the LES belts the next couple weeks, but with the volatile weather pattern we could still see rain as well. Looking forward to the interesting pattern

Had to chuckle...Just checked out the 00Z GFS run. It went from having a Low near Indianapolis with snow across Lower Mich next Thursday (18Z) to the Low now being up between Duluth and Green Bay. Lol...nothing like "minor" run to run changes!

This is way out in fantasy land. It would be a huge waste of time to even consider low placement at this range. I would just stick with ensembles and be happy that we have some support for storm potential coming up. Anything other than that, too early.

Last nights GFS runs were polar opposites. 18Z tried to bring the polar vortex centered over the lakes, meanwhile 00Z has a ridge in the east. 

Yup, I mentioned this last night. Not "freaking out"...more so entertained.

Definitely some potential the week of X-Mas, looks like some potential major travel implications with varying solution's from GFS. Last few frames on Euro showing a couple potentials systems as well. Will be interesting to see where the cold/warm battle ground sector line up with these potential systems.

Part of our subforum will see rain, part will see snow.

Where that ends up is the mystery.

This is a good pattern for 44N. Not good for most of the subforum though.

That's easy, right on top of me :weenie:

 As for temps during this time-frame, I realize this is an avg over the dates covered, but I like the look for mby (Lat: 42.25°N btw). Just need you to be off "slightly" with your guess, lol.

 

S and E has been this year's trend so gonna ride it with this potential as well.

Nice storm on the 12z Euro for next Thursday-Friday. Cuts through Lake Michigan and into northern Lake Huron.

As it stands, this is the warmest solution we have seen for next week's storm. Still long ways to go! I think the SE Ridge is a bit overdone by the models, especially when considering the amount of Arctic Air available across Hudson Bay and the EPO ridge out west. Lets see!

More energy in the southwest at day 10. Just load up the pattern with multiple chances.

I'm new here! I LOVE the weather especially watching the storms develop. :) Any luck that north-west KY may have a good white Christmas?

Hello.  Too early to say for sure. Climatology for your area would not favor a white Christmas but you never know.

I'm visiting Eastern Indiana through the end of the year. Does anyone think this area has a good chance for some snow in that period ?

Some snow?  Sure.  Will it pile up?  Well it hasn't in awhile so maybe we'll get lucky this year.  This area has been right on the rain snow line for cutters lately, usually on the wrong side.  20 30 miles can mean the difference between a thick blanket of white or one of slushy cold brown around here.  It'll make ya psychotic!    We see a lot of forecasts like the one for Muncie below, but hey, it does and will happen someday hopefully ;)
