Very true...but Dews is a big time Nest Poking spoon..plain and simple. And it takes most(2/3) of the winter before any ramping up of sun angle actually plays any role whatsoever. He knows that..but just poked the nest, as always with that guy. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On to bigger and better things.. Well one can argue pessimism is more realistic vs optimism, if you believe long range models and forecasts for the season. If you want optimism 24/7, you can always strap on your footie pajamas and log onto accuweather forums. Most mets on here give their honest thoughts. If you want to follow them and weed out the noise, I’d suggest doing that. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowstorms Posted November 22, 2020 2 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Yeah anything before 12/5ish is probably going to have very little cold air. Best bet is post-12/10 on that look. Hopefully NNE and upstate NY can get an event or two before that though. It’s in our best interest to lay down some pack there. Getting a nice winter storm today. Could end up with a good 4-6" by tonight but it'll melt by mid week. The storm later this month is intriguing. If it pans out, I wouldn't be surprised to see our first widespread lake effect snow outbreak. That would lay down a nice snow pack across the Lakes area. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun is great..we have it here and it’s all good. But sometimes folks come in to see some actual discussion about what is possibly coming down the road...and aren’t in the mood for dumb stuff like ridiculous sun angle posts on November 22. Ya sure it’s no big deal, but he did that for just one reason...and sometimes some folks just aren’t in the mood. So I’m glad that Snowcrazed gave it back some...it was deserved. As I mentioned a few days back, maybe we start changing things up some, just as our climo starts to kick in here in SNE? That’d be nice. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The people I were referring to were Dr Dews and Damage in Tolland mostly, and I dont believe either are Mets. Anyway... I'm staying on. Once we get that first storm we can all track, I do believe the excitement level will erase all pessimism. :-) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnoSki14 Posted November 22, 2020 Things actually don't look horrific for early December. Definite +PNA signal with some ridging extending into AO/NAO regions & less piggish near Alaska. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First week of December will probably be a furnace across the CONUS even if we’re starting to see some changes in the PAC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 22, 2020 6 hours ago, Snowcrazed71 said: Okay.. But.. We seem to have model agreement from several of the big players that the Polar vortex will split, and from mid month December on, we could see some cold temps and possible snow events. Explain that one. And PS ... You're actually using the NWS and going with their forecast?? Okay..lol Model consensus that the PV will split? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
