It doesn't mean we are going to definitely get snow, but we have a legit chance for events unlike when a pig pattern where the chances are remote. There's a lot of either deliberate trolling or just ignorance gong on here.....maybe we should break it down: Late November/first few days of Dec: AK pig pattern/torch....little chance for snow outside of upslope areas Dec 5 - Dec 15ish: +PNA/El Nino flavor pattern....legit chance for snow, especially from about 12/7 onward. Still a bit mild early on but getting colder as Canada starts to reload...esp by the 10th. Post-Dec 15th: Transition to more typical December La Nina? Could start rebuilding the Aleutian ridge. It looks pretty poleward though on early extended guidance. No sign of AK pig. More likely to see overrunning/SW flow events in this pattern vs coastals. But quick hitting coastals/redevelopers do still happen (see 12/25/17) This is obviously pretty far out, so it could change...maybe the El Nino look hangs on a bit longer than guidance shows (ala Dec 1975). We just don't know until we get closer. Here 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 It's almost like this 'uncertainty period' itself was written on the wall ...when the GEFs started hammering a PNA mode changes, but the EPS was/has been hesitating. So far - not sure this has any value but might ... - the EPS seems to be slowly caving to the +PNA ... that "might" be an indication that the Euro forecast system is more suspect - But it is hard to blame the EPS/Euro camp entirely...because the GFS has had its own continuity headaches too - ...I think it's just a bad model performance period of time and maybe the PNA rise, while the AO and NAO correcting negative ( which, where the hell is the blocking then ?) , during transition season no less... it may all just be too much. I thought the Euro's genius was that it smoothed noise but heh - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 1 hour ago, PhineasC said: That's true, but this last event was kind of silly with 55 degree rain all the way up into Canada and snow deep into GA. That's like upside-down world basically. Not quite as weird as the middle of my first December in Maine - 1973 - when we had RA and 56 in BGR while my parents in NNJ were 15 and IP. However, having a 7 AM temp that's slightly milder than the average low in late July is noteworthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned this awhile ago ...what this thing can't do - for the winter scenery enthusiasts ...heh - is be totally southern stream, or it'll rain everywhere beneath the summits. That ICON solution is rather fortuitously timed as a learning tool, because of how it summarily then jams that concept down one's throat... One can just see it in the thickness contouring there, that the N/stream 'failed' to capture, and the system is pretty clearly as Ray pointed out...conserved southern stream sounding as it rolls up underneath and evades intermingling with those pretty blue colors tauntingly avoiding it because the Germans hate Christmas...

LOL Yeah RE: the bolded.....we need to infuse northern stream into this in order to crash the thicknesses enough to make this matter for snow. So it's definitely a "thread-the-needle" system. Leaving the southern stream behind in the southwest and focusing on the 2nd northern stream shortwave for 12/7-8 turned out to be more useful like yesterday's 12z Euro....but it seems we're trending away from that now as the southern stream is ejecting and we're back to the 12/5 system which is tougher and probably causes too much interference for 12/7-8 should that shortwave even try to dig enough. So we're left with trying to phase the first northern stream shortwave with the southern stream for 12/5....all while not "accidentally" tracking this too far west at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 This is from my last blog update on Thanksgiving.....still like this time frame, as it offers a nice convergence between analog climo and current guidance. This turn of events would render it very likely that southern New England will experience a major winter storm by the end of the second week of December. This would be consistent with climatology from some of the active December analogs, as the first major winter storms in December 2007 and 2008 occurred on December 13 and 19, respectively. Anything prior to said time frame will take some luck....but it should be pretty fast and furious once we break the seal towards mid month. This is how I expected December to play out when I issued the outlook about a month ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup... and the N/stream ( just adding to your assessment there ...) is rather consistent as to when it dives through the Lakes. The 7/8th idea of yesterday had more "cold plausibility" ( if you will...) because the N/stream had a chance to time better... But this GFS solution seems to like the ICON and they are both now wrapping up a silver Nor'easter out of an entirely S/stream entity - or too much so to even work on marginality ...either way. I mean there's time... and, as this chart below shows, there is cold air near-by ...really close actually from a greater synoptic perspective, but it just won't integrate - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
