December Medium/ Long Range

Bad solutions don’t lock in either. But the problem is we have a box about 100 miles wide (sometimes smaller depending on the setup) we need the storm to track. Anything outside that box is a fail. 
 

We don’t care or notice if it ends up 200 v 300 miles outside the box in either direction because the result is the same for us. No snow. The permutations that result in no snow exponentially outnumber those that do in any threat from range.

I’m looking at this through Tapatalk and seeing that the message sent weird… no idea what’s up. Apologies if that sent as something truly odd.

Just delete your last 2 posts. Kinda seizure inducing.

Show all scenarios winter model crap.  Low over Norfolk or central Great Lakes.  It continues ridiculous. They need to use NHC parameters who can pinpoint a tropical low 300 miles east of Puerto Rico and place  it correctly 7 days later ashore at Cape Coral   
We do have cold air so that’s good enough for now and maybe when we get to 24-72 hours we will have some accurate predictive tools.

It’s 10 days away.

That's 10 days out. It will change lol

I noticed this forum goes through a period of tracking rust early in the season where the general vibe is that it actually makes sense to track anything in that range.  I'm not even sure we've ever tracked a storm successfully 10 days out.  LWX couldn't even get the forecast for sun correct yesterday lol.  I know it's different than tracking an actual storm system, but yea.

However, I don't want anyone to get confused...I'm down for a snowstorm, but today is literally the first legitimately cold day we've had of the season.  It's early.

Euro and gfs (at least the ops) might be switching places. But this has always been a low confidence outlook, and I’m not holding my breath until we’re 4-5 days out, which takes us to next Tuesday-Wednesday.

At least its cold and will be that way for a while. Reminds me of the 1980s when getting cold air was easy, but snow was hard to come by.

This might be a good read for those who tend to get 'concerned' about the pattern shifting from favorable to unfavorable before we even get into the favorable period.

 

if you are trying to encourage us..that didnt really work

The pattern change is probably temporary is the takeaway. Why do you care if its milder the second half of December? It just doesnt snow much in these parts until after Xmas- that's reality. Let the pattern become favorable again when we actually have a chance.

To add to this, even if we go milder after 12/10, we still have a ridge over AK which should maintain our source of cold air. It's not as if the pac jet will ape and wipe out all cold air from the entire NA continent, like it did early last December and we had to wait 4-5 weeks until it finally reloaded.

The h5 look on the LR GEFS for mid month might cause some panic, but it isn't a torch look for the east. Surface temps are actually slightly below normal for the MA verbatim at the end of the run. The EPS h5 look is still quite acceptable for mid month.

Agree. More like U40s/L50s for the highs and lows around freezing or just below. Sometimes we can snow with that if well timed. 

End of GEFS run shows cold source developing even when we go mild. Wouldn’t take that long to get back into a colder pattern especially if it coincides with the MJO going into 7 and 8.

This is likely the story for the entire winter. One of the reasons I'm not bullish on snow for these parts and remained below normal for my forecast. Hopefully we can luck into a really good one. I do think that is on the table this year compared to some of our recent years.

Your contest numbers are slightly more bullish than my own…

I upped them a touch after my initial. I think we see a few events for the region and one could be a big one if all things break. I think a colder winter is plausible this go around, but of course moisture and timing will be our biggest hurdles. I think we see plenty of storminess east of the Mississippi, but no blocking will likely cause a lot of failure.
