Probably not. It Probably doesn't make it in the short term or mid term with the way the indices are setting up.

I'm seeing 80's of November on the GFS. Its definitely a possibility.

Moving forward this winter, I’ll be giving Google DeepMind quite a bit of attention. It’s been performing very well in the tropics.

I would definitely take 80s in November as long as we get a hard freeze out of the way first. Let the cold come in December or January!

6z gfs. Nuff said. There will be at least a period of warmer wx after this extended cool period but doubt that warm .

Your using a 300 hour map? Interesting.

If we can keep some blocking, we might score before Christmas this year

Im hoping so. Obviously way to soon to tell and we've seen patterns go to crap quick but I do like the look of the next few weeks.

That'll at least support Upslope. Even flakes into Valley's.

Yeah as you stated in the mountains thread we will see some high elevation snow the next 5 to 7 days.

I’d take one decent pre-Christmas snow over 2 in Jan/Feb. Nothing on earth can match the magic of a good Jeb walk around the neighborhood with a blanket of white and Christmas lights glowing.

That’s a bold statement… I agree

Honestly a lot of our best snows the past 20 years have been before or near Christmas storms. 

2009 big storm area wide 10-16"

2010 Christmas snow are wide 6-12"

2017 overrunning snow area wide 4-8"

2018 big storm area wide 10-16" 

And by area wide I mean WNC

2009 was such a fun and often overlooked event. I remember it started as a trickle that afternoon and just became an avalanche by dinner time. Cars center-bound on the roads, plows could accomplish nothing. Days of sledding and ice cold through Christmas. I remember family dinner Christmas Eve at our grandparents home and still having to scrape black ice off the driveway.
