And yes, I did my leaves on Thursday and Saturday as well. By Sunday...couldn't even tell the difference! The wind was howling. I did look at the wind forecast prior, but Sunday's wind caught me off guard. I am not doing leaves prior to a wind event in the future.

Much easier cleaning them up this year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 We ended up with incredible fall colors but they were all gone by the time the snow hit last Monday. They had about a week of vivid peak. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 All I can say is this...if you don't see me commenting about the LR pattern, there is a reason for that. LOL. The trend has not been our friend over the weekend. But it is the LR, and things can(and likely will) change again. I still think we go cold, but I don't have a lot of model support nor a lot of confidence in that. Cosgrove has to be feeling good about now - he made a good forecast. No idea if it is right, but it is well supported, and he made that when modeling said otherwise. If forced to make a call for December(and this could change), I would say: Week 1: AN to normal Week 2: transition to normal or cold Week 3: BN Week 4: choose your own adventure book 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 It looks like we "might" (famous last words) have some consolidation w/ the Euro Weeklies. It looks like the cold is delayed, but now holding for the last three weeks of December. Christmas(for now!!!) looks very cold on both the ensemble and control. It has been a while since the ensemble and the control have been singing the same song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 The can kicking has paused...and the control and ensemble are now singing the same song as noted above. They have recently been on opposite sides of things with the control winning the battle! I say that, because we kind of hope the control might be right today. Here the 32 day control run - temps are accentuated BN by heavy snow which falls after the 20th. In general, temps are 10-15 BN regardless of snow cover. This would rival any December cold outbreak. The second is the 7 day ensemble mean which is centered on Christmas. The 500 pattern is nice, especially after the first week of December. LONG way out there, but fun to look at... For those of you who are new OR are visiting from other forums, we often put maps to brainstorm/discuss, admire, or just for future reference. They are NOT forecasts at this range. I prob should have placed this in the winter thread! But.....I already have this ready to go, so will leave it here. If a mod wants to switch it to winter, no problem. Anyway, for new folks (or visitors) we kick a lot of stuff around in this forum. We are often not afraid to be wrong which I think is what makes this a great place. You can take a risk. Another great thing about this subforum is that we have no incentive to drive numbers with posts that you will see on social media which are designed to get clicks. If you see us post a map, we are just adding to the conversation. Never be afraid to ask a question. Unless the poster has a red tag(an actual meteorologist! thank you to those folks!), the rest of us do this as a hobby. Now, we do have a couple of folks here who have chosen not to get a red tag who are also mets. You will figure out who they are pretty quickly. I am definitely not one of those folks - just a fun hobby. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 17 Author Share Posted November 17 The Weeklies do mirror what @John1122shared earlier in the winter or fall thread(from Grit). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 The models are pretty reflective of the MJO. When they run and the MJO slows way down in 6, the warmth carries forward. The Euro is moving it to 7/8 faster than the GFS, which means cold arriving quicker by a bit vs the GFS. A weak SPV, MJO in 8, a cooperative Pacific, would mean cold and unfortunately, maybe dry cold. I saw another person talking about analog years and 1962-63 was in there again for them. It was 70s up until December 7th-10th time frame. Then it got colder and colder. This year had a similar October with a late frost, a similar November, with a cold and snow shot, then warmed up, it was a week La Nina with a falling QBO into deep negative. I also saw that in La Nina years when December had a -PNA, January almost always had a +PNA. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the itchy algae! Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Do we come here to discuss the Black Friday snowstorm?. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 18 Author Share Posted November 18 17 minutes ago, Save the itchy algae! said: Do we come here to discuss the Black Friday snowstorm? . The 12z GFS and to some extend the 12z CMC were flirting with an anafront. Worth watching as most modeling is now "seeing" this earlier cold front. Jeff mentioned it in the December thread. But I guess we prob should put the actual storm here(if it occurs). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago TRI will finish the month of November ~roughly +0.9F above normal. It was a wild month with wild rides. The highest high temp for the month was 71F. Four days later the high was 38F! The month featured a few days where wind chills were in the teens during the day. I have one tree which normally keeps its leaves until late December. It's leaves are all gone now - thankfully! The cold snaps and wind did the trick. We did manage about 0.5" of snow mid-month. I suspect our winter will mirror this pattern - extremes! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago We are around +1 for November. 1.5 inches of snow. The high was 29 on the 10th. Highest temp was 70. The warmest day was the 22nd, which was +18 due to its high low temperature. Today will probably end up around -8 to close the month. We were BN 16 days of the month and AN 14. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some area's remained below freezing that Day. The Month was near Normal. I wonder how John's Location faired.?. I think that is about right for TRI. It was basically a seasonal month for us. I did check several stations which weren't near big airports, and some of those stations had higher departures. I think higher elevations and folks w/ slightly northern latitudes were slightly cooler. During 3-4 consecutive mornings recently we had very heavy fog which elevated temps above morning norms. The final average for TRI is 0.8F. It came out this morning. We were about 1" BN for precip. Highs were slightly AN and lows were slightly BN(which probably runs against my fog theory!). That does kind of fit a slightly drier month than normal - like a desert in some ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
