When is it going to snow ?

My mom had a live-in woman, originally from Jamaica living with her for the past 7 months while she was recovering. She just got back from Jamaica last week (attending her sisters funeral).  Her entire (large) family lives in Westmoreland Parish in multiple properties.  We've been texting a bit over the past few hours (her, my fiancé and me get along and keep in touch). She said the eye went right over their properties.  They lost everything...Houses, possession. All of it.  No injuries though.

I wonder when in November (if we do) the pattern really begins to flip. I mean the extended GFS/Euro continue blowing the 576/582 500 heights well north into the country through mid-November. I think I made a post or two in the ENSO thread but (and this is not an official outlook or forecast) but I don't feel good about this winter at all. In fact, I would not be shocked if this ends up one of the warmer winters on record for the CONUS. Really curious to see how November plays out but we need something big/major (probably in the stratosphere first) to mix things up. 

I guess you don't write for the Farmers Almanac.

Hopefully the loss of life is really low or better yet, zero.

Right, your forecast wouldn't sell many copies. I'd be super happy with last year with more snow.

Relative to what ?   

I mean it just seems we're floating a +2 as our "cold" days ... 

I think Friday morning will T burst in the under belly prior to CAA late in the day, just adding...

We stopped talking about Melissa here but sure enough it looks like a hit is on the table for Atlantic Canada. St. John’s may get a good storm.

Crap day here. Socked in the clouds, windy, and some drizzle off and on. No sun whatsoever.

Even crappier day today. Sheet drizzle and temp upper 40s/low 50s.

So what do you consider a torch? A few degrees above normal. Torch to me would be something like 10 or more degrees above normal.

[WinterWolf]

Such an over used word anyway.  But I’d say 15 degrees above…is getting torchy.

I think confirmed is when it’s actually happened…considering it’s a week away, and hasn’t happened yet, it’s a poor word to use. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

been doing this all day

Of course not…he always sees things that really aren’t there…he’s afflicted and tormented with visions, and congers up prognostications that the Vatican calls…well, “Unholy.”
