Guidance hinting that late next week could be first legit cold front 

That will also be our next chance of rain it appears. As modeled its a pretty impressive digging trough with associated shortwave energy. In the days prior to that we will probably have some of the dreaded October warmth with dewpoints creeping up as high pressure shifts into the western Atlantic.

In the ENSO thread they're saying that the warm blobs are in the wrong places for us.

I'm trying to live the lie that we still have real winters in this part of the world. Let me believe the hype for just a little bit longer.

Long range snow totals for GFS and Euro showing a lot of Canada getting snow the next 2 weeks. Gfs is way more excited about it 

let it snow (in canada)

I’m fine with a mild October. Nice weather for one, and cold Octobers here historically have led to warmer winters. Don’t ask me about the science behind it, but I’ve noticed it in the monthly data from KIAD when doing some analysis on it.

Agreed on the mild. I just want some rain. Last october was dry and gorgeous IIRC.  And good to know about that correlation!

if I remember correctly - we had a Halloween snow in the NYC area last decade (the Army football game at West Point that day was a winter wonderland - and Central Park was just absolutely filled with downed branches after) - and that led to a winter with virtually no snow.

You're thinking of the October 2011 event. Highly elevation dependent snow event for a good chunk of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic. The rest of the winter was total garbage as you said.

Ensembles all build a respectable -NAO D10+. Right now only GEPS shows an eastern trough response concurrently, but maybe EPS and GEFS move that way?

This is out first real chance at a test to see if the D10 favorable pattern actually has a chance, or if it's just a pipe dream.

Wouldn't mind seeing an h5 pattern like this in January. Spilt flow look with favorable NA and thermal boundary pressed just to the south..

Would you be considered at the zonal flow into western Canada? Would argue that's a Pacific puke setup to our north.

In January? Follow the flow. That better be cold enough with negative h5 heights just to our north under a -NAO. Otherwise we might as well just give up lol.

We've had recent winters where the pattern wasn't the problem, it was just too warm.

Sure. My original point was if we had the advertised h5 look on that run in January, there would be a chance. In this area, plenty can go wrong- and often does- even with a so-called epic look. No such thing as a cant miss.

Maybe I just hadn’t noticed yet, but overnight runs jumped on this coastal low giving us rain this weekend. Looking back, 18z Saturday Euro AI was the first run to pull it west enough for rain in the metro areas, but overnight 0z runs are really the first showing rain on the physics-based models.

Especially the Euro. It basically washes out the weekend. Of course I have plans so it's definitely a lock. I thought droughts were dry lol

It wasn’t consistent, but even before Saturday, there were some ECAIFS runs last week that showed the coastal threat.   I remain thoroughly impressed by what the ECAIFS can sniff out well before the physics-based models catch on.
