Already another 4” today at the upper mountain spot.  Hammering around 1”/hr.

Pretty wild the differences that evolve between the GFS/Euro moving past like D4-5...first with strength/orientation of several features and then flat out how the pattern evolves. Here is to another winter of this crap I guess

Just light non-accumulating snow here. Deep winter feel though with ice dams everywhere lol.

Jay claiming 18" this week. Looks like decent off trail already

Longer range teleconnectors like Dec 1-5th for winter implications

pretty significant -EPO is likely with the Pacific jet retracting and then breaking equatorward. that's going to have some staying power and will be able to tap into true Arctic air

[leo2000]

Getting a better Pacific as we head into December can't have both a good Atlantic and Pacific have to lose one rather lose the Atlantic anytime over the Pacific anyday. Still a decent atlantic too though it seems.

Funny, on meteorologist. Gil Simmons live blog he does every morning. He mentioned this morning that he's really liking the period of December 9th through the 14th. Kind of bold going out that far at this point. He also did mention a couple of earlier chances as well. All good signs at this point

Getting in rare territory at the stake with only 3 of the past 66 years having more depth at this date

You NNE guys live on another planet up there.  Unreal....The pictures are awesome

I think the final week or so of the month could be above average but I can see things kind of changing moving through December...but we all know how this works. We've seen plenty of times these last several years where models break down patterns and yield favorable looks past D10 and it never verifies. My really main worry with moving into December is we get wave breaking across the west coast then troughs begin to weaken and lift northeast while pumping up a ridge out ahead. The ridges won't be long lasting but will be timed with storms and then we deal with cold on the back end with snow showers while ski areas up north cash in. I get very, very cautious when it comes to needing the PAC to breakdown. We need to see something in the short term that indicates this will happen. Hopefully we can win with threading the needle early on.

I could see that as the cold loads out west first. As it always does when these patterns shift.

Yeah Euro has a wild cutter-torch pattern around then

The changes as we get past the Giggedy holiday are top latitude down ... The -WPO/-EPO totality is a big dawg hemispheric reordering. It actually originates from the the retrograde of the NAO across the Canadian archipelago ... to reposition into the Siberian-Alaska arc.   

That evolution drills a negative teleconnector down the Spine of the Rockies, first.  This causes an upward height burst over eastern continental mid latitudes.

- the Euro is too dramatic with that.

- the GFS looks suspiciously like not enough. 

Obviously this is all waaaaaay the fuck out at the temporal event horizon ... beyond which there be dragons! Buuuut, at a base climate/statistical level, if these teleconnector prognostics are correct with the higher latitude blocking reconstruction taking place, turning warm for 2 or even 5 days whatever over eastern N/A mid latitudes is solid fit.  It's a matter of how much or little.

not bad looking

Just had a burst of rain.and snow that was fun while it lasted

What was fun about a light rain mix exactly?

Seems equivalent to when the sun comes out here for 30 seconds at sunset in late April after 3 weeks of clouds. 

[powderfreak]

Just keeps snowing.

[dendrite]

Ironically we currently have a rain/snow shower. 
 

37.6°

Same here. But the difference between here and Whitefield is pretty amazing. My backyard above, and 10 miles away in Whitefield below.

Here it’s like 2 miles and you’re out of it.

Last night’s and today’s snows were above 1,100 feet mainly.

Wetter 2-3” depth in town compared to like 6-8” fully caked at 1500ft.

Awesome. I’m guessing you clean up nicely there each winter?

Sorry for delay... It snows at lot there...1860  foot elevation at foot of Whiteface- not like the Green Mountain Spine- but just keeps chugging along. Last year was a good year for duration- basically no rain from early Dec- Mar.  Was damn deep in the woods!
