I totally guy it...man, like exactly the PT pattern that I expected to develop around the holiday and well in January.

I think the next window opens in mid January (ducks and runs)

I can not believe that I am coming out of this pattern with 3.75"...less than NH and the cape....just unbelievable. 

Yeah about 2” here. Bent over again. But cheer up, Mansfield stake at an all time high. Boing!

Would still need some improvements but doesn't seem like much in order to get some front end snow on a couple of these systems traversing down from the Lakes through New England. Obviously we want to see some shifts but we are still 7-10 days out from the next period of interest. This is not a big storm pattern that's for sure

That’s definitely possible. Would need a front ender or else we’re rear ender.

Yes, I think we will avoid getting shut out next few weeks...couple that with improving climo and the next few weeks will probably still be snowier than the last few.

I know you are into that, but I don't give a rat's ass about the negative departure if it doesn't snow.

There are 16 days left with a volatile pattern evolving. Way way to early to throw in the snow towel for this month.Way way too much cold around. 

 

The junkies don't see their next fix and are jonesin hours after the last flake fell. This place is bonkers

No, I agree front enders are possible....just sucks to be where we are after how cold it has been, and now be relegated to hoping for a couple of inches of slush before it washes away and we add to the snow stake.

I told you my 1989 story.  Imagine not seeing any accumulation and -17 for the month

Maybe snowpack? Otherwise odd to me.

1000hr 2m temps. What could go wrong?

It looks like it wants to be warm in the Great Lakes too, but it’s popping big neg anomalies over Lake Superior. I could see that in the spring, but don’t understand how the lake helps them pull neggies in Jan.

This definitely isn't like a ratter pattern and I think the season is over...I still like the season as a whole, but now we enter into a decidedly more unfavorable regime for a rather extended stretch after squanders.

Depends what your needs are and what makes you satisfied. I've been very happy with the season start. Having the well below avg cold has locked almost everything up ice-wise except for the big lakes. So much better than getting bombed with early snow on top of unfrozen ground. I'd say this is the best start for prepping for snowmoblie season in a long time, but, I'd be lying if I said seeing the cutter on friday won't be disappointing. Had that been snow, there would be some nice early season riding in several areas. Hopefully after friday we can get to more seasonal or below avg temps and build the pack late in the month. Squandering for me is if we go high and dry first half of Jan, followed by another cutter. That would be painful.

Well...snow. You have had a decent amount, and I haven't.

The sequence this December has summed up my climo since 2018....this exact sequence. 12/2 nailed areas JUST to my north....like legit 3-5 miles, then the mid atlantic gets a couple, followed a closer graze that nails southern portions of the region. Now we flip back to a NNE pattern that will focus north of me. Just relentlessly frustrating, aside from maybe 3 days....1/7/2024, 2/1/2021 and 12/6?/2019. I get something from both extremes, so I avoid the cellar seasons that SOP has gotten, but have an unmatched streak of overall futility (7 consecutive seasons of greater than 10" below average and counting).

Can we just get like 5-6 more systems like this past Saturday, except maybe a few inches beefier? 

Every year I get excited to see that the weather will be like around Xmas in the hopes that we'll get something that leave everyone stranded at grandma's, but that hopeful period  of blissful ignorance is just about over.

Every year I go into the Christmas weather period with such high hopes. I never learn, it’s a sickness.

Yup. 

I know every now and then we all debate on would you rather have one big monster storm for the winter and little outside of that or a winter which is composed of many, but small events. There was a time I would have preferred the former, but I think I would prefer the later (I mean the true preference would be many smaller storms but a few big monsters lol). In general, winter and cold suck...but getting snow makes it tolerable. Give me several 2-5" events and winter will be more fun to deal with
