40/70 Benchmark

Looked like .75" to me.

Nice. My family had a trailer at a campground in Henniker for years...only Henniker on Earth!

Updated December thoughts...not much change. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2019/11/wet-holiday-travel-week-leads-to-onset.html

https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2019/11/wet-holiday-travel-week-leads-to-onset.html The early December storm depends on how quickly that ridging node over Greenland displaces eastward.....faster will result in further north redevelopment, which is pretty much what I favor. However more reluctance for that to cede ground is more of a sne swfe or even late-bloom redeveloper. I like Maine most for that. Changeable NAO early month should trend positively as the polar stratosphere warms, and the pacific grows more favorable. We need the Pacific to drive especially mid December onward. Thaw later December or early January as meager warm ENSO forcing fades, and Pacific grows more hostile in advance of any sensible impacts from downward propagating polar stratospheric warmth. (December 15 maturation)? I would give the reemergence of any polar blocking until a good 3-4 weeks after that December 15 date to materialize, thereafter we await blocking. December is Pacific driven, with any major coastal snows resulting from transient neg NAO node teaming with favorable Pac between 12/5 and 12/15. However I am more confident in major Archambault potential nearer the end of this period, as maturation of any potential SSW could enhance the MJO in phase 8 on or about December 15th. Thereafter, we trend milder. Pacific deteriorates late December or early January, and then we thaw while hopefully awaiting downward propagation of mid December SSW to take hold mid January. Second half is blocking dependent with more la nina like Pacific. Just my two cents-

You, yea.....questionable here.

Right now, I don't like it for sne. Ridge node over Greenland needs to hang in longer.

I understand that, but my climo is a few Inches and I saw merely a few flakes. Relative whimper...especially considering the magnitude of the cold. It is what it is.

Its been a whimper for SNE.

The back half of winter is going to be reliant on the NAO IMO. As far as December goes, I think there will be a wintery stretch, but the rubber band will likely snap back on any SSW and we likely go mild later in the month into January.

Nah.. too early.

I don't think it matters much until you get to maybe the Berkshires.

Pretty cut and dry, here.

Agree.

Man, what a waste-

I'd be stunned at 3-6" to the ORH hills.

Nothing supports accumulating snow. There is no "potential", as is.....

89-90 was one of my analogs....I think the NAO will flip back like that for a time once the PV recovers.

I almost had 100"...give me that seaaon.

I bet PNA replaces NAO...if not, then we thaw.

Ukie trended a bit warmer...12z had weekend system ending as flurries to I495....poof on 00z. I think people got carried away with the 00z NAM because my product reflects very little in the way of snowfall for sne...actually looks like the EURO with the Houlton, ME focus. Maybe an inch or two of slush for Monadnocks. Season should start in early December...hang with 'em.

Congrats, Houlton, ME on the EURO. Several inches...yay. Pretty consistent.

Key for a biggie will be getting a PNA flex to avail itself of NAO.

Agree. My first favored period is 12-5 to 12-19. Preseason is drawing to a close...time to man the blog with diaper in hand.

Ha...good stuff.

I'd bet against it mattering for 90% of the forum.
