  1. While I understand this is a single run of an operational model, the 18z GFS has a nice banana high on the Dec 5 - 8 event. That is a requirement for early season snow of any consequence, and difficult to get without Atlantic blocking. Good to see. More please.
  2. Some good MJO news. Hope this movements towards less Phase 3, 4, 5, continues. Can we just stay in 8, 1, 2 all winter please?
  3. I'd be happy with a 2" - 4" snow to rain event. Just get on the board.
  4. How many times have we seen good patterns at D11 go poof by D5, or get can kicked for 3 weeks then be so muted and torn apart the best you can hope for is 35 and flurries.
  5. Get the trough centered more west over Indiana and we might be in business.
  6. The Pacific looks much better on today's 12z Euro. No raging firehouse of zonal puke. Add a bit of a transient +PNA in there and we might have a workable window.
  7. Now //that// is decent. Good heights out west and some Atlantic blocking. Hopefully this isn't a mirage.
  8. I'd love something like 8"-12" of cold powder on a Friday night with no wind, then a nice reinforcing Clipper coming down two days later to top everything off with something like 3"-5". Deep winter and no consequences.
  9. Yes. Last night was a step in the right direction. Let's see if this holds. I would rather have a bunch of small to medium size events than one big event. I want to be home with my wife and enjoy snow, not locked in a windowless operations center for days on end.
  10. I'm smarter than that. Need a more pronounced ridge to scoop that cP air down on us.
  11. I love your enthusiasm and willingness to provide deep insight. Don't let my eternal pessimism get you down.
  12. West coast trough floods us with Pacific puke. Classic failure mode.
  13. The 12z Canadian ensemble would be my preferred evolution. Good Atlantic and Pacific with split flow. The Euro would be an unmitigated disaster and set us up for failure.
  14. Purely a qualitative thought on my end, but it seems like the 06z guidance is routinely dry year after year.
  15. You're learning. Good Atlantic, but terrible Pacific. We can't win this year.
  16. We'll never have another cold wave of that magnitude again in these parts.
  17. Unfortunately yes. This will be the seventh year in a row I'll need to mow in December.
  18. M1.94" storm total RSTM2 COOP site.
