Optimism? What did you do to the real Ji?
-
I can absolutely understand the anxiety in the annual winter long range threads. Each year our window for any sensible winter gets smaller and smaller it seems.
-
Last winter we were pulling ticks off our horse in January. Went back and looks at the data from my cooperative site and noticed we hit the mid 70s. . .
-
Low of 22°. The four inch soil temperatures have really cooled off. Out petunias finally died with this freeze.
-
Yup. All hail The King™ of snow storms.
-
This is also mentioned in the Northeast Snowstorms books by Kocin and Uccellini. Some of our biggest "surprise" winter events were not detected until we got inside D4.
-
Agreed. I wish operational guidance would stop at Day 7. Too much extrapolation beyond that. Let the ensembles take over after that.
-
Wonder if the long range stuff is models reverting back to climo state? We saw that last year where beyond D10 guidance kept trying to advertise a solid pattern that never materialized.
-
If we're not in the 50s on Christmas this year I'll consider it a miracle. Christmas 2015 we had Praying Mantis out and daffodils coming up.

Good to see
-
Would be nice to get 3"-5" regionwide then a dryslot. Then we get back into cold weather in a day or two. Just don't want it immediately melted off or washed away.
-
Heisy coming down to post in our threads is never a good sign.
-
Yup. Wind direction matters. You get a screaming east wind and it's sleet city. But turn that into a north-northeast or northeast wind and we're draining cold air from interior New England. Geography matters.
-
You wonder if the Canadian and GFS are better at handling the NS energy and therein homing in on a threat quicker than the Euro?

Major Lake Effect Snowstorm: Nov 29-Dec 4th
Eskimo Joe replied to BuffaloWeather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Congrats New York, you made the Japanese news. Really incredible stuff ongoing there. -
IIRC, the GFS outperformed the Euro with the 2016 event.
-
^Oh yea big 1030+ high baby.
-
Keep the Alaska/Inside Passage Ridge and we're going to score.
-
Our source air looks primed.
-
Yes. That would meet or exceed climo.
-
Yup. It's like old times. You come home from work under an ever increasing cirrus shield and a setting sun. You step out of the car and it's a cold, dry evening. Absolutely still. That night you take the trash out and it just feels like snow. The kind that brings the onset of deep winter.
-
Yes that's excellent. Big high with cold air draining down from interior New England. Cold air damming all the way down to South Carolina. It's like a KU look.
-
12z GEFS and EPS are nice. Nothing to sneeze at. Glad that chance of an Alaskan trough seems to be a fluke.
