Yeah it's been there and it got better today. The NAO look especially is a nice trend. I won't believe t until I see it, but I'd rather see that than a black hole.
It phased these two shortwaves....which no other run has been doing. Probably overly aggressive. Euro seems to like to dive the northern stream too much at times...Tip often talks about this bias, but it would be relevant here.
Yeah...CP in SNE has almost no shot...interior SNE has a faint shot if things line up perfectly....NNE has a real shot, but still there could be issues if the Euro solution happens.
I'm pretty skeptical of the Euro solution though.
You can see the GGEM has a little bit of a better synoptic setup than the GFS up in Quebec....little high trying to feed down and entrained just enough cold air.
It's too bad the southern stream is ejecting now rather than getting buried in the southwest.
That northern stream shortwave is diving like crazy on today's runs for Dec 7-8, but it can't produce with the wave interference from 12/5-6.
Yeah RE: the bolded.....we need to infuse northern stream into this in order to crash the thicknesses enough to make this matter for snow. So it's definitely a "thread-the-needle" system.
Leaving the southern stream behind in the southwest and focusing on the 2nd northern stream shortwave for 12/7-8 turned out to be more useful like yesterday's 12z Euro....but it seems we're trending away from that now as the southern stream is ejecting and we're back to the 12/5 system which is tougher and probably causes too much interference for 12/7-8 should that shortwave even try to dig enough.
So we're left with trying to phase the first northern stream shortwave with the southern stream for 12/5....all while not "accidentally" tracking this too far west at the same time.
You'll have to post pics of your sheltered side of the house later in winter. I bet in late winter/earl spring (like March/April) you have situations where there's like 3-4 feet on one side of the house and that open field with southern exposure is already getting some holes in it.
The Dec 10-20 period definitely has some potential. Keep that PNA ridging more stout like on the 12z ensemble runs today and it will give a better shot at a legit coastal vs overrunning/SWFEs/clipper redevelopers.
