You tell the kids to go outside and enjoy the beautiful day. While you drink.

Regarding the rapid-fire posts in the long-range thread…

The reality is that most folks here don’t know what we’re talking about. We’re just weather nerds.

Not in the least. Most folks understand that and/or inexperienced posters just need to find their groove, but folks who have been around for a long time but still chat sh*t are absolutely unbearable…whether it’s the schtick they’ve crafted for years or not.

Wow. Big talk. Do go on.

Totally agree. I’m going to start putting the junk posters on ignore.

A couple pours of Weller Special Reserve for me.

F*ck’s sake. Can we just ban the absolute f*cking shite posters in the long-range thread? Even the long-timers. I hate this place some(most)times.

The new normal.

If the EPO does cooperate and we get the blocking that's showing up on the ensembles, then I think we do get cold and our chances start shortly thereafter, which is when our general chances at frozen start to increase significantly in general. While I realize that waiting a little bit for the pattern to favor us is much better than having it kick in earlier, I kinda wish we'd seen this like 10 days earlier so that we'd have a better shot at some white leading into Christmas...though I'm not going to complain about it if we do wait and it comes to fruition!

Cool discussion about past events in this thread. So...how are we feeling about what the GEFS is laying down and sticking with at 500 starting a couple days before Christmas? What I like is that the can isn't getting kicked on this and that we're seeing a chance that some of that cold in Canada bleeds in our direction.

The new normal.

True. It is interesting and significant, though not unprecedented.

I turned up my volume, and I swear I could hear a slight jingle.

This is exactly how I remember it. It was there for days, but then reality set in and it disappeared. But while it may have been anomalous, it was a dream to watch it unfold on run after run.

Is that the one which was showing a massive stream of moisture coming out of the Southwest and running over a deep layer of cold air for days on end?

I know you’re just a troll, but I don’t believe the term “false flag” means what you think it means.

It's only in the last ten years that snowpack started melting a few days after a storm. #thenewnormal

The new normal. Right?

Gotta admit, Chuck…and this is not meant in disrespect, but this is one of your most incomprehensible posts I’ve read yet.

GEFS is still trying to nudge the Scandinavian Ridge into the NAO domain as we get towards the end of the run. Would like to see some more changes in the Pacific, though we are seeing some higher heights getting up into Alaska.

Yeah...it's bumming me out, if I'm honest. I know it's been dry, but whatever. I don't care what the temp is - just give me a couple days of sun!

Makes sense. I'm guessing those lake effect areas would normally start piling up as we get into mid-December as cold air plows out of Canada and over the warm lakes.

Don't worry. It'll all get washed into the watershed with this weekend's rain. Like it was never there!
