  1. Could the 8th offer a sneaky coastal? Models are showing more potential there and we have a tendency to see OTS systems trend west. There's also enough cold air around too.
  2. The only thing consistent is that warmth will always win out. 2000-2018 will be the best snow period we'll ever experience and it's all downhill from there.
  3. The strong PNA ridge could ultimately help turn the hugger into a coastal but there's little cold air to work with in general. Pattern change is a work in progress but there will be opportunities moving forward.
  4. Unless it's a strong cool down it'll always break warm in the long range. We cannot escape the reality of AGW.
  5. Very little run to run continuity. Ensembles are your best friend.
  6. Agree especially with the massive teleconnection shifts (+PNA, -AO/NAO) in a stormy direction.
  7. Best chance for snow will be during the retrogression or the Dec 6-13 period.
  8. 2nd week of December looks good. Would be shocked if there wasn't a plowable event or two somewhere in the northeast.
  9. I wouldn't be quick to assume the 2nd half goes all warm for us. I'm not sure many had the current developments in their forecast. It's difficult to compare this year to 80s analogs given how much has changed over that time. 2nd week of December looks interesting for sure.
  10. It's going to take a few days for that to be sorted out. I'd still go with the phased solution rather than whatever the gfs is doing. One thing I'll be keeping an eye on in the ensembles is whether or not the PNA ridge rolls over or not. If it does then we'll warm very quickly by mid December.
  11. Unfortunately if the WAR ends up being strong it'll be the Midwest that scores here. Still I'm liking the trends we're seeing. Ensembles are pretty good and actually push ridging further north as we progress in December. I'm stunned we're entering a strong Nina with this look. Very odd.
  12. That one seems like a lost cause. A big phaser could be good for us with regards to the pattern in December. 12z GFS OP looked good after the big Nov 30 phaser.
  13. A torched Canada is still cold. EPS/GEFS look good moving forward however there's not a ton of cold to work with. I do like that they're poking further north with the ridging.
  14. I'm not convinced that it's gonna be like 11-12 because the pattern is not fully coupled with the Nina. Last winter was already a 11/12 style winter. I think it'll be much more variable than people think.
  15. Can you imagine something like this hitting Miami or something like holy cow.
  16. So there's some hope winter won't be dead this year?
  17. Something could develop off the SE coast next week under the large high in the northeast. Models hinting that could become a coastal storm or subtropical storm as it moves north.
  18. It's like talking to a brick wall. You could present 1000s of examples and they'll make an excuse for all of them. Don't waste your breath.
  19. This sucker is poised to be a major (3rd after Paulette) and I have zero doubt it'll impact the US eventually but all those island interactions will complicate things.
  20. That would be the one to watch. The other one near Bermuda should be a nice wave maker if it gets to major status. PNA expected to tank which means strong ridging building out east.
  21. I see this year as a late bloomer. Late September through October could be very active with a rather late onset of Nina conditions.
  22. Also if we are back to the 30s-50s does that mean the Arctic was as warm and sea ice as low back then as it is now?
  23. Models are all over the place but the Euro likely has the best handle on things. We'll see if there's any consistency today, of course anything beyond a few days is a total crapshoot.
  24. Humans developed nuclear weapons that could literally destroy the atmosphere. We're responsible for mass ecological extinctions. You have to be a complete fool to think humans can't overpower natural forces but please stay ignorant.
  25. I'd be shocked if 99L isn't a storm by tomorrow. This is a well developed wave near peak under favorable conditions. Keep an eye out this could sneak up on models.
