Agree, maybe a glancing cool shot early on, but Nov looks to be mild most of the month. Verbatim no pig on the EPS, but a more -PNA pattern will have us more on the mild side later in the first week or so.
Would be pretty cool to have a Zoom room from like 9- midnight within a couple days of a big threat as the models roll in
That sounds like a good idea!
I had company over as well so I missed this, but sounded like it was a good time. Anthony sitting in the cruiser eating takeout?
I guess you could do the ESRL composite site? My guess is that it will look like 1987 Zelda graphics looking at SST anomalies from that year.

This was the page I always liked, but doesn't go back far.

Yeah I think I had around a foot on Christmas, '95. Christmas '08 and '09 had a good pack, but Christmas '08 started to torch. I think in '09, best pack was down in SE MA because of the big storm earlier.
December would have made the grade a lot better. 2nd best locally and just a few tenths of an inch below '08 here. I'll take that anytime. Not too often you have a foot of snow OTG for Christmas around here like you did in 1970.
I looked up Jan '71 for here. That was a frigid AND dry month. The lack of moisture basically was the reason for not having a blockbuster month. Go figure.
Yes. Unless you have the Bering Sea to Gulf of AK trough to blowtorch the US, you'll get volatility with the propensity for very cold airmasses to enter the central US.
