  1. Keep us on the path to righteousness my friend
  2. @Cobalt yeah that could very well be. Some basic domestic cold isn’t enough when we’re permanently 5F above “normal”. If we get some of this very meridional flow from NW Canada in another 10 days or so and we’re still only getting lows in the low 20s and highs near 40?? Sheesh.
  3. Good points. I still think we end up probably doing well this month. But the difference between bad/decent/great winters is how often we hit on marginal events. If we miss next week, that might be the 4-5th pretty good if imperfect looking setup since Dec 1 that we completely whiff on? That’s rough.
  4. Yeah I think it’s a bit of both. This is some bad luck, which hopefully will turn around in dramatic fashion. But we are definitely losing marginal events over the last few decades. We’re probably trading that for more frequent, if still pretty rare, KU-class events. The climatological rain/snow line is moving north.
  5. Possibly going a solid month with barely a flake when the AO is around -2SD, even with a meh PAC, is pretty breathtaking.
  6. Definitely more consistency across guidance and not in a good way. Not much phasing from the northern stream so they are shredders. Lots of time to change still with the complicated pattern.
  7. Exactly. West coast is NOT blocked.
  8. From what I’ve seen so far, i think the odds of SOME snow Tuesday have gone up. The odds of a big dog (10”+) have gone down. Flow is too fast and too positively tilted to ride up the coast. Still could be a widespread WSW level event though if things work out like the euro or gem showed last night.
  9. I feel like we tried that before and it ended up just getting muddled and mixed up immediately anyway.
  10. Yeah, looks like flurries at least. Surprising
  11. Nice look on EPS. Let's reel in Tuesday and I'll be much more zen about what happens after.
  12. At this point, my preference is whatever will get MBY out of "epic disaster" for a snowfall year by the end of January. I'd consider that ~>=10-12".
  13. Could be setting up an epic RIC-PHL snow hole if we don't get next Tuesday between the southern storms and that Miller B.
  14. Yeah, I see it deamplify as it tries to climb toward that shred zone over New England. But with the 850 and 925mb lows passing to our south, I don't quite get how quickly it just nukes the airmass. All in all, a really good 12z suite pending the EPS. With so many shortwaves, I wouldn't expect anything approaching consistency until at least Friday or Saturday. We're definitely in the game though.
  15. 1030mb banana high over the top, mega confluence to the northeast, a low that tracks well to our south. And rain. Not sure what to say.
  16. And then it torches the boundary layer. Sigh, I don't know what we have to do to get snow here anymore
  17. Yeah, but also helps keep it cold. Trying my best! So many shortwaves...lol. But damn it's pretty.
  18. Through 114...I'm kind of in love. Famous last words...
  19. Through 102, euro's 500mb evolution is simpler than 0z. Somewhat like the GFS so far.
  20. ^I was having the exactly same thought yesterday and couldn't decide if it was my memory or not. But these 30+ day gaps with barely a flake falling from the sky are brutal.
  21. Historically this is the moment the euro comes in with "what storm" and there's not even a shortwave.
  22. Somehow GGEM gets close with a very goofy 500mb evolution.
