Well, last winter we had great patterns for snow and didn't really get to cash in on it. Maybe this winter we can have a couple of good surprise storms.

We had a couple nice snows. But there was so much more potential that was wasted.

Wow classic Brick..

I wasn't expecting much this year but I'm still holding out hope. Maybe the pattern will buckle and we can get a small window for something big.

We had a nice little surprise shower today. I really wasn't expecting much so the little we did get was a nice surprise.

As far as this winter goes, I'm really not expecting much but I do think it is a little early to be giving up on things. Remember the winter of 99/00. That winter was a very warm winter overall but we got that 2 week period where we got lucky and cashed in. And I mean we REALLY cashed in. Some more than others but you get my point. I look at this coming winter in the same way. We just need a little luck on our side.

And I've got some good rain falling as of 5:30. T

And..... (Nothing intended for you Itunis) I could care less...everyone is here...The people are what make the board.

We got some good rain too...bout 1/3 an inch....ICK on this mid 60's deal for temps.:thumbsdown:

glad to see someone got something from this front. I wasn't expecting anything, but a few sprinkles. Luckily my expectations weren't dashed. Now the moon has a very Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin look to it tonight, so atleast theres a little something interesting to see tonight.

Yeah, Robert, I got near .3....enough to get the winter rye jump started. But we need way more and widespread. At least last year around now we were seeing the occasion slow moving gom low. This season is starting kind of scary. Too much "nice" weather..boooooooo on 60s/70s just before Turkey Day.

Yep, I've been back in shorts today, and guess I'll have to run the window fan tonight. Right back into summer again. T

Suicide watch? Weenies jumping off cliffs? Not appropriate to make comments about that yet. I can see people saying such things when a model is showing a dumping of snow under 100 hours, and then nothing...therefore the suicide watch...but right now, those comments really make no sense, as much as some of you believe looking at any long range model makes no sense.

We get it. The thing is, we LIKE to look at models that far out...it's what we do when it's November...what would you rather like for a November disco? You tell me. I'm not speaking for everyone, and this post isn't directed towards anyone in particular, but I'd much rather prefer GFS talk about fantasy storms then complete silence on the boards and nothing to discuss.

Just remember, if you say it won't happen and it does, joke's on you bro! It's supposed to be fun, but "haters gonna hate" I guess!

even warmer yet on tonights GFS. The zero at 850 barely gets into the Boone NC area, only briefly overnight Friday night. The next storm begins to quickly take shape over the mid Miss. River region. The drought in western Kentucky area down to Louisiana and Arkansas should begin to quickly get eroded in this pattern, already been several good rains, with plenty more to come for those area. Eventually, it will be cold enough to deliver a big snowstorm over Arkansas, west Kentucky, west Tennessee region.

The GFS makes this next trough very deep , full latitude, heading into the Southeast strongly. We'll see, until it gets within a couple days, I'm not counting on much rain here.

Now it has a deep sharp trough instead of a more broad one. Still a lot of Changes from run to run.

it goes on to lift that storm up the coast off Long Island pretty deeply. I'd be willing to bet this won't be a full-lat trough, instead a sheared one, as time gets nearer, and nowhere near the wetness east of the mountains.

Never fret....the 6z GFS comes roaring back to pick up your spirits. But I wouldn't get any more excited about that than you were disappointed with earlier runs...

The roller coaster continues! At least they're all agreeing on some good rain next week...the only problem is I'm not trying to mow my lawn at all during the winter. arrowheadsmiley.png

Talk about a cold run, Man epic cold!:snowman:

almost a 1060 mb high in the northern Rockies.:arrowhead: . If the models can get the Pacific right, then we'd have a shot at turning much colder, but I wouldn't count on it until its a few days out. The 6z is nice to look at with its building ridges off the west and east coast, with the floodgates in the middle of the continent opening up for a continuous invasion of cold air + storminess.
