The full list since 1950 (if you include the borderline '81-'82 year) is:

1955-1956

1961-1962

1964-1965

1965-1966

1967-1968

1968-1969

1970-1971

1978-1979

1981-1982

1984-1985

2008-2009

The average snow for New Brunswick NJ for those years is 27", which is not bad at all. In fact, several of those winters were 30-35", and only 1 year out of the 11 there was a stinker with under 20". The majority were within the "normal" range for this area, 25-33". That's what I'm expecting this winter to produce - about average snow.

not sure how much we can trust them but it would appear that the gfs ensembles still show a lot of bagginess behind the frontal passage indicating low pressure can still ride up and give us a storm. Also def. hinting at a pretty potent 500 low coming down out of central canada for the potential miller B.

This pattern def. has potential.

Any time you have a piece of a 500 vort in eastern canada break off and drop into a deep cold trough you have a potential powder keg, especially if it meets up with ANY kind of energy in the base of the trough. Waters off the coast arewarm, so if something does pop, look for explosive development, with the usual coastal locations fighting the change over battle depending on winds.

There's a big GOA low and while there is a west coast ridge, the air source is hardly arctic.

Highs in the 40's in late November zomg the cold is coming! :lol:

(I kid...seriously, it's going to be cooler out and likely below average by a few degrees for highs but 40's in late November is nothing too abnormal....we were in the 30's two years ago at this time...that was a bit more unusual compared to the post-Thanksgiving cooldown that's coming up).

The NAO is insane on the ECMWF.

GFS has a better trough axis and nice ridge out west and sharp trough directly on the east.

December.... will be our friend if we get the polar jet to dig south (to compsenstate for the lack of Subtropical Jet flow).

Where do you see highs in the 40s after Thanksgiving?

If 510dm heights produce highs in the 40s (which I am sure he means high 40s because low 40's are almost 10 degrees below normal) then we'll never get cold in here.

Basically. Now, understood that it will be warmer at the end of November with that kind of pattern, but those heights probably support low 20s for highs in January, which does NOT equal 40s in late November.

It will be cold. I just hope that it's not cold and dry and then warms up in time for the next decent storm.

I wonder if the models are having a hard time trying to figure out the storm for next week because of the blocking. This also happened last year, where the models were all over the place.

That and the fact that there are so many waves in the train. We won't really know until about 60-72 hours where a storm is really going.
