michsnowfreak Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Swirling sheets of snow (very small flakes, opposite of yesterday) and skiffs of snow blowing everywhere on the roads gave a very wintry feel this morning. Total snowfall 0.1" yesterday and 0.2" today, though it was never on the ground at one time like that. Essentially what we have now is bare ground with snow drifted against curbs and the edge of the sidewalks. But boy is winters nip in the air!

snowstormcanuck Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'm getting pretty sick of the EURO depicting a big storm only on D10. It's like an evil turd throwing a wad of cash tied to a string out of a moving car and watching the morons chase after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Could you expand on this? There are other factors at play, but a west based -NAO is conducive for a)flooding areas east of the MS river with cold air, and b)setting up a storm track along the EC. East based -NAO is better for those of us west of the mountains, but the presence of one teleconnector never completely rules out any type of storm, and that's assuming the EURO weeklies are right to begin with.

I kind of figured he was talking about the EC...but wanted to make sure since he posted in the Central/Western Region. The bolded section is what gets me. Before you read below...I'm aware that it's a "marriage" between multiple teleconnects... Allan told me once that a West Based -NAO is favorable to suppression. So...with the above in mind, wouldn't a "neutral" based -NAO...neither in the Davis Strait or UK...more Denmark Strait be better off for the EC?

JoMo Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Could you expand on this? It's better for the east coast but pretty terrible for everyone here. It will dump cold, dry air into the lakes though which will favor Lake effect areas, but other than that, most areas will be dry except for anything that can make it over the ridge out west. (clippers) NW flow really sucks and is usually a dry flow down in Missouri. If there is a west coast trough and a neg nao then you will get suppression and the southern states will get snow. (OK, AR, TN etc) The best for the majority of people on this part of the board is a west coast trough and a weak SE ridge. This would allow the storms to track into the west, form a low over the southern states to establish a good moisture connection and then head NE while strengthening and depositing snow on the NW side of the system.

Organizing Low Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 It looks like Toronto could get some snow either on Sunday or Monday from a pattern similar to that of early January of this year. retrograde season is upon us yet again!

Yeah just seen that.. Talk about some primo ice making weather. Might be driving on Bago mid-month! Quads for sure I bet.. did the lake ice over completely last night? I shouldn't get too excited as the Euro sucks that far out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneyman Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I don't think so. Yesterday the only thing that was completley iced over was the shoreline. Not sure about today though (I'm at my parents house) I'll let you know in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
