maybe because it's the first potential one of the season... we probably are all itching for the first big one so there's a tendency to get overly excited.

I guess, but I don't see the use in getting over amped right now. There's so much uncertainty and each of the guidance forecasts are so conditional on certain pieces falling into place. This is being proven to us on a run by run basis as we see the inconsistency with the blocking regime to our north. I think ultimately, as I gave away in my thread yesterday, this is our first real shot for significant snow...but there's still a ton of questions left to be answered. Day 8-10 threats don't do it for me after the debacles I've seen on these models inside 72 hrs.

There will probably be a storm in this time frame, the NAO rising from strongly negative to less negative is a good indication of a storm, usually. Also a less negative NAO would favor less suppression. This isn't like last winter where we had a consistent huge block and major confluence holding the storms further south. This storm will most likely end up closer to the coast and further north than depicted. It's a very fine line though and these early December systems have to be timed pretty perfectly for I-95 to see big snows.

Afterward, I see some moderation and then perhaps another big cold shot between the 15-20th. There is a lot of cold up in western and central Canada. If the block and NAO become a bit more negative around then, then we'd have another storm threat with a big shot of cold air right after it.

I've heard a lot about DT since joining Eastern back in February and just as much after transitioning to American. Where can I find his blog? I'd love to see what all the fuss is about.

His website is wxrisk.com and a lot of people comment on him because of his interesting personality. He is very sarcastic and sometimes a bit of an ass but he knows his weather. He also has very strong opinions and tends to get very bitter when things don't turn out his way. That being said, he usually has really amazing analysis and I have learned a lot from him. He coined the "weekend rule" and has many good resources on his website with regard to winter storms as well.

You know why the weekend rule works so well? Because it includes Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Based on this alone, it has a 4/7 chance of verifying.

Pretty much what I've gathered from the comments posted about him. I really haven't seen anyone criticize his forecasting, just his demeanor. Thanks for the quick profile.

Hey...I never said it was such an amazing discovery I'm just saying it is something he stumbled upon. Also, I'm sure at some point you have taken a statistics course, if it was 4/7 days (which it isn't because the storm has to start or end on fri sat or sun which is 3 not 4...) then there should still be a 60/40 split between KU storms on the "weekend" and during the week. And we all know this to not be the case. I haven't looked at it in a while but it is something like 90/10 or something ridiculous like that...just saying

I've seen the other models in the 12z suite, I just had to go to other regional threads in order to see them and the analysis. Which sucks. Where is Earthlight? Metfan? 4DVAR? The other 10-12 regulars from Eastern? C'mon people. Snow might be coming, DT is honking, GFS SE bias in in effect, and it seems this regional board is asleep.
