HoarfrostHubb Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just had an impressive burst of snow and wind. 40.9F and falling -sn/ra. Darn. Just a couple sprinkles here. But I am watching a Warren Miller movie (Wintervention) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBASHB Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Most impressive gust we've had here was 24mph, but that was back at 9:50. 37.9/32 KAFN got up to 28.8MPH around noon. Local stations gusted 25-30 in the squall. Not really that impressive but it was cool being caught outside in itunexpectedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am watching a Warren Miller movie (Wintervention) Looking at the radar I thought the Hubb would be rocking a bit. Haven't heard of Wintervention but after watching the preview I really want to learn how to ski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Metherb..how much snow did you get in Stafford? I had 11.5". My folks in Somers had about 8" but I never measured...too much going on there. My family and I had been planning a trip long before the snow but after the morning of 10/31, I'm kind of glad that we had other plans. The power came back on Thursday while I was away so I guess it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerkshireWx Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 If anyone wants to be depressed, check out JB's column today---has a map out from the 01-02 winter (Water temps) and talks about the big flip to warm in Jan...ouch....any mention of 01-02 brings chills to my spine.... Unfortunately, I think he has a valid point. This is a bit unlike JB, since he usually has a cold, snowy bias. The SSTA maps from 11/13/01 and 11/10/11 do look very similar (see below), particularly with regard to the large negative anomaly in the Gulf of Alaska and the positive anomalies in the central and western Pacific. This setup implies continued positive EPO and negative PNA, equalling a roaring Pacific jet and persistent troughiness along the west coast. La Nina is also pretty similar looking, which led to a strong SE ridge that winter, and so far this year as well. Of course, the one major wild card is the AO and NAO. If these can go deeply negative for an extended period of time this winter, we may be able to push back the torch invasion from the Pacific and get a decent winter from blockiness, like we did for 6-8 blissful weeks last winter. However, so far I'm not liking what I see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerkshireWx Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 In terms of the north Atlantic, SSTA maps are not too warm when compared to last year with slightly above anomalies immediately around Greenland and colder than normal to the south in the north-central Atlantic. Since the NAO is tied in the SSTA profile of the north Atlantic, it may be tougher to get a sustained negative NAO this year if one goes by the SSTA profiles. Like last year, it will take a strongly negative NAO to push back the torch from the Pacific. Once the negative NAO went in early February, so did the cold, snowy pattern for SNE. If it weren't for this, last winter probably would've been a dud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnno Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just had a sleet/snow shower move through about a half hour ago, feels like November out there tonight, fireplace is roaring. Bad news from Granby the next town over one of our competitors shop's is fully involved in fire and the wind was making it a terrible fight, looks like much of it is a loss.

ORH_wxman Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The north atlantic has a very strong tripole configuration that is favorable for a -NAO. It looks more impressive than last year. Not that I would ever forecast a block like last winter, but a -NAO will probably be favored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what is shown on that SSTA map....Not to draw a comparison to 2009, but a very similar configuration of the tri-pole.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Pacific the way it is, it's going to take some pretty strong blocking to get a good pattern for us. It could certainly happen. A slightly negative or an east based negative NAO may not be enough to do the trick for us. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
