Logan11 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Let's face it Pete...October snowfall doesn't really matter. You can't ski on memories. LOL Just about there now. Chin up Blizzy, it's always darkest before the dawn. Good things will happen, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Let's face it Pete...October snowfall doesn't really matter. You can't ski on memories. LOL Post of the year Kevin hit the nail on the head this morning, at some time you just have to give into reality.....it will get cold and snow eventually, just not very much. 12/17 and Okemo has 16 out of 119 trails open with only a dusting of snow on the ground.......Pete will claim XXX winter, reality is perhaps warmest ever.

CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 LOL, the GFS op depiction of the storm next week is one of the top 5 worst things I've ever seen. Absolutely no cold air to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 With the track of that low, It would be a decent SWFE event, But it has all the precip on the SE side which is really odd, It would be some rain/snow up here but its warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 GFS tries to get a low going well to the south near 12/23. I suppose that's the hope near the 24th as the PNA ridge builds, but the chances aren't very high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 GFS tries to get a low going well to the south near 12/23. I suppose that's the hope near the 24th as the PNA ridge builds, but the chances aren't very high. At 150, SE VA (southeastern Mid Atlantic) is getting in on some snow. Norfolk, VA white Christmas? I hope they do get some...maybe it will put some posters in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organizing Low Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 got into ottawa for the weekend, its pretty cold today (14F currently) and there is a dusting of snow that came with the front last evening....biggest event of the year lol.

CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well with the PNA going +, we have a brief window on cstls, but +AO will make it tough I think. Something to watch, I suppose...but I don't have a ton of hope as of now. Maybe the rest of the guidance improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oh it's cold today here... 30 degrees at noon qualifies. It's just one of those diabolical patterns where we lose the cold air just in time for every event. I've been in winters like that before over the last 40 years.

Logan11 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's like there is a rule this winter.. though shall not have moisture fall into cold air. LOL I think the lack of any high pressure to the north is a big problem.

usedtobe Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's sickening to see the EC ensembles. If it's sickening to you, just think how it would be for me. Luckily, I don't see it but then the things I do see still are pretty awful patternwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 LOL, the GFS op depiction of the storm next week is one of the top 5 worst things I've ever seen. Absolutely no cold air to be found. and to make matters worse this run has the storm moving right along the S New England coast and almost no QPF up in C/NNE for the ski resorts. So even if it was cold enough this run doesn't help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 yep Gene ...that does seem suspiciously dry up here, but who knows this winter. 30 and snowless here --except for a the slightest dusting. Our meager few inches was wiped out on Thursday. and to make matters worse this run has the storm moving right along the S New England coast and almost no QPF up in C/NNE for the ski resorts.

Logan11 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Sometimes when you get a cold trough in Europe it foreshadows something in the NE US.... maybe this indicates something better is going in in the northeast Atlantic....

dendrite Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Next Thu is really warm on the EC op with a fropa after ~8C 850s. Any cold we get is pretty much wasted.

I guess I better cancel the "warmer shorts" and say smaller speedos instead.

Damage In Tolland Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Give up on this winter guys. Seriously..get away from the wx ..Find something else you enjoy to occupy your time this winter. Our favorite season..one we wait all year for is shot to hell. Long range forecasts are only right when they go warm..Never cold. It's a waste of time this winter. We have nothing to look forward to wxwise so enjoy yor families or whatever it is that you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
