Lol...what I originally saw was atrocious. I couldn't figure out why he had posted it. There were high heights all over the central and eastern part of the county and a big +NAO. I couldn't see what image it was just knew it looked like poo

I saw the same. But, I checked back at the ensembles and it did look different..lol...but I figured let it roll to scare some.

Lol at anyone thinking a cutter can happen in that pattern

You really believe a cutter can't happen?

I actually think its a fairly high probability that something goes west of us before the cold air can fully come southeast. That cold shot next weekend/early next week looks very transient...with the usual lake effect and orographic snow showers, before we warm up again and get a good sized cutter.

I actually think we sort of want this cutter as it looks to form a block and cause the cold to become more entrenched across the northern tier of the central/eastern U.S.... its behind that system that we really have a good starting point to get more wintery storms.

Quite the yo-yo on the op which I can envision, but a general colder push as time goes on.

Maybe I'm just making things up, but I think a lot of good winters seem to have that 1 or 2 big cutters in either late Nov or early Dec, and then winter starts up after that. The big cutters tend to stall out creating a nice block that forces everything after that under New England... I think we almost want that to happen because without a cutter to really pull the cold SEward (setting the table for winter storm down the road after that), we may open ourselves up to more interior tracks down the road.

If the blocking and -nao occurs as progged..then no there will be no cutter. Something will secondary or shoot under us or something. If blocking or -nao is neutral or weaker then yes there's a chance

Cutters happen all the time in NAO patterns. Negative PNA can yank the height fields and the NAO may not be strong enough to fight back all the time.

Well I don't have that stats to say that good winters begin that way, but the reason why it may seem that way is because the physics behind it allows for a -NAO. Basically, you sometimes see a favorable Pacific develop that in turn allows the pattern to feature -NAOs with the help of ridging and the associated warm push from strong low pressure heading into SE Canada. This is the kick start process.

I think some might be missing the whole point of this and it's getting muddied up by some claiming snowcover from now through Easter, and some claiming the hr 384 GFS op shows a cutter.

The pattern will change. Totally. Expect that. Wintry chances will increase heading into December and not because of climo. Expect that. Is it ideal, no...not quite and the direct impacts can't be determined this far out. We may be on the verge of ecstasy on the right side of the gradient..or perhaps be in a bit of agony walking the line. The -NAO is key and that will have a say. Based on what is modeled, I think we will need that greatly. Personally, I like the way things are looking, but it has some looks that I'm iffy on.

Sneaky scooter caution crabby flags flying

LOL, it's not caution just because....just going by a few things I see. It's fine for the interior and I like the overall evolution. I don't throw flags around for no reason, but I understand people don't like to see that. People only like to read posts about heavy snow imminent, but just throwing my 2 pennies in as a met.
