No worries . None at all

This is how you know the system is in big trouble...didn't even try and spin it by saying the GFS and ensembles and the GGEM were all good for us...instead deep down you know that the Euro showing nada is a big blow to this system's chances.

This would either be an amplified cutter or a sheared out mess. How sheared out the mess is is the biggest question but it's clear the ceiling with this event isn't that high. The 12z GFS may have been that ceiling. It's not impossible to pull off a GFS solution, but it's clear that the trend is for increasing confluence to shear this thing apart.

No seriously, not at all. I remember several times in the past when you've used the term meat grinder only to have us get the snow, sometimes as we know the euro is too aggressive with the confluence. We think this is one of those times.

Give me some examples.

It might be too suppressed, but its been trending that way the whole time. Its not like it started out suppressed and then it starts coming in stronger/amplified as we get closer.

We still have 4-5 days so it can still come back but it better do so in the next couple of runs...once we get inside of 84 hours on the Euro, its lethal.

I can't think of exact systems , but Xmas eve storm on Cape on early 2000's was one.and there's been several clippers over the last 3-4 yrs where the Euro did this and then brought them back as we got closer

LOL...and then there are those times when the Euro has the storm to the north and you say it is too weak with the confluence.

So you think the GFS is right?

-AO tanks which means the arctic is ready to unload. What stopped this from being a lakes cutter is the combination of a -NAO/-AO combination. The PNA west based ridging over the NE PAC and western CONUS would allow phasing, but the confluence and sheared out flow over the Northeastern US and Canada won't allow such phasing, and therefore a cutter is less likely. -AO saves us from torching with a lakes cutter, but instead might be the reason we get a sheared out mess heading our way. The -AO is both our savior and nemesis.

Hardly a baby step improvement. I still can't believe the difference in that area NE of Maine.

Yeah that was not an encouraging run. Still a ways to go, but we definitely would have liked to see better than that.

Its still hard to remember how darn early it is. This would be a 2nd November snow event this month if it panned out. In many good seasons we don't get jack until mid-December...like in '07, 12/13/07 was our first storm over a couple inches. '08 it was 12/19/08. Hell, 2010 we had to wait until near Christmas.

Its funny though, looking at this run and then the posts over the past day or so...I was thinking:

1. The 240 hour map just made ZNucker go into a seizure.

2. Powderfreak is trying to pretend that man made snow is still awesome after 3 weeks...but is eyeing that lift cable with each storm that misses NNE.

3. Kevin is using up every last ounce of delusion to pretend he isn't concerned about the Euro trending flatter as we get closer.

4. LL is going to start making a blizzard of posts soon on the mild period for early December.

And all 4 of those ideas are locks. It is early, but I think people are antsy and you can only rationalize so much. As much as you can throw out stats on late November climo an early December climo...telling people not to worry about a 3 day mild up...they'll always be some that go over the top.

Dude you know our wx is very similar and comparable. Sure ORH is a bit north so a little cooler annually, but the overall temp climo wise is not more than a degree. We should do a 1 yr study.

everybody knows your game. 100% emotionally driven forecasts and you use ORH in the winter and BDL in the summer

How does December look overall? My impression of the pulse here is that we had a good period followed by a warmup before a reload later in the month. I don't know how to read the znucker comment, does it now look better or is it looking worse for December?

I'm doing the same as you will...just remembering how early it is. Two of the last 4 years we weren't even open on this date (not even close)....and believe it or not that 3" that fell like 10 days ago is still hanging on above 2K so it looks white riding up the chair.

14" of snow this month on the upper mountain and some upslope coming this weekend...and chances for light snow shower accums this week will make the last week of Novie feel wintery.

I will admit I'll feel even better if I can pick up 2-3" at home this weekend from upslope squalls to cover the grass in town.

Well December is starting to look quite good after the first week or so. It will ultimately be judged on how much snow there is which is impossible to forecast right now, but the pattern should definitely be favorable for some snow chances after that first week.

One good way to look at things is viewing anything next week as gravy. Maybe an oppotunity or two of frisbee throwing, and then a pattern that favors both colder wx and storms heading past week 1 in December.

You guys seeing signs of a wetter pattern developing? No doubt it will get cold in December, but you mentioned a stormier pattern...just more shortwaves or injections of tropical moisture?

It was hard to believe those 16-day GFS progs with under a quarter inch for all of New England but that's exactly what's happening, lol.

I don't see how a possible ridge out west and a residing -NAO don't give us a decent amount of precip. I'm not saying several inches, but the pattern has produced before in previous seasons. Of course not every pattern is equal, but it give us the chance.
