Cold Miser Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Any hope for a raging snow storm on the 16th when I'm at the Pats /SF game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Anyone who is getting their panties in a twist this early needs to take a deep breath and calm down. The average first measurable snow in Boston isn't usually until something like December 10. It's not at all uncommon to see a big dump at the end of December that dominates the snowfall for the month. I have a serious skiing addiction and will probably be near suicidal if we get another warm year, but I am still calm and optimstic. Nice! Welcome... always great to add more skiing mets and weather fanatics to the board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Any hope for a raging snow storm on the 16th when I'm at the Pats /SF game? My Dad will be there while I'm back at school studying for finals. I'm jealous, especially if there happens to be snow. Although my Dad would hate it if it snowed. Every Pats game I've ever been to has been fooking cold. The winner was a playoff game a few years ago with kickoff at 11*. Fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Mt Mansfield........ftw C'mon dude... you're stealing all my favorite posts. If you're going to write it, what am I going to post about? 35F and flurries at home right now. Looking forward to see how the 1-3" plays out later today and this evening.

Great to have you on board, name is awesome, and I too am addicted to skiing. As bad as last year was somehow I still found time to have a great year, funny how that works.

Chicago WX Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 That's a great snow for Chicago as modeled. Thinking more Milwaukee than ORD. Verbatim off the 12z GFS of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Powderfreak doing snow angels in upslope on Monday and Tuesday. Looks too progressive... probably end with a D-2" type deal. I need a stall at hour 144 with 968mb low over FVE, then we'll be in business. Probably the same with lake effect, no? It just keeps moving so the wind flow never stays stationary for long, not allowing for anything to truly develop. That looks like ragged lake effect bands and upslope snow showers but without the duration to really develop into anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not epic or anything...but the Tug could pull off a foot or two before the winds change. My best hope is for the strong to wrap up sooner and go a bit farther west. Or, maybe some decent LES on the warm advection ahead of the shortwave that follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wary and leery are fairly similar and can both be used there, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta get MaineJayhawk a photo and see what he can come up with. GFS does seem to shape up nicely after the 15th. Definitely a first half punt though, lol.

GFS does seem to shape up nicely after the 15th. Definitely a first half punt though, lol. 48/38 I don't even start to worry about lack of winter wx until mid-December, it's not worth the emotional investment. Meanwhile heating bills FTW. So far I've been able to heat with just wood this sesason, only needed furnace/oil for our hot water. I thoroughly enjoyed the cold nights and seasonable, sunny days of Novemeber. I'm still riding the gut feeling of above average winter snowfall for CNE/NNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMet Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Great to have you on board, name is awesome, and I too am addicted to skiing. As bad as last year was somehow I still found time to have a great year, funny how that works. What is your preferred mountain? The name is very self-descriptive. Mountain meteorology (specifically mountain wave breaking and secondary generation) was my specialty in grad school. I have seasons passes to Jay Peak and the Granite Pass (Wildcat, Attitash, Crotched). I spend most of time ski time at my ski club in North Conway, though I'll be at Jay Peak next week. I'll be skiing slush at Bretton Woods and Attitash this weekend and early next week. I've got my fingers crossed for some upslope flow late next week at Jay.

HM Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I love how before 192, it is all inland runners / La Nina / East-Based -NAO and then all of a sudden it turns into 2010 afterwards. Gee I wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
