[HoarfrostHubb]

I love Debbie's

Snack cakes?

[N. OF PIKE]

Lol dave. Just nice to have snow cover. We need to get those sst to fall

[OKpowdah]

Dryline event in January? I'm sure the chasers would take it.

AMS conference in Austin next week ... hundreds of weather geeks leaving talks to go chasing lol

man 18z gfs is so boring just aboulutley nothing going on just so boring! funny to see that low to the south that goes to the north then the cold just squashes is way to our south! first time we will have oo much cold air that hurts us! bummer may be things will change

[Mr Torchey]

gfs has some snow showers around nye and day, further north again for the mid week system, its coming north as expected.

[N. OF PIKE]

Ya that's how it goes a lot of times 4 sne guys, wrt upcoming pattern, esp along cp, too mild when there's storms, then when u get the cold its dry. I mean there is a reason we don't ave 150 a season. Let's see if we can get active pattern again

It's sort of wheat NNE had the first few weeks of Dec..pressed south over us..Should be cold enough for snow/mixed precip chances..Now that we have deep pack..and gradient/fronts are going to be forced south....I could see waves riding over Philly out thru Central Jersey or something like that.

We're in a good spot..The plains will torch..esp southern Plains

I think the snowpack has got to your head. It easily could be a disaster.

[powderfreak]

Upslope on and off all day

Yeah we can do ok in these FROPA/clipper/weak vorticity patterns. We can nickel and dime in that sort of pattern.

The temperature held in the low 20's all afternoon today. The wind blew the snow relentlessly, smacking me back in the face with it as I attempted to snow blow. Drifts three feet out there. Yeah it seemed like winter.

Amazing how cold today feels, just walked out to grab some wood and it feels bitter. Everything is relative of course, by the end of this week 33 will feel downright balmy amazing how we acclimate to temperatures so quickly.

simply stating that on the 18z gfs nothing going on for storms for us that is all. not sure whats hard to understand about that

One night Kevin is gonna look out his window as he goes to take a leak, and he's gonna see myself, Will, Ryan, and Ray flying down those trails.

3 nude mets and a weenie sitting weenie to butt on a toboggan is something I never want to see in my yard

EC ensembles have ridging into AK and the ridging into Greenland. This helps force the PV SW, but also a -PNA so we have to fight that. However, that is a pretty good thermal gradient there...right over our fannies practically. That doesn't mean snow, but it could be interesting at times. I still don't like the look of it quite yet because it is too close for comfort. We really could use more Greenland ridging.

It sounds as if a negative NAO is starting to develop in the long range which the Euro OP runs also hinted at yesterday so that might fight an increasingly hostile Pacific mid-month. That might save us from a total torch until the large-scale blocking induced by the SSW takes hold. Especially if we have a poleward Aleutians ridge.

Looks like around January 10 it become active again. so we have a roughly 2 week break
