Was a nice day... 57... Wind was a little chilly. Hoping it gets colder to keep the press away from my street since the deaths of my neighbors hit the news.

Yesterday was so nice outside. Spent most of the daylight hours doing various yardwork type things and refinishing and plasti dipping a set of winter wheels for the new car. And then it was BBQ time ... Tomorrow maybe a final round of golf and then put the new winter tires on Thursday before the weather gets interesting. See I brought it around to the weather eventually :)

I bought an X3 this past March after 3 long winters of driving a Mazda 6 and having trouble making it up my street anytime it snowed more than 2 inches or so. Of course after I bought it, it never snowed again, so I'm anxiously awaiting snow too!

Tomorrow will be my last clean up of the remaining little bit of leaves that have fallen then I'll put in my second snow stake.  I have one that is a year round snow stake because it doubles as a post for my manual rain gauge to verify the Davis.  Then do I put the snow board out....hmmm, probably too soon but not long for that.

A few events that may or may not occur during the next few days.

 

From Mt Holly, NJ NWS

 

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SETTLE IN OVER THE
REGION. HOWEVER, THE MUCH BIGGER STORY THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL BE
WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT WILL BE
DIGGING ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW. VERY POOR
MODEL AGREEMENT WITH THIS FEATURE. THE GFS SHOWS A PROGRESSIVE
OPEN WAVE TROUGH SLIDING THROUGH BY MID DAY FRIDAY. THE ECMWF,
HOWEVER, HAS REMAINED QUITE CONSISTENT IN SHOWING THE EVOLUTION TO
A CLOSED LOW BY THURSDAY MORNING OVER WISCONSIN, THEN LIFTING INTO
QUEBEC BY FRIDAY MORNING. WHILE THE DIFFERENCE WON/T MEAN TOO MUCH
FOR US WITH REGARDS TO TEMPERATURES, THERE IS AN IMPACT ON THE
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IN OUR REGION. THE ECMWF SOLUTION WOULD
SUPPORT A WINDOW, ALBEIT BRIEF, FOR LIGHT PRECIPITATION THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. WHILE THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD BE MOSTLY
DRY FOR US. ECMWF MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW PRECIPITATION TYPE TO BE
EITHER RAIN (PRIMARILY OVER MARINE ZONES), RAIN/SNOW (MOSTLY FOR
THE COASTAL PLAINS), OR SNOW (PRIMARILY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
IN NW NJ AND SE PA).EVEN WITH THE SNOW, PRECIPITATION INTENSITY
AND AMOUNTS DON/T LOOK TO BE NEAR ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ANY
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION. HAVE FAVORED THE ECMWF IN THE FORECAST
FOR TWO REASONS. FIRST, IT HAS BEEN RATHER CONSISTENT RUN TO RUN.
SECOND, GIVEN THE STRONGLY POSITIVELY TILTED ORIENTATION OF THE
TROUGH EARLY ON THURSDAY, THE CUTOFF SOLUTION SEEMS MORE LIKELY.

SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OVER THE REGION BRINGING A MOSTLY
TRANQUIL, ALBEIT CHILLY, DAY.

SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...STILL WATCHING A PAIR OF LOWS, ONE RIDING UP
THE EASTERN SEABOARD, ANOTHER SLIDING OVER THE NORTHERN TIER OF
THE U.S., FOR POTENTIAL IMPACTS OVER THE REGION THROUGH THIS
PERIOD. AT THIS POINT, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ATLANTIC LOW WILL REMAIN
CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST TO BRING A WARM FRONT NORTH THROUGH THE
REGION LATE SUNDAY BEFORE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. AM A LITTLE HESITANT TO COMPLETELY JUMP ON BOARD WITH
THIS SOLUTION HOWEVER GIVEN THE TRACK OF RECENT ATLANTIC LOWS TO BE
A BIT FURTHER OUT TO SEA (INCLUDING THE ONE OFF FL TODAY) AND HOW
DEEP THE MAIN LONG WAVE TROUGH IS OVER THE CENTRAL U.S.. FOR NOW
HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY

I'm taking the under on events based on how the last few months have played out IMBY. I'd love to see this trend break in about a month though ;)

 

 

If we can scrape together a few inches in November, I  consider this  a victory in the snow department.

Thursday night Friday looks to be  much of nothing currently, maybe a few flakes in the air to a coating.

Sunday night into Monday is a  possible powder keg storm for the interior :snowing:
