As for the second part - would you consider turning it off on request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah thought we could get 1 storm in with this pattern but not happening....pac jet is actually ripping. Thought we have that epo ridge pop sooner and stick but clearly this is a transient feature as well, though there is still some disagreement on this.

RedSky Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just got back from a walk. Spotted both flies and mosquitoes and a spider. Headed out for a spring bike ride. I remember when it was going to be cold post Christmas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Reilly Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Well, the good news is the pattern will yield some cold as the cold air out west eventually sloshes east but this cold has no staying power thanks to the NAO not wanting to stay negative long enough. The cold will be in and then exit out back into Eastern Candada. It's a problem for snow around here when there is a strong southeast ridge, warmer than average Atlantic water temps, and dooms day when the southern jet is screaming up into Canada due to these factors. I will now climb my snow look out tower higher but I don't see any snow of consequence over the next 10 days at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see Kevin.... but I see cold winning out over any brief warm ups over the next 30 days....plus I always like these patterns with arctic air just to the north and the ridge in the southeast - the battle zone will yield some surprising winter weather for many in this area over the next 10 days....and without a doubt over the next few weeks. But as we all know this is not an exact science so....stay tuned and Happy Holidays!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Pattern should switch to warmer/above avg again after around the 10th of January. Most guidance has the trof shifting to the west coast and replacing the weak epo ridge while a ridge takes over in the east. Not that guidance has been red hot in the long range but just regurgitating what is showing up down the road this month Hate to say it but methinks we are heading for a much below normal snowfall kind of winter with above normal temps. Would only take one big snowstorm to alter people's opinions on this winter, but overall it has been a dud-to-date (dec 1-present). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Huh??? 9.7" snow Ray and below normal temps near 9 days of snowcover. That's a lot for before Decmber 15th. It was cold enough in November to consider it a winter month 8 events with snow falling and one period where snow fell for 30 hours....yeah that would be great for any real winter month Dec-Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Some hope for next Sunday/Monday on the 12Z Euro. May be cold enough. Saw that too...encouraging in that it underscores the idea that things are very much in a state of "flux" at the moment. Would be really nice to see some snow one way or the other.

Would only take one big snowstorm to alter people's opinions on this winter, but overall it has been a dud-to-date (dec 1-present). I'd be enjoying the winter more with snow in the air, on the ground, on the way, or any combination of those three. So yeah, the last couple of weeks have been uninspiring for sure. This coming week should be interesting for clarifying things for the period from next weekend through the following week, which appears to have potential for some snow. Beyond that is too far away to make assumptions about, especially this winter. Could have a warm up/thaw, but I'm not writing off later January into February.

Don't write off any of January yet - unless SE ridge really takes hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fields27 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Don't write off any of January yet - unless SE ridge really takes hold. Certainly agree. Next weekend now looks interesting on the PGFS and Euro. GFS doesn't look terrible either this far out to my VERY untrained eye. Not even January yet, tons of time.

ChescoWx Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 So far this season here in NW Chesco we have had 10.4" of snow vs. normal season to date through 12/28 of 5.8" - it has been a N and W winter so far.....but plenty of time left....... Indeed. The difference between the city and the NW burbs is remarkable this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Latest Euro has 7" of snow on the ground at PTW by Monday the 5th and a sub-zero day with a low of 7 below on 1/7.....of course it may not be correct but..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Most guidance has an 'event' for us next weekend...hopefully this one has legs. PV in a favorable spot, STJ active, EPO ridge, flat SE Ridge. Things are somewhat favorable for this to occur so my confidence in snow for us next weekend is higher than normal. Even the GFS took a huge step towards the other globals. Only worrying about possible suppression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
