Euro ensembles look fine after T-day...we get the well-advertised warm-up in the few days leading into Thanksgiving, but the pattern reloads a bit. It's not frigid like we just had, but half decent cold.

 

The GOA low could retrograde in time for a nice setup going into early December...that's extrapolating way out, but it would be very nice since the whole time, the heights north of AK remain high most of the run so we never lose cross polar. That means once the PNA spikes again, we'd get cold...or if the NAO went solidly negative.

We had that talk in house regarding those heights. You'll never get a torch pattern if those remain high, even if the Pacific tries to invade. That's a good sign going forward. The AO refuses to go +.

Def better looking than the GEFS...GEFS were lower heights up in most of the arctic domain.

Well when the weeklies came out and Kevin flipped and a few others came along it read doom and gloom. That's all.

 

 

There's some unrealistic expectations every November. That's why I call it the month of 240 hour fantasies.

 

Nothing wrong with a bit of PAC reshuffling. May be a bit up and down for a bit after T-day but biasing on the cold side I'd guess. But it's not the worst thing. I'd love to really reload and lock the pattern back in around 12/7-12/10 when the climo is screaming downward toward cold/snow.

I don't get it really

 

I think it's an issue of impatience, not expectations.  I'm very impatient.  :)

The problem with early season cold is exactly what is taking place...peeps get antsy for real snow. Some years it seems to stay warm right into December but then when the cold comes it starts snowing immediately. Other years it'll be cold for a month before we get any events.

Weenies like cold...because it brings snow. We've got the cold pattern, now they want the snow.

Or some weenies like cold because they can make snow................. ;)

And some years just suck.

There's a reason there's a real dearth of good snow events in November in a good chunk of New England...esp the first 2-3 weeks of the month.

 

It's tough to get good shortwaves to amplify south enough and east enough to get a real solid event. Big overrunning events are tough with the lack of deep snow cover to the north to really help hold the low level cold dome south to combat the still very warm waters to our south. Natural baroclinic zone is further NW...there's multiple factors working against us this time of the year.

 

Most of our events are little weak clippers...or they are marginal slop weak events like we saw on 11/2 and then again last week. Every once in a while you roll snake eyes and get a 11/7/12 type event or a 11/11/87 event, but there's a reason those events that drop 6"+ are like once or twice per decade...maybe 3 times in SNE depending on location.

 

We get lots of cold shots in November on NW flow, but the cold has a real hard time holding in for storms due to the above factors already mentioned. A -10C 850mb airmass in mid-November is not the same as one in January as it pertains to storms...because the dynamics of CAD and baroclinicity are just not the same yet as mid-winter. It does start getting a bit easier the final week of the month where more 6"+ events start dotting the climo historical charts, but even then, it's still silly to actually expect it...and I preach this as an ORH hills native where it's easier than much of the rest of the region to get November snow events of significance.

 

That said, we still have a shot late next week for something, so it's certainly worth watching. But I'd keep expectations low for now.

perfect, trying to distant himself from weenie nation, pfffft

I'm a full blown weenie...just like you. Not trying to distance anything, haha.

You know that with the cold comes thoughts of snow, and the longer it's cold without a snowstorm the more antsy the more emotionally-driven weenies get, lol.

just stating what the models are showing is not doom and gloom, I still believe most of us in here believe we are going to have a good solid New England winter. Many teleconnections and analogs are setting up positively but when a model gives you something and then takes it away on a later run it is only natural to voice some frustration even though you know the overall picture is good.

This pattern is only acceptable in November. This shiznit in January (see last January) would be totally unacceptable from Mother Nature, lol. Below normal temps in the means but rain as the dominant precip type when systems hit. Snowmaking fun this time of year makes the cold worth it.
