it's also total bootleg "cold". stagnant garbage from that E Canada high. surface temps may not be all that high...but it's a torch set-up overall. 

as a short guy from Wilmington once said no one lives at 850/500 lol. bootleg or not its pretty typical Nov behavior.

I hope we keep this look for December, lol...I think we'd end up pretty good. Maybe ease the SW trough just a tad...but it would remind me of some of those setups in Dec 2007 and Dec 2008.

yeah thought the same.

fear is we lose the epo in a few weeks. but...i guess we'll see how it shakes out.

immediately thought of Dec 07 when I saw that

 

 

More '08 for me...but yeah, gradient pattern for sure. '08 had the massive EPO ridge...Dec '07 had a more disconnected one north of AK.

 

 

But here is the snow blitz period in December 2008...pretty uncanny how similar it is.

I think we do, the cold supply cuts off, HP in Canada over the top we warm for a couple of weeks, Christmas week is intriguing to me , still up in the air as  how that shakes out. Another AO stretch at that time may pop the EPO this time with longer wavelengths we break the Grinchs balls?

i bet those 2m temps tickle up a little higher...we'll see. i agree...no 60s though.

Clouds and onshore from the days preceding then no wind  would make it hard to mix out the bootleg stuff, of course this is 8-10 days away maybe Kevs Typhoon will switch things up.

I wouldn't bite off that one just yet.

I know no one is, just saying...

of course...but on the flip side...for the folks who are looking for actual winter-like weather, that pattern's obviously not gonna cut it. 

i guess not lol, but knowing my climo is .7' of snow in Nov probably not a time to look for winter weather quite yet.

Yeah it's not time to predict a snow blitz like Dec '08...we need to actually get into December to take advantage of that type of pattern...we're still too early in the season to start getting gradient setup snow events for the most part...but some of the guidance (GEFS again at 12z) do show a bit of an EPO reload around Dec 1...EC ensembles have been toying with the idea too on and off and if that happened, then we could have an interesting period in early December....but we'll just have to wait and see. The guidance has been really unstable in the longer range compared to the usual caveats we give for D12-15...so it's truly a "wait and see" type thinking.

tropical storm landfalling in SC?  :scooter:

Tremendous air mass differences with a 1040 high over Montana with energy driving into the base of the trough in the SW all the while digging east, very  easy for a prolific storm to erupt loaded with tropical moisture. Something to watch if modeled correctly.

Nov. avg here is 4.5".  Of course, the CV is 115% so consistency is not what to expect.

 

It's about 3 inches in ORH, but around an inch only for BOS....of course a standard deviation is more than the mean, so no sense in expecting average in any given year. :lol:

Only to the ones that believe its a winter month

 

It is a good month to boost the seasonal tally and do some damage relative to normal though...might not average much, but if you can pull an 8-12" event or something (like last year for example), it definitely makes the snow season longer.  

 

Average here is 8-10" for November.  I know J.Spin is around 12", and I'm probably 2-3" under that. 

 

Mansfield averages 1.25" per day at this point, lol.

Well, I certainly don't bank on it year after year, If you happen to catch one like last year, Yeah it's gravy, But if we see 0, That is not a shock either as avgs are small for November so there are many years that we don't see any snow at all

Hmmm...if we pull off a good December this year, it could be off to the races.

 

Admittedly, a really good snowfall year will likely still pale in comparison to last year's record season.

Gotta love the sub-zero temps in Texas on the 00z GFS clown range.

Finishes the run with some snowfall here as well. Lots of time to watch this , I feel confident on a few days of cold early next week and than a colder shot the 1st week of December but getting the right setup and storm track is a waiting game.
