Great post, obviously LR stuff is fraught with 12 hr changes but if you look at the entire pattern there is no death knoll for potential . Its pretty standard stuff . We know our SNE climo, real chances usually start near week before Christmas usually despite some assertions.  winter in SNE 12/21 to 3/21

I was going to compliment him as well with that post.  Logical and reasonable...nice job CTvalleysnowman!!   Any type of snow in SNE before Xmas is always a bonus imo.  It happens, and some times we have big ones happening before Xmas in December, but more often than not, it seems to take the pattern time to Mature so to speak, before the snow really starts to fly, and likes to fly in SNE.  I agree with the 12/21-3/21 idea in most cases.

Its often simply a matter of waiting for the bath water to the east of us to cool, but this season it will be  both.

Sucks...I had started to bite on that a bit, but its not the end of the world.

I can't name anyone who called for a fun December.....

This is why I made a pact with myself to not even follow the models much at all until January.....figured they would be frought with false, premature hope.

When we started to see the torch setup for the holiday weekend and the cold dump out west..I started to worry that the promised period might not work out. Usually we get a couple good snowfalls in December and even 1 in Nov. This year that doesn't appear to be in the cards. The only wildcard we still have is what the recurving typhoon may do to the pattern..

Ruling out snowfall in December is plane ludicrous.

Define good? ORH averages maybe 3" in November and that average is a product of lousy Novembers and a rogue dumping.

That too about the ocean...I agree.  Which is also wrapped in to the Maturation of the pattern.  Like Baroclinic Zone said a few posts back, "Some people have such lofty expectations",  and it clouds their reasonableness on what to expect in most cases.

It always stretches and deforms, but I don't see anything close to intriguing.

Certainly nothing eye opening other than this, I think it tanks right around Christmas based on the attacks its been getting. The WAF attacks don't do it but appears to me that in  a month we may see a real tank which would screw my warm Christmas week forecast. Getting more and more intrigued by that period. Having the PV nearer to Hudson bay gives us the opportunity for some quick cold shots aside the positive EPO, modeling shows that at times where we end up with a roll over ridge in the middle of the country and lower height fields in NE. Pattern overall is warm but have to consider the opportunity for cold shots especially with Eastern Canada being loaded with snow and cold.

Not ruling it out, but the chances are certainly not very high this year..Not with the one eyed pig in the GOA and Canada getting flooded with PAC air. People don't realize..once you flood Canada ..we don't strand a chance until it can be replenished

The worst of patterns can muster a date with luck, but it does not generally look good right now.

No......but nor was it expected to.

Things are going entirely as  planned.

I average about 12-15".

My hunch is that I steal one significant event before the new year.

my averages for the nearby COOP in North Foster have come up, the shorter period of time records are kept there have been  affected by recent wintry periods , records are from 75 . Obviously being 100 feet lower and 5 miles east my numbers are about 3/4 these but a good estimate

November 2.5 December 13.0 January 14.7 February 12.4 March 11.4 April 3.0

I still have hopes for the second half of winter. The extremely warm November does have me worried just a bit looking at how historically things have gone. That being said, climate change will be the wild card and that could go either way, a massive blizzard in a sea of warmth or breaking warm temp records by whole degrees instead of fractions....

Here is a little hint.

 

Burn all of the November analogs that are not el nino seasons.

Irrelevant.

May as well lump this el nino in with 2009 if you are going to do that.

Go take your complaining to the panic in tolland thread.

 

 

We should at least be discussing the pattern in here and not lamenting over the fact that you might miss a 2 inch snowfall on 11/29.

You have never been one to handle bad patterns very well. They tend to turn you into someone your're not on the forums. I'd suggest at least rationalizing the next 45-60 days don't hold too much in the way of winter. Maybe after that ..Until then..concentrate on home buying

If any of the debbies would like to hang me a curve ball, post a composite of all warm November el nino seasons in my outlook thread, and I'll tee it up it in the12/1 update.

 

Wouldn't mind some batting practice prior to ma nature's first pitch scheduled for latter January.

Reading top 15 , have no clue what the Super Nino dates are in this, wait there are none
