Yeah, I don't know what it is about Texas, but they seem to get more snowfall than GA in most winters. The further west in the south you go the better.

packbacker Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Be nice if we could follow a 13/14 repeat. EPS shows cold getting bottled up in Canada in the extended. Similar evolution in Dec 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Thanks Grit! Man, an almost all daytime snow event, with coldest temp at 1pm, would be great to have one of those again!! The low sun angle would help! And an almost 12:1 ratio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of the huge high pressure in the northeast. CAD and a low pretty deep off Florida means snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Models have been for the most part fairly good in the extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 All 3 global ensembles are trying to throw up the dreaded AK low in the extended too..that would obviously not be good as we start getting into the 1999/2006/2012 winter's over pattern. We probably will go back AN after these couple of intense cold shots and then waiting begins. Would guess we may need some strat help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The cold blast for this coming weekend is moderating! Had forecast of 41 and low of 23 two days ago, now that's already up to 46/26, by the time we get there, we will be at about avg, 50/34, just gonna be a Shetley kind of winter I guess!

packbacker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 One last post...these are all January's where RDU had multiple snow/ice events. I do think we see atleast a period of this type of pattern in Jan/Feb...hopefully early Jan but if that bloody AK low is correct it may take a little longer.

GFS has Tmax in mid-30's on Fridays. Euro is a little slower with the cold push and has Tmax of upper 30's on Saturday. This will help our ground temps...well until we roast around Xmas again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, man, you ought to know by now the Carolina's get the snow, and we get the shaft It's the price we pay for being so personable and fine looking T Picked up another .6 of real rain so far, making 2.6 in half a week after 71 days of nada.

SN_Lover Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 AO appears to be the thorn in our side this winter. Beautiful ridge in the western CONUS and Atlantic, but cold air needs to stick and not be transient. I think the models are going too positive with the AO, but that might be the weenie in me. Either way, not a torch like previous winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the problem seems to be that the cold air seems to come in after big storm systems, then moderates before the next storm system comes in and repeats this. There's definitely going to be cold air available, but it won't sync with moisture. The story of our lives in the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
