I like the Euro's look..I'll gladly take 3-6 inches and enjoy every minute of it coming down.  It sucks that it's turning to rain for SNE...but it could be all rain so I'm happy that it's not.  

 

Too bad we can't get the "Scooter Sh*t Streak" from last year to show up last minute and save us????   I remember last year the "Scooter Streak" was providing to much confluence and we were hoping for it to disappear lol.  I think now it would help us...No????

Yeah we are lacking any sort of weakness or a downstream 50/50 type low in the flow up there to produce some confluence. If we had even a little bit of that then this would be an even bigger snow thump and probably a prolonged period of icing over the interior. But small differences in this type of fast flow gradient pattern can be a big deal to sensible wx.

Some improvement on the euro ensembles at the end. I think at least with the PV on our side...it will allow for a source region nearby, especially for NNE in the pattern. So, they can probably work with what's given to us. I think for the next two weeks...we have a battle on our hands in SNE with a rather hostile look. We're going to need some well timed events I think...but it's not a hopeless look with a relatively cooler soure region. My guess this will last into part of January..but that's  not a high confidence call.

Yeah, the best way to describe the pattern on the EC ensembles after we get through our little ugly period next week is that it's kind of hostile, but not hopeless like Dec 2011/2006/2015. There's some cold lurking around.

Yeah, I think that's important to let others know. This isn't the black hole years like Dec 06, 11, 15 etc. We just need some help by getting some well timed events.

So far, This has reminded me a little of 2007

It's like a crappier version of 2007...with a little more luck we probably would have been hammered harder in the 12/12 event and this upcoming event would be our next 12/16/07.

 

But we haven't gotten any well-timed highs...that last one almost pulled it off but then trended back against us. Up your way, you are still doing decent...down here a little messier with ugly transition events.

Yeah, The 12/13 and 12/16 event here were 3.0" and 7.5" back in 2007, 12/12/16, 7.3", 12/17? TBD, 5-8" possibly, So we may end up ahead of it to start.

You had a lot more in the 12/3/07 event though, right? That was mostly a quick snow to ice system down in ORH...think we got just over an inch or so.

That was another 7.5" up here, Total wise, We are behind that season, But storm wise with over runners, Similar.

Too bad that trough wouldn't sharpen up some more on the 21st. Still long way to go so a chance it could get closer

Euro tried to get something going with that system. Was a close miss...prob a little snow for SE MA. But it has a low prob chance.

Although its been very nice up this way so far, I still think December 2007 was better.  There was a MUCH better low elevation snowpack in place.

That system on 12/16-17/07 was a solid storm... PNS shows 15" in Stowe area and most of the BTV region had 14-18". 

...LAMOILLE COUNTY...

STOWE 15.0 1000 AM 12/17 2 MI SOUTH

CAMBRIDGE 15.0 842 AM 12/17

That was a signature storm that month...I remember we had about 9 inches in ORH followed by brief sleet, to dryslot freezing drizzle. Spent pretty much all day in the teens and 20s, and then maxed out at 31F when the FROPA occurred. It was a huge bust...we were supposed to warm into the upper 30s or low 40s and of course the snowfall was supposed to be 3-6". I was NOWCASTing that storm all night and remember calling up to say the forecast was going to bust...be prepared for more snow.

 

Anyways...this year has been pretty active so far like that month, but we're not quite getting the same high placements. As discussed already in the past system...the high placement helps not only with holding in the cold at all levels, but it can increase the QPF in those systems...really wring out the atmosphere with big time frontogenesis.

 

The 12/12 system and this one coming up on Saturday could have been much bigger events if the highs were anchored just a bit better.
