Maybe some cool weather around Thanksgiving then, hammer down as we approach the end of the year. Yeah I agree. I would take a warm November then have a cold December. We have not had a cold December in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 A ski season would be nice starting in December. Agree Novie looks warm. Although the EPO is going negative, the NAO is completely AWOL if one wants cold. Get the shopping and holiday prep done while it is mild. Then hopefully we are skiing a lot more this year!

Tyler Penland Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Well the Euro is looking colder for next week. 40's for highs Wed-Sat in Boone on the EPS. Coldest lows it's shown thus far as well with maybe some flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We should cool way down starting Wednesday through the rest of the week to more normal temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The AO looks very good in the mid to long range but I remain very skeptical of these future values as we have seen this before only to get the rug pulled out from under us.To me you can see the NAO already wobbling a little more positive in the future indices. This is a huge caution light for me about REAL blocking setting up. The PNA looks like crap staying negative for a long period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I have yet to climb back up after cliff diving before the 2015 winter, but the LR wants me to get my gear ready.

Heavy heavy rain also. Closing in on over 2 inches. Yeah it looks like starting tomorrow out highs go from 70 to 49 and rain. Then our nightly lows drop thursday morning.

SnoJoe Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 No thunder but I did get 1.46 of rain. Things are pretty sloppy around here. Not normal to see all the rivers and creeks running so high this time of year. All the leaves on the ground are turning into a brown stew. If we get some sustained cold, the ground will freeze and lock up worst than my ex wife. How about sunny with highs around 50 with lows in the mid-twenties for a week or two.

nrgjeff Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanksgiving blocking VencorWeather mentions is showing up on most models and ensembles. No guarantee it lasts for weeks, but it seems legit for Thanksgiving and the end of the month. Separately, this winter should be better than last. Could be warm air trouble for synoptic systems. However NWFS events should be better in the wake of cold fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Ok fellas things look like we could be in for one heck of a pattern change coming after mid month towards the end of the month. The AO and NAO look to really go solid negative at this time. I'm still being very cautious though. We are still 10 days away from all this taking place.

McDowell_Weather Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hey fellas...I hope everyone had a nice summer. I know working in a furniture plant (Ethan Allen) it was not as hot as last summer here in old fort. The summer of 16 was brutal!!! But anyway i look forward to late night euro runs, fantasy snowstorms, snow and good conversation! Its most definitely my favorite time of year!

NCSNOW Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Im gonna go ahead and call it. Its gonna be white next weekend for alot of you folks. Im expecting to see alot of LES and NWFS with the vodka cold coming down next weekend. See how it sets up as we roll forward. So much easier to see this type potential as oppossed to a synoptic event. You can see 500mb forecast and whats being progged on every model, espeacilly Euro. Throw in unfrozen lakes etc and you get a pretty good idea that the potential is gonna be pretty high with this type of set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The overnight runs say come back to reality not looking that great at all. Sure we will get cool downs but nothing out of The ordinary. Most of the troughs pulled back further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR pattern coming up as we head toward turkey day and the DEC 1st K/O to met winter is the bargain of the century espeacilly in light of what alot of folks,self included thought we'd be seeing unfold D/J/F. Now it can go to the crapper no doubt, but everyone should be encouraged opptomistic on whats being forecasted by the models to happen at 5H. i still say next weekend your back yard and joe espeacilly, will get the ground white. 8-10 days out so well see. Good news is the train is heading down the right track for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think we will see a nice pattern around thanksgiving but no sooner. It will take some time to step down with the way things are currently. Good outlook.

NCSNOW Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Webber posted on other board. I'm still on board with my prediction last week Joe and Met would have white ground next weekend. Via Tomer Burg's website http://www.atmos.albany.edu/student/tburg/, the 500 hPa anomalies in the base of the trough that will be centered over the Lakes this weekend may push into record territory for this time of the year. The lake effect snow in the wake of this trough will be nuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
