powderfreak Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 6 hours ago, NECT said: Pics or it didn't happen. Actually, I totally believe you...just need some snow here soon. It was a fun day of weather. Mild and raining this morning... full-on winter this afternoon. We've had some fun frontal passages this November. There was like a half inch of rock solid frozen slush on my car. Took a little while to even get the car door open. Flash freeze. The snow blowing off the cars left 1-2" in the parking lot and I found exactly 1" on the snowboard. Not much but another dense, water-logged and now frozen accumulation. "Its good for the base?" Wintry appeal. The skiing was a lot of fun this afternoon, considering it had been raining and then the temperature rapidly dropped 20 degrees. From spring to winter in a matter of hours is always a fun weather day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Definitely a windy day. Typical branch stuff that I saw. Also now that leaves are coming down, can see more tree damage from the screamer a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 40/70’s outlook isn’t as extreme, the general background idea is similar. Definitely some agreement between seasonal forecasters this year and they're backing it up with lot of research. I try to not invest into seasonal forecasts, especially if they're on the extreme side, but I understand that there are skill into doing them. I do have to vouch for DT's skill as a medium-range forecaster for big events in our backyard (North Carolina/Virginia) so we'll have to see if he's right about this upcoming winter. I haven't seen 40/70's outlook yet so I'll give it a read tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Nickels and dimes. Nice to wake up to flakes still flying. Another 1-2" overnight in the persistent flurry.
