ATreglown Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Is it too much to ask that you guys post maps that include the Richmond area of Virginia? I would really appreciate it. We tend to get left out in no mans land, being the southern most MA area, and not quite south enough to be considered in SE forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'm not sure how many people have figured this out yet, but you can get a glance at the EURO ens for free, with mean, max, and min snow depth at your location. https://weather.us/forecast/4744709-arlington/ensemble/euro/snow That link directs you to Arlington, but its pretty easy to change location. GFS doesn't have a category for snow depth, but you can see precipitation, temperature, and 850 temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Anyone notice the GEFS snow mean maps seem to hate coastal central NJ? Just an oddity I have noticed. The EPS snow maps aren't like that.

The cool thing is next week appears to be a flip to an extended period of a half decent pattern for snow. I would rate it as above normal chances (not that AN means much in the MA). Having brief windows sandwiched between a disaster and a torch really sucks. Especially when it lasts like 6 weeks. At the very least, the most important ingredient for snow (cold) looks favorable. We REALLY need that during the first half of Dec. I'm hoping the first legit threat isn't a climo gradient where I sit @ 35 surface and +1 850's with rain while PSU/losetoa6/sparky/mappy are afraid to post pics of their ongoing paste bomb because the mob will attack. Expand If that does happen take solace in this, every time I've had that happen, an early/mid December significant wet snow event up here that was mostly rain in the urban corridor, you eventually got yours later that winter. That's been a sign of a pretty good winter incoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we need it somewhat but too much of a good thing can be bad Expand I look at it this way.... Luck is the most important factor in our snow chances. We've totally blown MANY good patterns. Even perfect ones. Luck odds improve with every day that passes when we're not in a shutout pattern. Think about the last 3 Decembers. The general H5 pattern offered little hope. Especially the last 2. We're entering this Dec with no shutout pattern in sight as far as the eye can see. For all we know the WAR or (insert the less than perfect feature here) will actually contribute to having good luck. This time next week we enter what appears to be a prolonged period where it can snow. The only thing that can rattle me is staring at an approaching shutout pattern with nothing in the books. From what I'm seeing right now, it's going to be quite a while before we are at risk of a shutout pattern. Good times man. Enjoy it until there's nothing to enjoy.
