Not only that, but the medium to long range looks good too. It's great to march into winter with no big red flags flying. Hard not to really like where we all stand right now. Expand The big thing too is that we aren't wasting the cold like seems to happen so often in November. We've had winter weather events and cold temperatures.

mahk_webstah Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Exciting to see WPC talking about big NAO and AO blocking setting up later in week into next week. These big events often last for 4-6 weeks yes? I would think the storm over the weekend would be borderline for many but that soon after the block would allow some fresher cold air to come in and a big storm toward month's end. Once these blocks set up, shite starts to happen with the modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 On 11/18/2018 at 9:52 PM, 40/70 Benchmark said: Thanks. Expand While snow accumulation maps are traditionally garbage, the nested NAM and the HRRR I believe are the only two models that explicitly forecast precip types, and therefore can distribute QPF into the correct accumulation. So the NAM nest looks at the rime factor, and places a snow ratio on that based on the value. Most models snow is treated as 10:1 or Kuchera as long as the model supports snow or sleet. So the nested NAM may not be right, but the snow accumulation map is most realistic based on model output. I should also say the Canadians do separate ptypes, and produce snow only output.
