According to all the posts I have seen, it is looking OK right now. Sit back, relax, drink a bourbon and just keep an eye on it. Excitement for me starts 5 days out, and confidence starts to build 3 days out, actual worry, joy, or call to action is at the less than 48 hours to go and much positivity across the board. I'm just happy people are talking about something. Been awhile! But seriously, it's not a half bad pattern coming up, and it doesn't stop with this threat. Seems to be decent cold lurking around an active SJU and NAO moving towards neutral mid month. Man I would love some real blocking to show up. Seems like it's been years since we've had a true Greenland block to sit put for a big storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Also, I guess no one stuck around this run beyond hour 270 haha.... I'll take snow then ice then 72 hours below freezing! Feels good to have winter weather threats show up, even in LR. Feel like we barely had even that last season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDawg Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looks to me like the GFS finished with 3 straight threats. Starting with the 14th one that missed this time, then a snow/ice storm on the 18th, then a suppressed system at the end of the run. Obviously at these lead times it probably means absolutely nothing but for now I'll take some fantasy storms cause we didn't even get many of those after the December storm last year. At least it shows the pattern over the next 2 weeks may be conducive, even if as always we need to thread a needle on timing and perfect placement.

griteater Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Euro is trying to go back to its wintry solution from 12z yesterday, leaving the early wave in Cali behind the cold trough before bringing it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Euro is very similar to yesterday's wintry 12z run at 500mb, but not as cold. At hr186, sfc low in NE gulf and cold high over New England. hr186-192 there is what looks to be frz rain from I-85 and NW in North Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 17 hours ago, NEGa said: Just waiting for lookout to pop in - he loves glen mf burns haha. It’s way too far out for me to bite but it looks like a good set up at this point. We haven’t had an ice storm like that in over 10 years Lol..just saw this ..hes really unbelievable. I cant believe he posted that based on one model run on an event more than a week out...seriously wtf? Hes a strange dude...will down play legit and promising storms in the near term but then do something like that. Him getting slapped down by fellow mets has been awesome though. As for next week...seem like there is potential if we can get the timing right...Not exactly earth shattering news i know but thats better than nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't knock the JMA, but let's just say I'd feel better about a potential storm if it was the EURO and UKMET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 GFS is on its own with the placement of the southern low while all the rest of the models agree that it will be holding its own to varying degrees over the SW/Texas by 12z 12/11.. 12z Euro: 12z Canadian: 12z JMA: 12z NAVGEM: 18z GFS: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole lot of placement and displacement. Too far out to tell. But clearly between now and next weekend there is going to be a pattern change. Weather a lake cutter or GOM low. Gfs has been showing the way. A pattern change At this point in time not worth getting into. But from above. It's clear. Cold and wet coming. Besides nothing at this time frame picks up to well.

Solak Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm having a hard time with the GFS lately in even the mid range. Yesterday, it showed us getting 1.90" for next Mon-Wed rain event. Today, it's down to just 0.18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMRoss Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Not to be a buzzkill but I have been around this forum long enough to play the “maybe the Baja shortwave will change and work in our favor this model suite” game. It doesn’t work out a lot. Seems like we’re going to be stuck in this cold/active pattern for a while; my advice is to take the energy focused on this storm and instead direct that energy in completing your holiday shopping this weekend, so that you can track models and speculate on forums stress-free by the end of December 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there's nothing to specifically focus on except (as you said) for the overall pattern configuration. We need to get one of these (10/12 day) fantasy storms to within 6/7 days, and then have support from other models before we truly bit on a potential storm. It might be frustrating to see these storms pop up and then disappear, but it is a function of being in a cold/active pattern; whereas the models will spit out potential winter storms because the pattern does support the potential. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. The pattern is not half bad and the fact we are going into Christmas week with at least a storm signal and cold (and no impending blowtorch) is exciting. How often does it snow here before Christmas on even the best winters? A lot of people already worrying at the very onset of the climo season for snow with a decent pattern upcoming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
