tombo82685 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think if we get anything prior to dec 5th it would be a miracle. The better pattern to me (if it holds on ens) is after dec 5th. Prior to dec 5th, yes there is a nice block but what are we blocking in? It's all pacific puke stuck underneath with the real cold core being under upper level lows. Really need to get the ridge more poleward out west instead of a chinook blasting through most of Canada. The poleward ridge will help transport colder air into eastern Canada as the eps show later in the period, which we need to see hold. Also, blue on an h5 map doesn't necessarily mean cold either, also can represent storminess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have flexibility to take it whenever I want (given sufficient notice and within reason). The kids can do their classes from their iPhones and laptops via hotspot. This means that where ever it snows.. whenever it snows... we are going. My wife wont get on a plane.. and I can respect that.. but anything within a 400 mile radius is fair game for a road trip...

Also, blue on an h5 map doesn't necessarily mean cold either, also can represent storminess. Exactly, anyone thinking snow in early December with a well above average source region is grasping for straws. As CAPE mentioned maybe the real deal, if we ever get one, is when Canada chills down through cross polar flow / - EPO later in the month of December, or beyond. Not sure I agree with Eric Webb about the South getting snow in the depicted pattern outside of the higher elevations. There was always some hope December may deliver by being a shoulder month with a less strong PV. ( But, hey it really is strong currently so... ) Also, there are signs zonal winds may decline later in December. This may assist with HL with blocking, along with a couple other factors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 h5 looks decent on the GEFS. But 850/2m temps are solidly average. Its a start at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it wont be cold enough for the lowlands, but something like a closed low taking a southern track can get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Agree with all that’s been said by @tombo82685 and others. The advertised pattern would more likely offer snow chances around Dec 5-10 then before. The Dec 3 period maybe has a snowballs chance if the needle is threaded somewhat like yesterday’s euro. End of the 6z gefs shows eastern Canada cooling down as the poleward PNA finally starts cutting off the Pac and dragging arctic air southward. Either way can’t be too upset about a very Nino-ish pattern going into December that should offer a few chances at least. Let’s keep that look through the next week and then we can get busy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Interesting change today, with the caveat needing to see consistency in the next week, however, a nice drop forecasted in the AO domain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is true. Several mets and pros have mentioned a period in December when the NAO may drop. There is also a huge wave breaking event getting under way as well in the North Atlantic. This may have implications in the NAM domain as well . As mentioned here by Simon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
