I'll believe there's an 80 degree day in HBG in December when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gotten into the mid 70's a lot so it would not be too far of a stretch but my comment was also for local temps. Maybe MDT gets to 76 but some local therms hit 80. All model talk at this point. Not sure it matters if its 68 or 78. All bad for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Enjoying the final burst of light snow now. This is the first daytime snow I've seen so far. With a temp of 36.3 it is simply disappearing once it hits the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, even 76 at MDT would be an all-time December record. The odds are against it, but the odds were also against what happened in the Pacific Northwest in June.

canderson Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I kinda expected that snow shower to be a bit heavier - it was realllll light stuff. DIdn't stick to any surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstorm Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 For those old enough, this is feeling like an 80s winter. Growing up as a kid sucked snow wise in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what Blizz said last night- it might not be much but it's nice seeing flakes flying on multiple days in this little stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what Blizz said last night- it might not be much but it's nice seeing flakes flying on multiple days in this little stretch. I would figure it’s difficult to impossible for a lot of posters on these boards (myself included) to set low expectations regarding winter. Even if you understand how the ENSO stuff works, even if you concede that climate change will make our winters progressively less cold and snowy, there’s still a hope that a particular winter will defy the odds, and occasionally they do, and that’s why we stick with this hobby. It’s like a slot machine giving you a small win every once in awhile to keep you coming back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be 100% clear, I am in no way punting winter. That's plain foolishness to do in November! My point was that signs indicate a sub-standard season in the snow department. If anyone is expecting a banner winter they might want to lower expectations a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never punt that early, though by then I'm conceding that the best time for snow (my opinion) has slipped away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Nice mood flakes here. I've had various parts of the morning where I was under heavier radar returns and nothing was falling and then no returns where nice light snow was falling, that is to say, we are entering winter radar season! Yes, I know the lower levels need to moisten up but still, dissecting winter radar is always fun, particularly when you live in the Bermuda Triangle of radar returns like we do around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
