Typhoon Tip Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Not to add to the dreary tenor in here but ... Jesus. The D10+ fairy tale range of the GEFs don't really reflect any change, despite what I was mentioning earlier. As they typically do beyond D10, mean fades to that tendency for entropy ( annularity ) flow by 300 .. But, it's refusing to stop face-smacking lol... It's maintaining ghosts of the same positive anomaly nodes way out there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can usually deal with a -PNA at this latitude, but not when there entire longwave trough is digging down into Baja. Like, here's the EPS at D15....you can see the AK ridge is totally restored...that is actually quite a stout -EPO, but look at how insane that -PNA is.

Yeah..agreed - and the EPS is more robust with the NE Pacific height recovery than the GEFs by D10. The only reason why I think there is some hope for D11 -16 ... if biasing later rather than sooner we must, is because it appears there are west Pacific changes in play (maybe) leading. Usually when that happens, the GEFs have to reel by forcing and then they'll show a change more coherently at some critical threshold. The MJO ... it's dubiously contributing, but favorably nonetheless... CPC think's west Pac TC activation may take place - if we can distort the major circulation eddy with flux from these sources, the GEFS may not be seeing that yet The EPS .. not sure if that's exactly what that is, but maybe- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmtnwx Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 On the bright side the timing of the -pna pattern is ideal for rolling into a wintry pattern for the holiday. Grinch likelihood low this year as the SE ridge pushes east in response to beneficial stages of the mjo we should be sitting pretty for a good holiday period from after the 20th to the NY. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo2000 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I don't know what is so wrong about a -PNA pattern. I am more worried about a +EPO , But that +EPO should be going away. I seen winters where the cold goes from the West Coast to the East Coast with a combo of -EPO and -PNA. We can have a trough west and trough east is what I am saying.

The snow being put down now is high in density and base building. Of greater concern is the high volume of gappers on limited opened terrain.

PhineasC Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Being from down south, I never thought the ski places could hold snow as well as they do up here. Last mid March it torched to near 70 several days in a row and the ski places kept going into April. This doesn't seem like a big deal. They turn off the guns and have some soft conditions for 4-5 days and then it freezes up again. The nights don't look warm either. The high mins is the real torch up here. 40/25 is not a big deal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s usually because people don’t realize the amount of water being pumped as snow. The QPF is off the "charts” (ba dum bum ching). I always tell people, remember how long it can be warm with March/April/May sun angles with dews too… and how long those man-made ribbons last. That stuff seems to survive two weeks without sniffing freezing. Granted it doesn’t look great, but you’re trying to melt like 2-3 feet of sleet right now.

powderfreak Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The biggest issue by far for ski areas is a lack of expansion in operations heading into one of the busiest 1-2 weeks of the entire winter. They won’t close but they won’t be expanding, which puts terrain buildout probably at least two weeks behind when you consider the mild stretch the week before Thanksgiving that delayed openings. A good 14-24” nor’easter would fix it quickly at any time though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting the shitty pattern out of the way early, I’d rather that than something like 2019-2020 with a big storm early December then just turns to garbage.

They are pushing hard to make the stateside/tramside connection at Jay before the weekend. I think the real issues won't be the nne resorts; rather places like Hunter or the poconos. They might not even get the occasional night or two to resurface what little they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
