snowsux Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Man, I find myself missing Kevin Benson a lot lately. Too bad he got caught driving his Taurus drunk and high on coke like he did. I wonder what he's up to these days. Sure do miss him on channel 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really go to church anymore but he used to be an usher at the church I belong to. He may still go, I'd have to ask my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 1st Day of Winter! Let's hope it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I will say, still not thrilled with the GFS and Euro outputs. Definitely colder, which is good, but suppressing decent looking chances so far. That 12-12 storm is close though, wouldn't take much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Mid-month we transition to a neutral or +PNA, usher in a big -NAO block, and seem to keep the -EPO and -AO. Those are the good things. It's possible we're breaking the pattern down too quickly and delay by a week or so, which for the white Christmas lovers wouldn't be a bad thing, necessarily. The issue for me is whether that -NAO manifests as too strong and acts as a true block over 40N. That would be great if you live in Raleigh, but for us it's potentially bad news. The placement retrogrades west enough to entice us. December of 2010 wasn't bad here at 12.2" total. It's a top analog. It would require more research, though, to determine how exactly we got that snow over the month. Was it synoptic or just lots of little lake events? Long-term, I don't think any pattern is locked-in. We're in a volatile situation where La Nina corrodes and leaves us with a sort of bouncing atmosphere.

Ahoff Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Good for cold, but they don't mention snow. At least it's one crucial ingredient needed. https://weather.com/forecast/national/news/2022-11-29-december-temperature-outlook-forecast-united-states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my "concern" as well, to much of a good thing if its too strong and all the storms get pushed well underneath us and off the coast. I think at a minimum though if that pattern materializes we will feel the cold, and likely see some little lake enhanced things as you say. Volatile is key, lots of pendulum swings as patterns break down / reload. Should be fun to see how it all evolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Ehh give me the cold and pattern first and then we can worry about suppression and storm tracks. We've all seem how these things change days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Can't help but feel this pattern is either going to be cold and dry (east coast cashing in), or just a total bust (warmer and wetter than expected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very -PNA ish. Maybe these forecasts are underestimating the La Niña, and the cold will stay locked out in the west and upper Midwest.

Euro, on the other hand, has a cutter and is warm through 240. So unfortunately we’ve now seen the bad scenario pop up on both models. Still time to change, I guess. Canadian for what it’s worth tracks a low right over us and gives us rain, but at least it’s not a torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Interesting for a supposed great pattern I was hearing about elsewhere. Maybe the pattern is right and the models are wrong, or maybe the reverse. We kind of know how this goes though. We can only hope for the best.

Ahoff Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is Day 7. It's close, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I admit I'm not too focused on discrete storms or threats just yet. Mostly watching the upper atmosphere and seeing if it cooperates. Getting something on the front-end of a potential pattern change would be a big win, however. For now I think we're simply in a holding pattern. These are OP runs so the usual caveat, but the 0Z Euro from yesterday compared to today are starkly different in developing a better pacific (incoming -EPO versus positive and a more natural +PNA look).

Wild swings from run to run so maybe too early to write if off completely. It is looking like the good pattern is getting pushed more into mid month though.

I’m cool with that if it actually happens and we don’t get a rerun of last year. Though I guess I’d take a rerun of last year over a rerun of 2016-17 or 2018-19 or 2019-20.

Rd9108 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Lmao we never learn our lesson. Not saying it will change for the better but we are almost a week out. We've seen major shifts 2 or so days out. Honestly if we sacrifice the 9th for better wintry weather around Christmas then I'd say let it happen. Of course the trends are not good but still have to monitor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Don't the models lose the storms around this time only to bring them back around 4-5 days? Just trying to find a path to a storm at this point, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I'm reading in the NE forum highly anomalous blocking events can lead to trouble with modeling while the block is getting established. Also I think we are so starved to track something we have to realize this storm is still over a week out lol so not that unreasonable to expect big shifts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
