Keep hope alive... Easier to pull off in an el nino, which those both were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to take a while to reverse that…..hopefully we can enjoy the nice weather. Hints of change at the tail end of the ensembles but still not close to a winter pattern.

Ha yeah I have been shaken by the dreadful ensemble performance. It's a la Nina so an RNA is likely most of the time. To me the question is how long.

Pretty much we’re I’m at. it seems like we start to maybe get a bit more favorable in that timeframe, so it may be 1/20-1/25 before anything seriously favorable emerges, if it even does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Will to tell us the years though. We had White Tday and White Xmas in 2002....good double whammy there. 1990s were kind of shitty, but 1995 was great. Cold and snowy all December pretty much. 1992 had the leftovers of the Dec 11-12, 1992 storm over the interior....it got a bit glacial because we had a cutter about a week before Xmas, but it wasn't enough to melt it out. 1991 had decent snow cover too...Dec '91 was actually not bad over the interior....and then winter went to total shit after that. 1993 was saved by a band of SN- that dropped an inch overnight 24th into 25th after we lost our snowpack from a grinch storm on 12/23. 1994 was a disaster, 1996 got wiped clean by epic Xmas Eve grinch storm....1997 of course was the infamous 12/23/97 bust that dumped a ton of snow....'98 and '99 were dogshit but '98 did give a white Xmas to far SE areas....the Cape had like 6-10". I think the cutoff was just south of BOS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 10-12” otg. You mean 1998? I think '99 was garbage. '95 was def my best December from a sensible wx standpoint if you like consistent cold and lots of snow events leading into Xmas. That month did leave a little on the table though with the messy phase of the Dec 19-20, 1995 storm....that one was supposed to be a blockbuster but it turned into a mundane warning event. Nothing wrong with that obviously, but there was a little feeling of letdown there. But we had so many snow events it was hard to complain....you had 12/9 over the interior, and then the massively overperofming clipper warning event on 12/14...then the IVT on Dec 16-17 that dropped 2-4" and then of course the bigger storm on Dec 19-20....but then the ULL just sat and spinned up in Maine and we had random snow showers between Dec 21-26 each day. Always seemed to be mood flakes falling with a deep pack. We must've had 18-20" OTG (biggest difference between interior and coast that month was the 12/9 event where coast had mostly rain after snow to start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
