CMC finally catching onto the storm for the 18/19th strong southern branch rain storm that hooks into cape cod .. However, if that northern stream were to catch up and phase man what a bomb that would be.

Unfortunately ... it's become a mise en science in here where it is almost impossible to push an idea like that and have people even read it at this point.  hahaha

Hopefully this doesn't deter you folks from offering up analysis based on what you're seeing in each model gyration.  There are plenty of people in here (maybe?) who appreciate the professional perspectives, regardless of the weather outcome.

Hopes for a big season are never high if we punt December.

I would never say that, at least speaking of SNE. Some of the best winters in this area didn't get started until early January. However I don't expect this to be a big snow year here either, just hopefully close to average

Another near miss epicocity on the the 23rd/24th in the GFS

Expand  

Haha that has been showing up a lot in that period. Something to possibly watch depending of course if the Canadian and Euro also has something brewing as well in that time period. The problem of course very little cold to work with unless it generates it's own cold.

There’s decent cold to work with around that time on the GFS. It’s the 12/19 threat that has a putrid airmass. 
 

I’d keep an open mind for that 12/21-24 period. It’s not a cold pattern for the CONUS at all but there’s some regional cold that could make it down into the northeast/lakes if that block N of AK rolls over into the PNA ridge…it temporarily forces a much more meridional pattern.

That period does look tempting. Even a weak NS clipper diving down would do the trick.

The 12z GEFs came in interesting. 

It's hard to tell, though. It may be manifesting both the 18th/19th ... and the 21st, as the same system - in other words, below is an artifact of the mean between the two.  

Either way, that's a new 1028 mb polar high N of Maine with a fairly impressive signal/spread lurking S.

The avg high temp for Metuchen NJ on Dec 1st is 50 and the avg high temp on Dec 31 is 42.  When you refer to "we" do you really have an expectation for snow in Dec with that temp profile?

Expand  

And there in lies my whole problem with these guys that come in here, and then lump SNE in with their region, and then also troll the SNE folks when we talk about a system, or a period of time that may be of interest to “our” region.  It takes valuable input away, and replaced it with BS trolling nonsense, that upsets and irritates the subforum.  
 

No problem if you want to come in here, but don’t detract from the conversation with constant trolling and nonstop negativity.

That's interesting.  Is there an amount threshold to determine what's considered "snow" for this?  For that matter, is there a generally understood number in the industry that's recognized as a minimum amount of actual snow?  I'm not sure if you're comment above implies that to people more in the know than I am with these things.  I just know if it's spitting snow here and not coating grass, that's not appreciable snow. (No kidding! :rolleyes:)

Expand  

I don't count it unless I have a solid coating, not some snow that accumulates in a couple of places.
