One interesting thing I noticed is that the notoriously cold biased GFS is 0 to +1 for a 7 day anomaly at the surface for SNE day 10-16.. However at 850mb its like -5 to -10.. 

maybe related to mixing? The GFS tends to get overzealous with mixing but that is an interesting observation, I did not notice that. 

what's also interesting too is I feel like it's been much harder to get anomalous daytime departures on the colder side. Remember back this spring or maybe early summer we had some pretty anomalous cold llvl airmasses overhead but we were still barely netting negative departures at the sfc.

Are we in search for cold and dry or snow? 

Typically I've found on this forum over the past 15-20 years (but especially the last 6-8 years) is that if no snowstorms are imminent on guidance, many will just look for deep blue temperature anomalies over us and if they don't see them, then it means we're not getting snow through the end of that 15 day ensemble period. It's roughly a 5th grade way of looking at the wx pattern, but you can only lead a horse to water.

Wolfie what’s your B.P 

These people are just ridiculous. I mean we’ve known for 12 days that this period was going to suck, and that the changes are shortly after.  That looks in track, But yet these fools keep saying the same crap. Give it a rest already.   If the whole thing fails, and we get zero snow and zero cold, I’ll gladly give them the credit for being right…even if it’s for the wrong reasons.

But they never listen, or never learn. True definition of dummies.

We don't really need a full-fledged Arctic airmass in place either. I mean how any of our biggies have come with a super cold Arctic airmass in place? Sure they have happened but IMO, if we have a deep Arctic airmass in place we're likely looking at either a suppressed pattern or an inactive pattern.

I’m not denying that we can get snow. It absolutely can snow with AN temp anomalies in New England, but you aren’t building a snowpack with this post 2015 temp profile.

Any feelings of despair I have over lack of snow this winter will be tempered by the upcoming first season with my new toy.

Congrats Mike! Good that you have a picture of one of the two happiest days in a boat owner's life.

Installed a generator at a house right on the water in Wareham today. Steady wind, absolutely freezing

LOL.  I just made the first payment so that day is now in the past.  :)

No more worries of outages with the generator all wired!

Maybe we should stop focusing on other seasons and what we did in 2015 or any other season and wait to see what happens in this season. No two seasons are alike. I don't care how much they seem like they're matching up, there's twists and turns that happen in the blink of an eye. All it takes George is one huge snowstorm to drop a big cover of snow, and that could be our base for building our snowpack. Even if things don't get started till early January, snow can stay on the ground in January, February and into March. Even with a higher sun angle in March, we've had snowy March's where snow stayed on the ground..... maybe it melted faster on the pavement, but we've had snow cover everywhere else. Point is, stop focusing on other years and comparing them to what's happening this year because no two years are the same ever.

Fair enough, but based on what I’m seeing my opinion is that we are going to be fighting temps for most of this winter. Borderline super nino, strong -PDO, roaring pacific jet, and record low snow cover for our source regions. The Pope brought this up multiple times, but people keep ignoring it. Instead of ignoring him, I am choosing to read and learn from his posts. He knows his shit, and he’s usually right.
