That would be irritating.

09-10 was thrown around quite a bit the past few months, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, It looks to get pretty cold for a couple weeks in Jan, As long as the core is not overhead and remains further west we have some chances.

Let’s hope it’s not that extreme…that was a shutout with 3-4 blizzards to our south.  Please, anything but that.  If we get boned, I at least want to be in the game, not sitting on the sidelines.

It’s actually not cold at all for the New England forum.  Cold anomalies are south. Actually still a bit above normal until the last few weenie days of the run. Weird bc it looks cold at first glance. 

EPS was pretty darned cold for us. Def colder than OP GFS. 
 

Regardless, whenever you see cold anomalies just to our south in that NYC-DCA corridor, that usually means we’re plenty cold enough to snow even if we are near avg or slightly above like on that 06z GFS run. Sitting in that -5 to -8C range of 850 temps. 
 

Hopefully we can actually get one of the shortwaves to pop a nice system for us. The really active look is something I like a lot…it will make model watching relevant since any one of them could show up as a storm all of the sudden when we get closer.

I'm hearing there's major trail damage and the season for some areas may be closed this year due to no funding, What that will do, Is place more pressure and congestion on the areas that will be open making it more dangerous once we finally get riding conditions, The states winter tourism is going to take a major blow.

Ya I’m not saying it’s not cold enough to snow, you’d just think it’s colder at first glance. It’s actually just a seasonable pattern until that real cold push towards the end of weenie range.

There have been plenty of hints of that over the last few days. At this point, why not?

We are approaching 2 years since our last appreciable snow here 

Let’s see how things evolve…at some point the law of averages has to play in too. Between that and a decent active pattern..I think we get some chances.

The state threw some emergency funds at clubs that already got swept up, but looking at another pool of funding coming supposedly to fix washouts and bridges. We've checked half our system and so far so good, but the two bridges I'm most concerned about I'm looking at tomorrow. Hoping they're still there as one is close to 40 feet long

Mm...  suspect the patience for hearing any of this is growing thinner with each passing week of having to wait but, that's a pretty cold signal - relative to latitude-based climatology, wise asses .. Formulating into a higher degree of meridian flow in the hemisphere look through the first week of January - on all three ensemble means. 

( I'm only bothering to mention it because in this malaise of 'been there done that' hand throwing, I suspect a fairly high probability that people have stopped looking lol )

But, the above is showing up now in the numerical telecon projections, with an EPO mode flipping into negative after Dec 30 - it is likely the meridian flow type is now invading the EPO region enough that the EO functions are being numerically forced  ( that oughta ache-up some heads nicely  haha) 

I've been monitoring it and lower EPO index has been increasingly so (2nd derivative).  

Not only that, the distant GEF and GEPs West Pacific Oscillation projections have that index neutralizing, with most of the spread on the low side. What is interesting about both the EPO and WPO, these so-called "control runs"  ( I assume by that they mean, 'call Kevin and ask him what he wants and then the initialize the models to force a sexier solution') are all below the trend line of these index forecast out in time.  So ...whatever that's good for. 

I think the WPO is important as time relentlessly delivers us deeper into the next month (whether we want to or not...).  -WPO sets the table for more MJO phase spaces that actually constructively interfere with the ENSO base.  Sweet!  For winter storm enthusiasts... you really want the AB Pacific circulation variant of the warm ENSO forcing. 

In simple terms ... that would be a meridian conveyor of colder air toward N/A mid latitudes, while the southern stream is moisture jacked. 

I know people want dates.. but I'm talking "deeper into January" because that's all that can be defined for now.  We're not talking about a winter storm here. We're surmising pattern scaffolding.

I get weenied for Saying I think we’ll have some chances?  Wow..some real beauties in here. 

Lot of triggered snowflakes in here the past 18+ months. Don’t worry, for some it’ll make them stronger…for others, they just wilt under the pressure of not getting KUs every year.

This is insane for the time of year and storm track, madness again.  One of the worst Decembers ever.  Also this storm track and outcome hasn’t changed on the OPs from 300+ hours out

Nothing's changed here. Keep on throwing out your scare tactics lol. It was always supposed to be rain next week. 

Oh and again, 300 plus hours out. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. Thanks for your insightful input as usual

Double edge sword. Snow would be nice to get the base down and build from there, but that's going to make it harder to fix the trails. No snow next 7-10days is somewhat of a blessing since the atvs can get in there easier. I donated some money and want to help some clubs but we're out of town tomorrow till Thurs. The hotspots like rangeley, Eustis, jackman and points north that didn't get much damage will be crowded for sure when we get snow
