Good morning --  Winter starts Friday (climatological seasons for the win), and our regular snow birds are coming back to roost for the winter. As such our threads are becoming more active, espec

Seconded. And while we're at it, yall remember when posting a model post 200 hours was scorned upon?  Remember how the community would collectively rain hell on a poster who did that?  It's not a

Augusta Phil said NADA, foolishness. 

He left me hanging with the GFS op and the GEFS.

When in drought, leave it out is well known with professionals.

But, throwing that aside, I cannot find supporting temperatures with any model except the op GFS. That is NONSENSE!  We are so starved for snow that we are grasping for straws.............................

The 18Z GFS has warmed and reduced snow potential.  It is left hanging with no support.

I see scattered snow - showers Tue/Wed with any accumulation mostly confined to western highlands above 1800 ft..................................

The flow is chaotic as hell. Good opportunity for you to sharpen your skills on upper level analysis instead of focusing on the pretty digital blue colors(or lack there of) at the surface.

And if your upper level skill isn't quite there...just unplug until Monday, lol Chaotic flows, chaotic runs, and even less certainty outside of a couple days.

One of the potential wild cards this winter was the very high stratospheric water vapor from the Hunga Tonga eruption. Water vapor strongly emits thermal IR radiation, which serves to cool the atmosphere in the winter stratosphere where little or no sunlight  reaches. So potentially, that could lead to a colder and stronger strat winter polar vortex, that if coupled with the troposphere, would encourage +AO. Obviously it’s early, but the strat vortex is going to be quite weak most likely at least well into December and potentially beyond.

Fwiw..... gfs for central Maryland  for the 6th....  and sterling  discusses it. They are going to monitor it for now....

 

trailing trough looks to dive across the Ohio/Tennessee River Valleys Tuesday night, then move offshore of the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday. The placement of this trough, as well as ridging upstream over the Rockies (with an axis through Idaho) and downstream ridging near Greenland would favor unsettled weather locally. However, the favorable ridge/trough/ridge configuration is transient, lasting only 6-12 hours, so things would have to come together just right for a more impactful storm east of the mountains. There may be enough cold air in place for wintry precipitation types, however, so this period will require close monitoring.

Damn it! I missed happy hour earlier in here. How’s our 1” flizzard looking for PSU next week? Honestly that’s all that matters right? Winter depends on it!! Well that AND the state of the SBFI index (Scraff Beer Fridge Index). I’ve heard the more beer in the fridge = more snow and Jebwalks.IMG_8309.thumb.jpeg.7478a1f61ccfbd5261caf2c52823f710.jpegI dunno. Seems legit. Don’t judge. I’m gonna roll wit dat shit. LOL  :drunk:

It still seems like we’re in a pseudo/residual La Niña until the actual El Niño effects ramp up.

Before everyone falls off the cliff over the latest Can. Seasonal, I thought it interesting that its latest weekly is different even for December.  So I am tossing it. (WB)

 

Not sure why anyone would care too much about a seasonal tool at this point. Winter is here. We have better options for guidance at least in to Jan. Maybe beyond that you give it some consideration. Having said all that, what's wrong with it? The general h5 depiction for Feb and March look especially good.
