For those who like visuals…you can see what I mean on the H5 plot here. Stretched out TPV lobe to our north and northeast which really holds that high in by acting as a brick wall and forcing the confluence with the trough moving eastward. That look has been largely absent the last couple winters. 
 

 

During my college years in the early 2000s, I seem to remember having one of these storms in early December, multiple years in a row. Any similarities?

Yes. 2002 and 2003 both had events on 12/5.

Maybe CT will break off and float away into the Atlantic

Which one came with some serious cold? I used to have a Christmas party early in December and one was absolutely frigid.

That would certainly help our chances with tropical though.

Probably 02 if I had to guess.

Both were pretty cold right before the event. 2002 had a quick arctic shot a few days after the event where I think temps got near 0.

Both actually but 2003 was really cold with a lot more snow

Are you talking about that December Jerry? Or 02-03 in general? If it’s the latter, then that’s why I guessed December of 02, because I remember the 02-03 winter being cold and snowy.

December but both were cold winters with January 2004 frigid!  December featured a relaxed pattern but a rather stormy period around the holidays in 2002.  The 2003 December storm was bigger but my recollection is the rest of the month was not so great.  We then had suppression for the heart of winter but you may have done ok south of the pike in CT.  NYC cleaned up in 2003-04.

Yes, I do remember 04’s January frigid spell now that you say that..single digits for highs.

I mentioned earlier. My knowledge is limited, but in my eyes, this is easily the best look we’ve had in 2 years. Don’t care if it’s November 30th

I actually told a bunch of these guys here in our text group I was expecting a very ugly Dallas season this year. They’ll verify that . I worried about the run defense, no RB, and lack of depth at WR. Unfortunately they’re even worse than I thought and  I didn’t expect them to be better than .500

The "Moodus Noise" acting up. "Moodus" is a Native American word for "noise;" Moodus, CT and surroundings sit over what is apparently an active fault. My in laws have a summer cottage on a lake a couple of miles from Moodus center, and it is not unusual to hear a distant, sonic like, boom which has been an ongoing phenomenon for centuries-- on rare occasions accompanied with ground shaking like in this evening's 2.3 magnitude quake.

Positive snow depth increase is the map to use with the mild low level airmass.
