Last December we were relying on a huge progged NAO block. Those are inherently less stable than N PAC pattern…they have a more stochastic behavior. That’s also probably why you hear a lot of Mets say “I’ll roll the dice with a great PAC look any day”…those tend to verify more than random huge NAO blocks. Of course, if we actually get a great NAO block that pins a TPV in SE Canada, we will clean up, but it’s hard to trust model progs that show that. 
 

Right now, we’re relying on an NAO block for next week as we wait for the PAC to improve further. So it’s not surprising to see these shifts in the SE Canada look that make it harder to snow here. Esp in November. 
 

I’m cautiously optimistic for the first 10 days of December given the vastly improved N PAC. 
 

It’s funny…I went back and looked at some of the progs for last December and even the ones where we had some PNA ridging trying to poke up into EPO domain, we had a vortex over the WPO domain…it was always a turd in the punchbowl lurking beneath the surface. 

 

 

Yes, this season will be better than last in large part due to the WPO ...agreed.

So at 138H the 12Z models have

BUF (Euro)
BAF (Canadian)
Flat and off NJ (ICON, GFS)

Maybe Charlie Brown will kick the football right through the goalposts this year … but I doubt it!

The ability of the northeast and more specifically SNE to find the wrong trend has been uncanny the last 3 years.
I know it’s wicked early and nobody will lose sleep over this because of that, but it’s still pretty incredible 
I had to deal with that year after year in the Southeast... You have any idea how many coastals I have watched NW-Trended their way into an Apps Rubber and seeing social media show beautiful picks from Gatlinburg&Asheville while I am stuck at 32.5 and rain or get screwed by a warm nose and have IP/ZR? For me it is an *expectation* to see it near go time even 12 hours out by being NAM'ed so for me it is "believe it when the flakes are falling".


(Sorry if this sounds insensitive to anyone, I'm just freaking numb to seeing it and can relate to the disappointment)

Everyone is in the believe it until see it mode. Zero expectations. 

Add me to that list......No expectations this year and any year moving forward. I will celebrate dustings like they are blizzards, LOL.

I am leaning towards a flatter solution but not committing to anything until at least Monday.

I'm in the snow hole SE of the Catskills and we get the down slope warming during all the NW cold air outbreaks and inland storm tracks that's only just starting to show up on climatology maps. It's annoying

We lose out from downsloping too, but we also save a lot of snow, both in the air and on the ground, through CAD.  Maybe the clown maps don't account for that?

Prob need to start a December thread but EPS not backing down on the PAC pattern. Really consistent with holding that ridge axis right over the west coast

I think after whatever happens next week, my gut says we stein for several days with the cold, and then wait until maybe after the 5th or so.

Well if you look at everything from The last 2 years as far as who to trust more, I would say go in the middle, but it is still a week out. All I care about is that we don't have a snowstorm on Thanksgiving itself.

So "right thru the goalposts" but under the crossbar?  :D
Looks like our first snow here will be while we're in SNJ where it will be RA.  Maybe we can get caught in a storm when we return on Dec 3 or 4. 
On our first visit a few weeks after they moved there from DEC in Jan 2015, we delayed the northerly drive from Jan 27th to the 28th, thus avoiding the 30"+ blizzard in SNE.  Got home about 6 PM to find 20" of single digit sand that wouldn't pack underfoot but made our feet slide sideways - missed the most powerful January snowstorm that has hit where I was living at the time.  :(

Yeah that seems the most likely. Though can’t rule out something smaller embedded around the TPV.

models start bringing the baroclinic zone northward with more precip around the 5th. luckily we should have a cold airmass established unlike with the Thanksgiving storm

Yup.  I have a couple of their tools and the batteries are interchangeable.  Definitely curious how it handles a N ORH county winter. 
My old Crapsman snowblower still runs but I want to move to electric. Less maintenance etc.  

I want to get one next year, but I'll wait until I move to Maine. I'll sell the gas one, EGO seems to have the most powerful electric tools.

The market for gas snowblowers now make them a bargain.  I bought a nice Ariens 2 years ago mainly because it was way less expensive vs 2 years prior.  But rechargeable battery operated with charge batteries in reserve is definitley the way to go.  I may try to sell my Ariens after the season and get a comparable rechargeable for future years
