Outside of the elevations and inland in NNE, It would be a rainer.

For sure..been looking like that on whatever it does for a while now.  But Let’s get some snow laid down for us in our favorite spots…and then bring the cold in to tighten it up.

I'd rather get the ground frozen to start with, Looks like its going to be a cold start to December so that helps.

I've been saying this for a while.  The last couple of winters have featured trails melting from the ground up.

Who’s kicking the can Luke? The first week of December is a lot more conducive to something wintry than this week.  That’s kicking the can now.  You’re in a bad place bro. 

WW ... You know the deal...same S$#t.. different year.

You have Jbenedet with his typical warm and no chance of the pattern producing Snow, to DIT with his famous line " Steiner "... But we know how he rolls. Once we have a Snow event... He'll be right on top of it with the enthusiasm of a 10 year old boy ( like the rest of us of course ).

There's a group of people here that love to stir the pot. I used to take the bait and get sensitive... But learned it's all part of the game... :-)

That's the ideal scenario but for the last several years it has not been the case.

For sure. But we can’t order what we want unfortunately lol. So imo, a few inches won’t insulate the ground much from the cold coming like a 12-18 incher would.  But that’s just me.

I guess this could be posted in the December thread, but one thing that hopefully works in our favor moving through the first half of December is a less chaotic flow and pattern which are loaded with shortwaves. A huge part of the reason why guidance has struggled so much, particularly ensembles is the barrage of shortwaves. One model run and one model would highlight one shortwave as the main player while another model choose another and it was just constant flip-flopping. 

The northern stream should offer us plenty of chances for clippers and/or re-developing clippers off the coast. Looks like we may lose some STJ for a while, which isn't a bad thing at all but once we get a bit of a STJ connection going again, as long as we continue with the troughing signal in the East, we'll open the door for coastals.

Agreed, I always thought that some of that stuff was overplayed...like the snow cover in southeast Canada, lack of snow cover on the ground here, etc. Sure there is some influence, but it isn't going to have any bearing on the overall pattern. If the pattern is in place and you have favorable shortwave evolution and interaction, who cares if there is or isn't snow pack across southeast Canada or our region.

Agreed on what you said completely.  

We were taking about having the ground freeze first, and then bring the snow so a base could be firmly established in the sledding areas.  I was just saying a few inches shouldn’t keep the ground from freezing if we have some good cold this time around.  A huge snowfall can do that.

LOL at the weekend TV Met crew I watched while at the gym on Saturday. All of them highlighted a snowstorm on Friday. They’re as bad as we are. 

I'm not sure we would be discussing it much at the WFO except for the fact that it will be a high travel day plus all of our partners are going home Wednesday and we effectively lose a day of communication there.

Ice fishing by mid month? Like days of yore when the olds used to get out there weekend after Thanksgiving.

The quest for ratings has ruined on air weather forecasting...

There should be a fund raiser to bring back some of the TV mets from the past!
