December 2024 - Best look to an early December pattern in many a year!

Does anyone else feel in a weird spot between time moving faster but also slower? October absolutely flew by as did November...but it seemed like time slowed a bit towards the end of November. It seems like December is going by quickly...but slowly at the same time. Not sure if the weather is factoring into that at all but think about this...

We have not even officially hit winter yet and it feels like winter has sucked lmao. I mean...it's only freaking mid-December lol. It's like there is so much investment in OP runs looking at storms that pop up at 240+ hours that after like a month of being into the cool season, it's nothing but mental exhaustion. Reading some of the posts over the last week or two...you would think we're in like mid-February or late February and haven't had anything...it's only mid-December and we just hit that point. I gotta stop doing that too and breathe and realize its only mid-December.

Can't have too much life left. NBM MOS will replace it and the GFS MOS sooner rather than later. 

Hopefully the NBM continues to be enhanced/improved too. That even seems to really suck...and in the same situations as NAM/GFS. I get its just a tool and you need to do more in-depth looking but if you're not in a position to be able to do that...oof that thing can really screw you. 

I do like though how the NBM at least indicates the presence of high clouds (above like 11,000 feet or 12,000 feet). This is probably why there are so many "busts" on sky cover...MOS doesn't report clouds above a certain height.

My labs loved the snow, used run head on into the drifts and had to hop out.

Our Lab mix quickly learned to love the snow (other than the Pi-Day blizzard in 2017, which spooked her big time).  However, the "mix" failed to include "retriever" and she doesn't like the (liquid) water.  Our black Lab (2003-16) would be in any water, any season, any conditions.

Yea. I mentioned I hate seeing the deep troughs establishing itself in the Northeast Pac /gulf of AK. That’s a hostile look for sne and would require some Atl assistance which doesn’t look like the case. It’s gonna get ugly for a bit and I don’t think it recovers as quickly as guidance may start showing. 

It never does... recovery from AN periods are almost rushed on the modeling; sometimes by a week or two.  As good as Jan 2015 trended, it also was slower than expected...

telecons don't look great for winter enthusiasm heading into january frankly ...  

the wpo/epo are solidly switching modes in the outlook and the positive pna starts to collapse after xmas.  it tries to maintain a modest positive aspect out there in the deep range.... but that's all there is to really stop this bus from driving down a different road entirely.   believe me, we've been fortunate - as bad as the payoff has been - to this point.   should we lose that n/pac arc, and then say if the pna goes neg ... you will be shock and awed at how bad this winter would be.  

70s in jan in a cc attributionist's fantasy, no problem

Isn't there a link where you can see seasonal snowfall to-date compared to average? I would have to think even the West is below-average now...or if not many places will be soon. 

They'll be making up ground for sure, especially Sierra on north. You know what that means here.

Unfortunately :axe:
Maybe the Sierra's will get another stretch where they get 500'' of snow in like a week lol. 
You see, that is the only reason why I don't mind being torchy for a week or so, they DESPERATELY rely on the snowpack generated from a -PNA to offset their brutal summer water loss rates

Won't really matter once California breaks away and floats westwards through the Pacific...or the entire state is engulfed in a wildfire.

Huge positive bust last Feb. positive bust 10 days ago, positive bust today too…I’m liking the Tenor. 

This morning at 6am I hit exactly 10" for the season (6" alone from that over-performing clipper 10 days ago).  The long-term average for this area is 9.6 to 10.4" for December, depending on what data source you look at.   Now I feel the essential numbness that arises with climate equilibrium.
