NAM and ICON both have snow Monday

If and when it does snow, I’m envisioning more than a few posters here “enjoying” the event like this

it's too bad folks don't channel a mental space where they see realistically plausible corrections.

some can rely upon that visualization space, one that is constructed out of what can happen and what needs to happen to get it done ...  it's like an "effective imagination,"  not just imagining and waiting.    

it seems like people have to actually see the object on the daily modeling cinema.   it's not always the case ... some of the times there's stuff going on that is - I guess ... - just outside of capacitance to sense or detect it for those. and so this mood thing gets entirely controlled by the unknowable. 

man, that's a weird hell. 

It will be a warm month, but we've seen worse...some opportunity.

Some souls are so broken, a blizzard could slap ‘em in the face and they’d still complain that they weren’t slapped hard enough.

Maybe winter will suck but lol at losing your mind over lack of snow in SNE on 12/13. Imagine canceling summer in early June because we haven’t had dews yet.

Wasn't there a report of 36" from White Horse in the 96 storm or are we just talking official reporting stations?

I'm sure it's official co-ops, and a big report like that would be subject to QC.  The early Feb storm in 2021 included a 35" report from Mt. Arlington but the checking dropped that to upper 20s.  (That site still had more snow in Feb than I had for the entire season.  Not a good look.)

I think this is a product of literally being controlled by the models. It's all good and fun looking in the fantasy range for storms but some take it way too seriously and close to heart...so naturally when these don't verify the panic button is pressed because it seems like, "we're losing opportunities". Or on the other end, when the OP looks "dry" in the long-range the panic button is pushed.

Kids will be asking why are there so many songs about snow on Christmas?  What is a white Christmas?  

Hey, that movie's theme was a winter resort about to go bankrupt due to lack of snow - 70+ years ago (until the sappy happy ending).

Still 9" of ironclad at the stake, probably 3" or more SWE.  If that gets Grinched to brown ground, there would be some flood headlines.

[dendrite]

Still a 5” glacier here as well. 

[dryslot]

Lot of doomers and gloomers in here.

Boy do I remember this one. I was in my early thirties... I worked in West Hartford, but lived in Somers, Connecticut. I was one of those people stuck in the traffic, but the roads were horrific. We were bumping each other on 91 North heading into Windsor. My heart was racing, and I basically had a anxiety attack on my ride home. It took me 6 and 1/2 hours to get home. I'll never forget that storm.

Wednesday night and Thursday look good on the GFS for central New England

I remember it too but I was lucky and didn't have to go out on appts that day, so I watched it from the comfort of my warm office with a wood stove cranking.

I thought that most of what we got this week was gonna be rain?

yeah this may end up being a solid storm for up that way. 

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

Got down to 16.3° this morning. Good chance of single digit temps the next couple nights. Had to take the stratus inside so it could thaw, lol.

Only need to consolidate those 20 or so lows on that front into one, Airmass is garbage though for the 20th

Something to watch going forward anyways, Week away and many changes to go.

I actually agree with this statement. 

One key to watch I think is with the front Tuesday. It's a weak front but that could set the baroclinic zone which could come in play for the Thursday ordeal. There has been some signals for cyclogenesis to actually occur closer to the coast versus inland over the mid-Atlantic.

Summer won’t be cancelled anymore under the new Greta regime.

This would fit the seasonal trend of things trending better as they get closer, particularly central New England and north.GYX not on board as of the overnight

[weatherwiz]

Too add on to that statement as well, I feel like if we're going to get a region-wide solid storm, it isn't something that is going to be well modeled several days in advance. It will be a product of subtle trends leading up to the day or two before. Perhaps this will such a scenario.

12z GFS cooking up a coastal on the 22nd again, Ends up a HV runner this run.
