Through the first ten days of the month, December is sitting at -1.2F. My inclination, however, is no. The month will probably finish above normal. We shall see. Departure down to -0.6F as of yesterday. With a high temperature of 58F earlier, today should push it into the positive range for the first time this month.

Rd9108 Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 05:49 PM Something to watch is a sneaky little wave right around Christmas. After that we warm up due to the MJO but long range looks promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted Friday at 03:21 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:21 AM Are we ever going to get excited to track a storm? Ever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if the good looks keep progressing forward. Last year they would fade away as it got close to day 10. If it does Ill start to get interested.

blackngoldrules Posted Friday at 03:57 AM Share Posted Friday at 03:57 AM I heard that all last winter.... the long range never came.Getting the feeling this is going to be another below normal winter. Maybe much below normal again. Maybe not as bad as last year, but wouldn't surprise me if we end up with 20 to 25 inches for the season. I have nothing scientific backing me up on that, just a feel. Unfortunately, I had that feel at the beginning of last winter as well.Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo74 Posted Friday at 01:02 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:02 PM So far it's been nice with a few bursts and a few small top ups to keep everything fresh and white, but after a couple weeks with nothing and the bare ground/trees, it's hard not to feel pessimistic. Nice little quick duster coming through now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted Friday at 02:32 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:32 PM Pleasant surprise this morning. Looks like we still have showers rolling through the area and then that Christmas eve wave could still drop another inch to give everybody a white Christmas. After that looks like the New Year we see a new pattern develop and then we can really start tracking winter events. I don't share your guys pessimism I think we atleast reach average totals this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some pavement caving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't share your guys pessimism I think we atleast reach average totals this year. Id say I'm more cautiously optimistic for early Jan than pessimistic. Still no signs of a rug pull on the good looks so, fingers crossed. Too soon to nitpick details, but the general look could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted Friday at 02:52 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:52 PM 1.5” this morning with no tracking invested. Sticking to everything. Nice little “free” snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Friday at 03:26 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:26 PM Nice little event this morning. I measured about 1.3” on an elevated flat surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted Friday at 04:18 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:18 PM Getting over 4” for December is a win this year I think. We can still have a good winter. Really this month hasn’t been all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a fair start for December purposes. Below the 30-year average of 7.8" in the month, but the best December of the last four. Seems we've paid a bit for that epic 2020 December. That said, if you add up the last five Decembers, we still average around that 7" mark. Quote: "That's how averages work!" lol. The good news in the long-term is, at least for now, we're not seeing a true blow torch pattern. Odds are it shows up eventually, but we at least have cold coming in-and-out. We'll moderate between Christmas and New Years, then afterwards another -EPO reinforcement sets up more cold air in the contiguous U.S. Most of the teleconnections look favorable around early January, too. MJO going into Phase 7, potentially. -NAO and -AO. Ridging out west and a trough setup over the East. About all you can ask for in any given pattern. We'll work out the discrete threats down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:25 AM Long range still looks promising. I think a warning level storm would satisfy everybody's itch even if we don't reach our average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:36 AM It looks like a few lake effect streamers Sat morning -early afternoon. It looks like some people may get a surprise inch while some will get nothing. Something to watch depending on who gets underneath one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streamers look to mean business this morning Around the city and north and west of there based on radar looking like a pretty decent setup currently. Those things can definitely over perform. Think Ill be a little to far East based on wind trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
