Pattern December - Deal or No Deal?

The 18z FV3 is very interesting. After the big possible phaser next week, it repeats the same senario almost twice more. Once more about three days later and again near Christmas. If this becomes the theme as it gets colder again, we wont make it.
Wasn’t this last storm a cutter that trended south?
 
Actually, the FV3 showed a winter storm, then was cutting consistently while other models were south, then eventually I think on the day we started the storm thread for this previous winter storm, it pumped out an absolute weenie clown map and pretty much locked into a SE winter storm the rest of the way.

It showed the winter storm at HR 384, btw lmao.
 
EPO looks to go negative, PNA a raging positive, AO way down ... and every forecast is for a warm 2nd half of the month ... what could go (be) wrong? Maybe MJO phases 4 and 5 ... :confused:

Yea here it is. 26C0E795-C6AD-4D0F-ACBE-A901F2AA7A74.gif
 
Hopefully southern Wake County gets a nice winter storm soon. You guys are due. Southeastern Wake has probably received less than half of the snowfall that Northwestern Wake has in the past few years. I'm not expecting anything for the next 2-3 weeks but maybe you'll get another chance in January.
Thanks! I hope we get a good one this winter!
 
Rain cold, I got about 1 1/2 inch of sleet out of about 3.2” of qpf!! Temp was 34 degrees at lowest point! What could have been......?
The stickage and accums on the roads especially, were very impressive for a 34-37 degree sleet event! Rates did overcome !!!
 
Posted at the same time. lol great minds think alike.
Amen to that... I'm putting my chips in around that period I mean we have to finally score big on that period... Also I still think we have a chance at some snow this weekend from a upper level low... Models have been consistently showing a upper level low swing through from Texas through Alabama
 
GFS 0z continues to show that low. You can tell there is a very tall ridge out west. It's pushing the disurbance southward, which is good. We want that text book Miller A track, no warm noses to deal with all the way from the deep south to Maine!
