I’d say Winnipeg is on the edge with this one. I’d even be worried in Edmonton or Calgary. I think Whitehorse might be in the sweet spot at this point.
Its amazing we can't even hold good modeled patterns for more than a day. How are we ever supposed to get a snowstorm? Smh
Exactly. As it stands right now it's a miller b with the parent dying in OH/WV and a secondary taking off along the coastal trough in eastern NC probably some actual onset ice and maybe a decent ice event for the immediate foothills.
You would think in time the wave would start to move a little south/sheared/weaker but then again we had a similar situation to this a few years ago and it didn't happen so.

I really don't see any potential for winter storms east of the mountains or in the deep south anytime soon. I think we are all trying to hunt for things that just aren't there including myself. I hope I'm wrong
Some local meteorologists are already saying as much as 3-6 inches of snow in OKC on Sunday. Should that happen that would be near a top 10 snowfall for them in the past 20 years.
I hope the Mid Atlantic snowstorm is gone on the 18z run..

Wet snow makes for harder shoveling. I'll take dry snow.
Glenn burns say he can “almost guarantee a good snow” for north Georgia this winter.
It’s all over. Time to pack it up this winter.

Sun angle starts increasing in 11 days. Can't wait for the longer days. Actually the afternoons are already starting to gain daylight while the mornings continue to lose daylight.

There's a very interesting backstory on that event haha, this storm in May 1939 according to reports from Roxboro, Oxford, & Henderson occurred in the middle of the day from 10am-12pm with heavy rain & thunderstorms transitioning to a thundergraupel, thundersleet, and thundersnow mix that accumulated to 1-2" in total for the VA border counties. Just goes to show the sun angle doesn't mean crap when you're socked in w/ clouds and heavy precipitation is falling!
The April 1983 storm is a freak event (not as extreme as May 1939 obviously), with a very deep upper level trough & accompanying coastal low off the Carolinas providing moderate-heavy precipitation and cold air advection which was just barely enough to flip many to very wet snow. This Apr 1983 event also possessed an unusually intense subtropical jet, as you'd probably suspect given we were still in the middle of the 1982-83 "Super" El Nino.
Yea me either. I really looking forward to humidity, unrelenting heat, the sun chasing me like the one in super mario 3, the a/c running 18 hours a day, every surface on my car being made of lava.
I don't know how anyone could hate summer.
I know some of y’all aren’t to happy with modeling, but I almost guarantee if we keep that -NAO for even 2-3 weeks, somebody is gonna cash in on a big dog.

They have their charm until about 7/1 and then I lose my patience
Thats been the great thing about working from home, I have my desk right in front of a window so I get to see it all day.
Happy hour GFS just went full tilt for the OKC snowstorm this weekend. If I didn’t have to study for finals this weekend I would already be halfway to Oklahoma. Lol
