Ostrich December

Incoming 84/72 days all January long for you! Might need to come down and enjoy some of that it's getting a little chilly up here!

It can be as warm as it wants to in January since I won't be here. Now if Metz ends up being way warmer than normal and wet I will not be a happy camper.
 
Probably looks way better because we might finnaly tap into a true source of cold with that look at H5, not Canadian crap
I really like the idea of either getting a pv lobe between hudson Bay and the Davis strait like the gfs has or getting a west based nao there.

Given western Europe’s last 10 years the odds are high that will be the case . I don’t think our southernwx buddies realize just how torchy Western Europe has been compared to even us !
 
I’m about to take my first winterlike walk of the season. Temps in the mid to high 40s with a breeze. Can’t wait!

Correction: windy as heck!!

Recap: It turned out to be porto-John door flapping, trash can flipping, , nose numbing, roaring windy! Many gusts had to be well into the 30s! The temp at the end of the walk was 45, meaning windchills way down around the low 30s!
 
GEFS was actually very interesting in the medium and long range definitely CAD showing up but ice storms that have to potential to go big snow storms ... some monster storms tho in the long range just not for the south yet
 
Hope the Euro is wrong Friday night. Rain in the 30's in Boone for the 8;30 kickoff. UGH

Euro has Tropical Storm make landfall and turn into a Mtn Snowcane late next week

Definitely, a good look on the 00z EPS and 06z GEFS. Right now we want to see that trough axis shift southward with more blocking over the top before we get a real snow signal, although this may just be due to model dispersion. Right now we’re seeing an Anafront look.

What a beautiful Miller A map. True -NAO with a great +PNA and western ridge placement. Haven't seen that in a decade that I can recall. WAR has been with us for a very long time.

Well, it's December. Time to start watching the models for the next few weeks to look for pattern hints on the upcoming the winter. Late December into January is my gametime, now to the holiday is more like pregame. Let's see where we go from here. Step 1: Hopefully we can move the PV closer N Canada as opposed to Siberia.

Yes late December and early January is normally pretty good for us! Troutman right up the road from me
 
Weak CAD look. Get the ridge over the GL stronger, and you’ve got a bigger deal.

Note this is the Miller-B composite.View attachment 54953

Man I love what you have done with these composites, looks beautiful. It’s actually really cool that we can look at a synoptic and planetary scale wave patterns and evaluate the types of winter storms we could see, going beyond the simpler questions of whether we may could see snow/ice or not. It’s good to see these composites standing up to model forecasts in real time even if those wintry solutions are fantasy
 
The Canadian ensembles continue to be very aggressive with their disturbing of the pv at 10mb with the gefs not quite as aggressive but still showing a nice warming and squeezing of the pv.
Obviously the models are less than ideal with their forecasts at 10mb but it's worth continuing to watch. At least in a disturbed off center state we can establish some HLB and cold shots instead of the polar buzzsaw we had last year
