Will
have to monitor rather potent shortwave approaching from the
midwest saturday...which is progged to move across the northeast
saturday night into christmas day. Where the associated surface
low tracks is still very much in question...but with arctic high
poised over eastern canada...ptype doesn`t appear to be in
question. Have indicated a low chance for snow christmas eve into
christmas day...but this situation bears watching for those
looking for a white christmas or with travel plans next weekend.

I'll hang my hat on anything at this point that calls for snow. Holy crap we need a shot of it. Anything just to make it look like winter will help my mood greatly.

6z and 12z gfs look alot warmer, given that + 5 days out in this pattern I am worried about ptype still
It would be typical that I would build a snowthrower, and then it will sonw the same day :lol:
It's all good though, I'll take the natural stuff anyday, please just let it DUMP

Don't have to have a -NAO for a snowstorm. You do need one however for sustained cold and I agree it has not flipped yet (AO either). Still believe that flip is coming down the line. Its been warm for a while now and no pattern lasts forever so I like or chances for the second half of the season.

Gotta hope that this time around that there actually is transfer of energy from the original low pressure system that is looking like it wants to track up the St. Lawrence River Valley to the secondary low off the Middle Atlantic Coast and then some strong development of that Low in the still WARM waters of the Atlantic (heck just in the last day or so the water temperature out in Long Island Sound FINALLY dropped below 50 degrees).
At this moment in time though what we really need is just SUSTAINED cold weather. Natural snow would be nice, but 1 storm won't have the the naturals and tree areas suddenly open. It will help, but many a tree area, has a bunch more debris down than usual this year. So a number of "moderate" wet snow, base building storms will be even more important than usual for many a tree area this season

NOAA's maps are showing pretty much off and on snow from late Thursday night until Monday for most of the interior Northeast.
That would be nice.
That would be nice.

Snow tires are going on Friday morning so this will probably fizzle out. Sorry ...
Take one for the team and wait until it snows. :roll:
