NAM money shot - whips up the LP (stronger) and jogs it a bit more North

GFS also trending stronger with interactions with northern energy. More interactions the colder the air involved, so long as the interactions occur early enough. I like what I see for areas N of the city latitude. Still think flakes could fly for LI esp N of the LIE.

South of say Staten Island ehh not looking good. Bronx on north I like to see at least flakes flying

Watch the 552 line slowly sink south of LI with the latest run and the interactions are earlier. All good trends

CP, welcome back into the fold. While you wait for flakes to fly, may I suggest you listen to the Tom Petty channel on Sirius. Music is always right with the world; snow, not so much. Snow has forsaken these parts. May I be proven a liar with my pants on fire.

aaahhh. this is very slightly pulling me back in. Still recovering from the Winter that Never Was. Tom Petty- one of the best.

I'm predicting and saying no snow (not that my opinion is worth anything, its not) but reverse jinx. 0 inches of snow this winter, a forecast based scientificly on the amount of leaves fallen in my back yard.

Where’s all your forcing for ascent, though, Scott? It’s already over eastern New England. Too little, too late. This was one of the points I mentioned the other day.

Hey mugs, I have 1.78" as of 9:30pm. Not feeling any snow here, maybe a little white rain. Temps and ground too warm. Maybe any leftover wet areas will freeze tomorrow night, but I'll be surprised if we see anything stick.

It is actually snow at the 850 levels in the atmosphere part NWNJ is reporting sleet now. The changeover is beginning as the LP deepens off the Delmarva.

7 am 35 degrees and steady, heavy slop falling. 7-11 slushy type stuff.

Breezy, about 5 mph. Dark, depressing. It is always darkest before the dawn.

32.9° and Snowing moderately

Beginning to stick to deck and some grassy areas.

I'm only 45 miles north of the city so it may get into areas that didn't expect it.

Large flakes now and it is sticking some. Snowfall is steady but the field of it looks thin when I look straight through it. It actually has dropped 2 degrees to 33.

Down to 32.4° with moderate steady snow.

Sticking to trees and grassy areas now and looking winter like, which is always nice.

So most of us will end up only having to go from May 10 to October 29th without seeing snow or in some cases measurable snow. Amazing when you consider what went on during most of last Winter. We shouldn't even refer to it as winter, it was just an extended Fall.

Let's hope for once another accumulating October snow doesn't lead to a crappy Winter. These always leave me feeling uneasy because I've seen this script end in disaster too many times.

Hey CP.  One can only hope.  In general I believe the reason there seems to be a crappy winter following Oct snow is that the major SSTA, esp in the Pac, that lend itself to early anomalous cold and snowfall tend to also lend themselves to a wearmer patter taking shape as the seasonal shift takes hold.  To explain better recall we almost always make statements regarding the MJO that the same MJO phase during sept Oct Nov can be very different in say Dec Jan Feb.  Just look at the comparisons of phase 1 & 5 for SON vs DJF

October 2020 Obs and Discussion - Page 6 Mjo10

To complicate this year even more I stole this image from John Homenuck(earthlight) twitter page.  He took the avg 500mb pattern for all prev La Nina analogues  for Sept and Oct and compared them to 2020's sept and oct avg 500mb pattern.  Clearly there are other factors at play here, but you can see the challenges this year presents in their long range forecasts
