Winter is about to start

[snowdog]

I remember some good winters but I was a kid at the time.  10" total winter snowfall would be a good winter now-a-day.  Sucks.

I can't imagine the 20-30 inch winters that Nashville got in the 60s and 70s. 5" seems like the norm now.

Next week is winter weather awareness in Tennessee. The 16-20 of November. Wow. Its almost time.

Interesting medium range right now.....

[Clay]

What are you referring to?

34.1 in Bellevue and dropping.

[Charles L.]

I got down to 35.1F for my low and that was around 6 this morning.

hey guys look around the 22-the 27 on the models there showing a huge trough for the east i know you think its gonna go away but the models have been showing it for 4 days

I hope that if this late November/Early December cold pattern that may happen happens I hope the Grinch in the Pacific aka PNA/EPO can corporate and make things happen. Or else it could be the Grinch stole the White Christmas and December Snow for a lot of the country.

Other than that I am thinking positive except for that.

Still out in "voodooland".  Wait until we're within 5 days of an event...if it's still there, then it might be something.  Usually, the models have a hard enough time picking out details even a few days ahead of time.

i meant to mention that it was voodoo but i forgot but its not usual for that to happen

[Nashville_wx]

Depends on what discussion you are in. I would be happy to start a thread that we can discuss the extended range in. As I said earlier I am wanting the medium range right now for changes in the overall pattern. Dec 10th-15th depending on how things tilt and how some overall waves progress. Models have also been showing a strong UUL developing in the plains, and models have been back and forth on its progress. Lots to watch right now that is for sure!

[Nashville_wx]

All on board. This ULL is going to give the first winter weather for some select areas. This will be fun to watch!

GFS is advertising the first snowfall for our region. Hey its fun to look at even tho it is pretty far out.

Not that it will happen cause most likely it wont but I have notice modeling indicating a change to cold weather the week of Thanksgiving. This has been shown pretty much consistently for the past week. So to me def. looks like at the least finally a change from this more zonal flow to what could lead to Eastern troughing to develop.
