Winter Weather 2018 - 2019

The forecast is for another half inch of rain at Magic on NYE.

This current weather pattern is a killer for the northeast.

I bet ticket sales are pretty low this week as well.

Man today really sucked. No significant snow forecasted for as far as the eye can see. Cold weather will allow snow making at resorts but nothing to help the back country.

What really sucks is that there is nothing fun to do! The wonderful snow we had is gone, so bye bye skiing for a bit. it's too muddy to ride my horse, thanks to all the rain and the 20 inches of snow that has melted. I might have to actually clean my basement the way things are going!!

Well said.   Was looking at even hiking on New Year’s Day but the trails anywhere everywhere will be a mess after all the rain and snow melt

We get a mud season whether we like it or not.  Sometimes it just seems preferable to have it in November and have winter when it's supposed to happen.

Well, Baker has almost 5 feet of snow in the ten day.......time to start figuring a trip, so as to avoid the east coast skiing doldrums.  Oh, that November powder day, there will always be that.

On the upside of the warm weather, it’s been 80 degrees in Orlando.  So, with thoughts of the PNW dancing in my head, I’ll enjoy another Elysian Space Dust by the pool to ease the pain!

I was just in Colorado last weekend avoiding deluge #1. It was great!

Really shouldn't go back on another west coast ski detour on account of my finances but have another business trip out west in two weeks...this weather pattern is NOT helping me be fiscally responsible!

Ha!

West coast business trips.....kind of a love/hate thing.  Sometimes you just gotta remind yourself....you can’t take it to the grave!

The Gold Standard of PNW IPAs... if you're having another... you've probably had too many.

Cold air pushed back?

There's an artichoke on bottle! My favorite food group! How bad can it be? ;)

I'm going to change my avatar back to the grumpy old man if this weather doesn't change.

I know I gave you a hard time about that. I think I will allow it. It can be a bell weather. As long as you change it back when it dumps.

Off topic, I know, but I get all hopped up for artichoke shit!

Ok look people who I respect are calling this fake news, but I thought among us I could share.  Take with a shot of grain.

it's not fake, i'm sure it will happen too
i'm flight that day

Please tell more.

way to early to speculate.. something will be coming up the coast..question is as always the positioning..

NWS ALY

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/

The Thursday through Friday time frame continues to feature a low confidence forecast, as model guidance showing considerable disagreement with regards to timing and track of a potential significant storm system approaching from the west.

Main challenge is how models are handling potential phasing of northern/southern stream energy. It appears the ECMWF continues to be most consistent, indicating a progressive upper level low tracking east into the southern Appalachians by Thursday night, then phasing with a northern stream trough on Friday inducing cyclogenesis near the southern New England coast.

The GFS and CMC are also now indicating phasing and coastal development, although have this occurring much earlier (Thursday night as opposed to Friday). The GFS is depicting a more southerly track and thus lighter QPF in our area, while the CMC has a track closer to the ECMWF (although much earlier).
