Andie Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I will be visiting Abilene again in December. I hope it is as much fun as last year. We had 70s and sunshine followed by 30s and thunderstorms and then 20s and snow! Oh don't bet on it. I've heard it will be a slightly warm winter. So you'll get your higher temps, but sadly I don't think we'll see snow this year. I hope I'm wrong along with all the other party poopers. Right now I'm just hoping for regular rain.

Phil Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Finally obtained our first sub-50 high of the season. Pathetically late, but it's progress at least.

Phil Posted November 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well, the 12z ECMWF is quite fun. Has heavy rain w/ temps in the 70s, changing over to snow w/ temps in the mid/upper 30s just 6hrs later with howling winds. Looks like 40-60mph gusts are possible with ideal mixing/proper orientation of the gradient.

weatherfan2012 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not just for us but for most of the country it has been one of the most borning I have seen.I really think we are in some sort of transition mode and this may give us a fit forecasting wise over the next few years, the good news is as solar continues to weaken over the next few years the more colder more severe winters will start to be favered.I'm really interested how cycles 25 and 26 turn out being.in other words how low they end up being will have a big saying in how the winters in the 2020s and beowed will behave.

Phil Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Could be a dynamic frontal passage for us on Saturday.

weatherfan2012 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Most of the cold for the first week or so of December looks to stay west of the mountains mid west and Ohio so it's going to be a slow transition hopefully mid December the colder values spread further east in time for the holidays to pervent last year's Christmas warm debacle to something that at least feels more like the season.I could see a case where we see a colder winter but the snow is more moderate and spread oUT more doing the season vers the one big hit wonder of last year.could be a winter that favors alot of miller's Bs which may mean new england Boston has a better chance of getting a bigger storm this winter then those further south.which is typical for weak nina negative neutral winters.the 95-96 is a outliner of sorts as that nina acted more like a west Basen nino in a snow stance.those that winter the huge strong negative nao completely controlled that winter.along with a active subtropical jet was the perfect storm of that snowy winter.
