You have to enjoy the simple things in Life and being a wx enthusiast I love the different aspects of the weather that both states provide. I'm a secret mountain man, deep down inside, I feel like I'll retire somewhere up in the mountains, grow my own food and raise some livestock and live off the land that Mother Earth has always provided. Greece is def on my bucket list and I'm planning on a Euro Trip sometime next Summer. Would be awesome to meet up on the islands somewhere! Absolutely. Hit a couple of beach bars and talk about weather for a bit. Sounds like a plan to me. 3 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

chescowxman Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Well this has certainly changed a bit over the last couple weeks.... 1 1 Quote All historical weather data analytics posted by me is specifically for the climate of Chester County PA. We continually analyze the actual raw non-adjusted NWS certified Coop observed climate data for Chester County. There have been no post observation adjustments to any of the detailed analytics. All data is sourced from trained NWS observers and spotters. The life blood of science is to challenge what is thought to be known. The concept that climate change etc. is somehow “settled science” describes a religion - a belief system that does not welcome challenges. We should all continue to challenge science!

Coupled that with the blocking of the NAO and negative AO slows storms down with the arctic air? I understand the NAO and AO but get confused with the PNA.

We have actually been very fortunate the past 10 years. I have seen 3 in that time span with one storm having thunder snow. We only average 30" for an entire season and most of the time they are nickel and dime type storms. The winter of 2009-10, which I believe was my first year on this website, was bar none the best I have ever experienced. The teleconnections was pretty much spot on with what's going on now; the only difference is that was an El Nino winter. My area received our seasonal total in the month of December alone! We had a 20"+ snow depth after the x-mas blizzard until Feb. that year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 20"+ snow depth after the x-mas blizzard until Feb. that year. December of 2009 was truly a "December to Remember" for almost everyone in the state of Nebraska. Omaha "officially" picked up 25" of snow that month, even though I am guessing areas out west were closer to 30". This mostly fell through two separate storm systems/ blizzards, one during the first part of the month that dropped 10" to 14" of snow across the metro, then the very memorable second Christmas storm that dropped another 12" to 15" of snow over 3 days (starting on Christmas Eve). If I remember right, we had three Blizzard Warnings issued within a month's time - counting a snowy/ windy storm in early January. It seems like it's been feast or famine the last 10-15 years around here... either we get smoked with lots of snow or we have a winter full of cold, dry, and windy days - with huge swings in temperatures (much like this year so far), with a few warm and wet winters mixed in. Guess that's part of living in the Great Plains. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tracking a couple storms through the 2nd week of DEC alone coming out of the SW/TX PanHandle region....Storm target dates 12/10-12/12 and 12/15-12/17. I expect a bit of lull following those storms but then things ramp up big time with a potential Christmas Eve (give or take a day) blockbuster. I got my eyes on our southern friends with this storm potential that should cut somewhere up the OHV/App's given the relaxation of the PNA. Sustained cold with plenty of high lat blocking should keep things winter-like for pretty much all of us on here. I'm also seeing Hudson Bay HP's seeding cold over the GL's region during the Festive Christmas Holiday Week to close out DEC. Could it be one that many will Remember??? Happy Meteorological Winter everyone! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tStacsh Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Yawner of an open to December. Maybe the second week, but no big storms likely. So colder, slightly BN, but no real snow. Normalcy, unless you go back the last few years, and this will look like a real start to winter. Just not a great one. Good luck to everyone else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 13 hours ago, Clinton said: He did a special where Gary and his weather team made a season total snowfall prediction. Gary predicted 17 inches of snow for the season which is a tad below average for KC. He did say we will have snow before Christmas. It's so crazy, he used to do a big winter special and post it on the blog. I'm wondering if he will do that maybe later in December? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
