A touch of model uncertainty/noise. This tells me big model swings are possible and could be quite abrupt "out of nowhere" too.

I think the mountains up here had record snowfall that December.   I remember the ski conditions were insane.   

Jet shut down nicely in January.

The end of March all the stars will align for some sloppy wet snow that is gone by dinner time.

And then we'll get to hear Phil's acronym-laden essay about why "winter" ended up warm AGAIN this time around.

Do you think we are going to have a white any holiday this winter season? 

Yes. In Winthrop and Leavenworth.

Jon's sentence fragment buffet usually isn't too bad either.

I hope  everyone  gets snow this year.  A white Christmas may be doubtful, but let's hope everyone has an epic winter

 

[Meatyorologist]

In my honest opinion, I think we'll end up with some kind of teaser in the D11-20 timeframe, before something more significant in mid January or so. That's fine, especially considering that that's the coldest time of year statistically for inland BC up into the Yukon.

But as far as December goes, I'm more "hopeful" than optimistic.

[Omegaraptor]

Not the PNW, but a pretty big chinook wind event seems to be happening tomorrow. Could see 70°F in South Dakota.

48/32 here today. Partly to mostly cloudy skies with some interesting high cloud formations, and a light east wind.

Currently partly cloudy and 42.

I tend to think of it more as an acronym soup.

For the record, let it be noted that I predicted white winter holidays in Winthrop and Leavenworth. I was silent as to whether or not those holidays would be white elsewhere.

This looks pretty interesting.

That’s not a sentence fragment.

This is.

Its when you want the models to trend good.

But know spring is already here.

Time to work on that tan.

If I can’t make a snow monster.

Jim is gonna be sad.
