Tom Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'm back in biz...bought a last minute plane ticket last night and took off to AZ for Thanksgiving earlier today . Got out of the airport and it was 70F and sunny! Man, what a different climate out here and a shock to my system. I'll try to take come pics out here. This storm coming around on the 3rd/4th is going to come through AZ and at this time of year, the mountains where I currently am get snow capped and looks real nice. Hoping it is a cold enough system. Besides all that, this storm is looking like it could produce some significant snows nearby. Hope a lot of us on this forum can get some real snows!

Geos Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yeah it does look like a very quite week ahead. Rather would have the back half of December wintry. Rather get the milder and benign weather over with sooner rather than later. Doesn't seem like Christmas or New Years without some snowstorms to track.

Tom Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I havea feeling this winter won't be anything like last year. You normally don't see back to back bad wintersSure you do, in the late 70's there were 2 or 3 really severe winters. 1916/17 -1917/18 were also severe winters from the Rockies eastward. Back to back winters as bad as last year are not at all that common, but they can happen and I'm sure this winter will deliver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim the weatherman Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 To summarize:- A stratospheric intrusion may result in a cold air outbreak in the middle of December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBadgersW Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Weren't models showing a major warm up for the first week of December earlier? The only above average day is tomorrow and that's only by +4℉. The rest of next week looks to be at to slightly below average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Sure over 30 years ago but what since?To my knowledge, there hasn't been back to back severe winters since the late 70's that hit a lot of this nation. There were single seasons of intense winter conditions (Ex: 1993-94) The frigid winters of the late 70's were very memorable and the same type of SST's and atmospheric conditions we are experiencing now, should have the same result. The winter of 1976-77 had a very cold start in November and let off the gas peddle during the first 2 weeks of December. This year, even though we are experiencing a period of less intense cold, it is still not a normal season thus far. With the current SSW event taking place and the LRC repeating into cycle 2, the pattern is reloading and looking to lock in for the Winter. I think this winter we will see periods of less intense cold unlike last year where it just kept coming. This year's LRC pattern is much different than last years consistent NW Flow. However, if the blocking stays persistent, then it may end up being another relentless punishment of arctic air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FV-Mike Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Sure over 30 years ago but what since?From a Chicago snowfall perspective all you have to do is go back to 2007-2010. 4 years in a row of above 50 inches. Way above our season average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we are going to warm up to average...but no torch for this area 34 for this area is spot on. I agree, I think people are looking restlessly at the models because it looks to be around average but dry and boring (most of the precip in the warm sector). It's all relative as well, it looks like a torch compared to this cold November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
