Sub freezing 925mb temps with precip and Easterly winds is almost always snow here. But.... it’s October so I’m not sure.

Sun angle is low enough now that that's no issue. October just doesn't feature snow much because these sorts of incursions are so rare.

Good to see they can still happen in our new warm climate.

From Phil on the American forums:

I know everyone here is focused on the near term cold, but I’m just as intrigued by the potent MJO/GWO projected by the EPS suite.

Could be some big league storminess and/or zonal flow during the first 2-3 weeks of November w/ subsidence transiting the MC along w/ the rise in AAM (tendency & integral). Andrew should be happy.

I’m not well versed in windstorm climatology out there, but this seems like a pattern that might favor something like that.

Why?

Why?

Have you seen all the crap he posts that never happen ? Then he gets mad at other people for not understanding him when he doesn't even try to explain in terms most people can understand. He's a good seller on faint hope that's really about it. He's smart yes but not in ways that actually matters to a forecast.

I agree that he often speaks in technical language that very few understand and does not clearly explain it. I don't follow his predictions enough to know his track record, but I do find his unwillingness to speak in a language we all understand to be rather frustrating.

He's definitely smart but it comes across as if he just wants to show off how smart he is rather than help others learn.

Wasn't this the same area that got hit a couple months ago ?
