One of the meteorologists I trust the most mentioned tonight a possible snow event early next week setting up for cold cold air and a possible Thanksgiving winter storm. I wanted to hear what some of the people on here thought about this. Thanks!

I agree. It looks like we won't be traveling so I would like a little of the white stuff please.

Well it does look like the pattern may be setting up for that................Models are showing this as well..................So i for one think its a good possibility but still wanna give it another day or so before i really jump on this bandwagon!!!!!! Either way it does look very possible!

As a side note Jacki... I was in Warrensburg over the weekend and saw Gary Lezak's winter forecast and he is predicting a very wet winter for northern Missouri into all of Iowa and northern Illinois.

Our local met tonight also predicted 24" of snow for us this winter, which is 12" above normal. Of course this pales in comparison to last year's grand total of 52.5" of snow here. :o

Yeah, you snow hog!! You were about as much over as I have been under normal the past two years!! It's about time we see a normal/ hopefully above normal year!!

With the GFS showing that STRONG upper low moving accros the US and the 540 Thickness line dropping to the South of ME around the 23 of NOV I agree if the model comes true and there is infact that much cold air associated with the Low TurkeyDay will be a cold and snowy one for parts of the US

The EURO is quite interesting indicating quite a PLAINS storm in the MR ... on Day 6/7 with a large pool of cold air with the STRONG low ...

ECMWF DAY 7 MSLP

ECMWF DAY 7 500mb GEO Heights

ECMWF DAY 7 850mb Temperatures (C)

ECMWF Day 7 RH's

Jacki, you paying attention? If the EC verifies, snows in your future in IA! ...

SF

PS: EURO MSLP/850mb Temperatures

Looks like there could be one heck of a storm during the week of Thanksgiving. I would say both Jacki and Garrett should be on the lookout for snow. 8-)

Well, I am more than ready, so let's hope it pulls through, and I don't get jipped yet again!! (Like last night :grrr:

Interesting 7-10 day mean. That closed h5 should be at least initiating some change. Check out the heights building in N Quebec. IMO although there are some dominating features, this current pattern is progressive enough so that it wont take much before we see some changes towards winter-like weather in the East. As mentioned elsewhere, it shouldn't be one big flip flop to a constant Eastern trough/arctic barrage, but a more gradual shift.

JCT777 · #14 Postby **JCT777** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 3:50 pm

Agreed, squall. But us snow geese in the east can't wait to start honking about a big snowstorm.
