Very well done new blog.
It amazes me how some people get so excited about shopping for deals on Black Friday. One thing I have always said and hope to always abide...I will never shop on Black Friday. Back in 2001 when I lived near Chester, NY...they have a outlets in Harriman, just off the NY thruway. It was so bad there people were parking on grass medians. An ambulance couldn't get into the parking lot to get to a man that was having a heartattack. It's just ridiculous how shoppers can be when it comes to shopping for Christmas.
I guess some years you win some and some years you lose some, pertaining to winter weather. In the 80's we didn't have too many cold and snowy Christmas seasons. Most were wet and temperate. It seemed like New Years Eve it would rain. Just part of living in the Mid-Atlantic. You grow up hoping and wishing, but it doesn't usually happen, especially in the 80's.
We really haven't seen any strong cold fronts move through with strong winds and dropping temperatures and a chance for flurries. By now we might have seen a couple of those.
TheRasberryPatch- Thanks! A more typical pattern with strong cold fronts is likely the next week or two. I am still watching for the chance of snow around December 5. A front may be coming through around that period, and if we get a shortwave to ride up along the front just after it passes, then there will be the potential for snow. Otherwise after that front it does look like widespread lake effect snow, so flurries will be possible down towards Harrisburg too most likely.
Mason803- Eh, not too pleased with their evaluation on snow totals. It is certainly inaccurate up here as accumulating snow only touched the New York counties that border with Pennsylvania, nothing anywhere north of there. Also seems a bit too far south with snow accumulations in Maryland and Virginia.
so December 5th is still on? I will have to make sure I get up my Christmas lights before the 5th. I usually wait until the weekend after the 5th. Good to hear there will be cold fronts moving through. Nice to have that crisp weather and I am so TIRED of rain
12z GFS for next week shows snow for western areas as a wave moves along the powerful cold front. Not too big of a deal as it is rain changing to snow for all areas, but it still needs to be watched for a more potent event.

Thanks! I think this December will be very similar to December 2007 as far as snow distribution. There will be many mixed precipitation events while parts of New England get snow. Better than this pattern we currently are in.
66 today
I'm canceling all talk of Nor'easters and snowfall for the foreseeable future,this is crazy.
Pin oaks don't drop their leaves in the winter. they drop their leaves in the spring.
You sound like PP...or maybe you are PP in disguise...hahahahaha
It seems odd there was not a special weather statement issued. I have heard several people mention the vicious squall that moved through Harrisburg.
This is *November* 29th, right?
Off to read the blog then off to work.
Thanks so much, Blizz!
Late addition:
I very much appreciated this sentence of yours, Blizz:
Instead of trying to rush December, take a moment to enjoy the heightened spirit.
Yes, that definitely helps. In fact, some traditions hold that the Christmas season begins Christmas Eve (the 12 days of Christmas), and that this time beforehand is Advent. I like how that concept slows me down.
Raspberry,I've fallen into his way of thinking,not sure if thats a good or bad thing/
listenerVT- Thanks! 65F here too, hard to believe! Colder weather is coming with some guidance indicating 20s for highs around Wednesday next week for New England!
Exactly!!!
on the weather front...I didn't have any severe weather hit my area. some winds early, but only a gust of 22 mph. so far I have received 0.55" of rain
HRRR total accumulated snow
gusty here 2 with a recorded 41mph out of the due east (090)
So are you all bored with the weather? I have not been paying attention, though someone at work told me there were surprise snows and foul weather in parts of the country. Of course, anyone who visits here regularly would not encounter a weather surprise.
Hey Patch: I am so excited. We are going to have a garden this year. Hubby has been very busy clearing land and taking down pieces of trees that were affected by Irene, as well as age and disease, I suppose. He had thought of doing something with the limbs, I don't know if he called it compost or something else, but we ended up paying someone just a little bit to take it away. There's always more yard debris. I will be asking you more questions -- after we finish with the thrills of the holidays -- and I am counting on you sharing your good advice.
Here's to patience and finger crossing...
My totals now for rain for the day is 0.72". Haven't we have enough for the year?
Thanks for the Anchorage towercam note, as I look every time I come here.
We're expecting temps to be 50 overnight (!), then plummet tomorrow afternoon into the 30's, with a high on Thursday of about 38! We may have some flurries over the following several days, but no real accumulation. If we're going to have cold-enough weather, I'd rather the ground had a blanket of snow. My Irises and Sedum have sprouted as though it were Spring! Not good for the plants at all. At least it means we're consuming less heating fuel, and the plow guy isn't wreaking havoc with my bushes. But even so...!
That's alright, just as long as winter returns by the 20th to get us more in the mood for Christmas
We are having a huge outbreakd of winter moths up here,just as sunset occurs you can see dozens of these moths rise out of the ground and they cover the sides of the houses and cars.Really bad,and to make matters even worse they will be laying eggs and hatch tons of catapillars in the spring which really damage the trees around this area. Anyone else having this problem?
Tuesday: A chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy and breezy, with a high near 42. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Not laying any bets on this
Lit my dad would say the same thing! Unfortunatly we have oil so when we say its cold he just says get blanket!
Actually tired of the mild weather myself now. It was nice to play 9 holes with my dad this past weekend though for one last time this year.
The WU forecast is too warm for anything, here. Are you getting any lake effect today? Surprisingly, there hasn't been any lake effect off of Lower Lake Michigan and one time off of Lake Erie?
The precipitation today across New York and Pennsylvania is associated with a weak shortwave and not really lake effect. Been misting up here today, but that is it. If I were a betting man, I would say the storm system early next week is snow for areas across the far north in New England and perhaps maybe towards the Ohio Valley. Still bears watching here in the east I suppose.
That sounds like a usual track for this time of the year. When do you foresee the LE kicking in for this winter?
my Davis has registered 4.43" for the month of November. I would say that is probably close to normal for November.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA DIRECTLY DOWNSTREAM
FROM THE SPEEDWELL DAM IN LANCASTER COUNTY. THE SPILLWAY WAS
DAMAGED DURING HEAVY RAINS EARLIER THIS FALL WHICH HAVE CAUSED
WATER BEHIND THE DAM TO BUILD UP TO DANGEROUS LEVELS. LOCAL
EMERGENCY MANAGERS WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION.
They are local pest infestation,they were introduced from Europe into Nova Scotia and have spread into Maine and down the coast and the Eastern parts have been overrun with these moths which only come out around Thanksgiving and depending on how cold it gets they can stay around until Christmas.They come out at night and there are so many they are all over the sides of homes cars ,everywhere and get into homes.They lay eggs before winter sets in and in the spring catapillars hatch and are really damaging the trees up here.And they are spreading,down to areas in conn. RI and some areas of LI so you guys will see them in a few years.
November only averages around 3in for rain in November. It was another well above normal month to continue out string. Next week should have some widespread lake effect possibly, but with all this warmth, it won't last too long.
