Scenes from southern England today (they have gotten accumulation before Leeds.. wtf!? )
Actually looks decently snowy, though it's probably not even an inch. I haven't seen since late October. We will this winter as it gets colder. Snow becomes more likely in January as the Atlantic cools.
The models only show some colder air in the eastern US followed by a warming trend w/rain- then another dry cold front. This "split flow" pattern where the northern and subtropical branches of the jet stream are completely separate leads to a lack of "phasing." Therefore, you just haven't seen much of any cold air or big storms in most areas. Also, no one can tell me the reason why all the extremely frigid air in Alaska in November disappeared to. Usually when interior Alaska has temperatures of -40F a piece of cold air moves down into the US a few weeks later. That did not happen at all and I think the split flow pattern explains one of the reasons why.
You can forget Bing Crosby's "Dreaming of a white Christmas", I'm dreaming of a mild Christmas, 12 degrees and humid with not a trace of snow. Look like that is going to happen, too.
Most of Canada is covered with snow, except the tiny area along lake Ontario (from Toronto to perhaps Kingston on the East), and along lake Erie (Southwest Ontario including Windsor).
The traditional heavy snow fall area (London Ontario) South of lake Huron and Georgian Bay is already heavily covered with snow including the stretch of hwy 401 from London Ontario to Kitchener/Waterloo area.
A chilly 19 F and it's not even 10PM. Tonight is expected to drop down to 14 F. Sleet, rain, and snow possible this week. Unfortunately temperatures will bounce back to the mid to upper 40s. Normally I don't mind 40s, but the local ski resort hasn't opened yet since it's been too mild.
Jeez the "snowbelt" of upstate NY near Lake Ontario to Buffalo is nearly snow free. This should be the time of year lake effect snow is the biggest.
