Good evening bloggers,
We will be tracking Santa Clause tonight! Can you believe it is already Christmas Eve. I just finished my Christmas shopping, have the weathercast ready to describe this unusual pattern, and hopefully I can catch up on my sleep after staying up for last nights small snowfall.
This weather pattern is cycling according to this years LRC. Please be patient with questions as I am doing a lot of analysis right now. The cycle length is somewhere around 50 to 53 days. This has been an exciting ride of ups and downs, but our local area has yet to be hit by a storm system like those hitting other parts of the nation. We are just not quite in the right spot. This doesn't mean everything won't come together once or twice this winter.
The next storm, due in Saturday, is so close to being a major snow producer for us and yet it may leave us frustrated again. Just a small change to more of an upper low and we will get blasted. If you look back to the first 10 to 12 days of November you can find this storm and sequence the last time through the cycle. It is amazingly similar, but there is more energy in the flow now. I will try to show some comparisons on Friday.
Have a great Christmas Eve!
Gary
