Hr 120 pac ridge is a little closer to west coast and ns energy coming into Dakotas as oppossed to Montana state line. See where she goes.gut says if we get it to dig n phase it will miss se coast by a hair like fv3 just did.

12z Euro Op: hr 96 Ridge is building nice on west coast. See if it can send our energy diving. Also Gefs looks awesome with lp signal clustering se coast next monday. Lets hope eps does same this afternoon.

I read webber say where this mjo through warm phase want have really any effect on our pattern, unlike the last fiasco we just went through and it camped out for 2 weeks. Says they all are different in their effect. Somtimes mjo drives pattern and sometimes its just one of multiple factors that gets skewed, weighted out when amongst all the other teleconnections.

12z Fv3 continues good look.A little later phase than 0z. Snows light ENC,then scrapes NE coast and does big cities right. Actually looks identical h5 from 12z epic run, just a hair and i mean a hair latter with phase. Shows the tight rope. But also fits alot of traditional tracks from years past that had good size NC snow storms.

This is gonna be a push all your chips in for us. Go big or go home. Mtns will win off ns by itself and coastal sections can salvage a late phase. In the middle its gotta bomb in the sweet spot or we want have a seat at the table. Im fine and ok with taking our chance like this. Nice when your playing with house money.

Also looks like Lookout eye for wed morning mischief, freezing drizzle, light zr has some legs on the models now. Good catch yesterday.

Im actually sold we are gonna get a sustained negative nao from last few days jan into atleast first half February. After years of whining for one to show up in prime climo, i cant beleive this is gonna most likely come to pass. What will we use for an excuse now lol.

Agree, we got a good shot if we can get cyclogensis going in the ne gom and get the trough to neg tilt. Gonna need it to bomb out down there in the sweet spot. If it doesnt phase or phases to late well miss out here in western piedmont. Be an interesting week tracking. Strong consensus for a phaser, with the exception of the old gfs op , screwing up the pac ridge from run to run and being all over the place. Gefs and eps need to continue to trend in our direction today.

All about the ridge out west if it can build tall enough to cause our shortwave to dig and bomb ne gom se coast. See if ukie has this at h5 today.

To tired to wait for gefs. Only out to 72 pivotal. Time to start counting up and keeping score on eps and gefs for next weekend.

Canadian has the moisture. We get ice on that run and west 77 hammered. No doubt mid to late next weekend is the opportunity to score.

Check out the block on goofy. Keeps on building and best of all stays cold. Put the seed and pre-emergent away

Oh yea big time. It was so flat looking i figured no way the ns would be able to scream straight down, looked like lower end of a bowling ball across conus. Oh well, glad i was wrong.

What a difference hr138 to 154 with pac ridge. I gave up on it to early.

Cant beleive we get this result. It looks like garbage h5 before hand on gfs.

So far 0z for the ops. Icon and Canadian look very interesting for next weekend, showing potential. Gfs will wet the bed because how sets up or really doesnt pac ridge. Prevents energy from diving down . Needs to sharpen the pac ridge up . Always the outlier. See if fv3, ukie and most important eps and euro keep the theme up. Cold is coming. All. About timing the vorts now.

Look at fv3 500vort map above. Neutral, if i could go negative, hello.Sorry its a pain on the phone. Been watching Duke game and just now going back browsing 18z and most importantly eps12z. Eps looks awesome. Watching day 10 now cause we know whats coming day 1-9. So everyday its to see if we continue the stellar h5 look . Can tell you pac ridge is a beaut on the eps. Perfectly located and the blocking coming over top from the atlantic looks good as well. We screw this pattern up and dont cash in, we need to find a new hobby till next winter.

That FV3 dont send a tingle down your leg nothing will. We will have to work hard,very hard to screw up next weekend into early next week. But if theres a way ..... ah,think posotive. Gfs twins got their act bqck together h5 tonight.

If you craving snow and cant wait it out, plan a trip up to the high country next weekend. Want be disappointed in a 3-6 inch powder event. Take kids tubbing or skiing. And if you need a chaperone, Mack is available.

If your a snowgoose like the rest of us on here and unless you have gravel in your gut. Id avoid looking at the gfs twins over the next several days, 4 times per day. Youll get played like a yo yo. And it dont matter if its a holy grail pattern or crap pattern that plays out, verefies. You still and always have to have luck on your side down here. Id rather be lucky in the winter than have my pick of patterns. Luck you score good pattern doesnt gurantee that.

Day 10. And the big spoke is blocked still. Good shape and should have open window following week, even if we do miss out next weekend peidmont foothills. ECNorth Amer Sing

Euro north next weekend, miller bs off southern MA coast, looking at 24 hr panels. Probably ice in cad, insitu damming that look. Classic carolina split. Looks real good for mtns and coastal plain can score. But piedmont, foothills downslope,transfer energy, all the caveats.

If it just had something to dive into/hit along gom, wed be in big time business. Old front, any stj energy etc

Oh the ratios. With minus 20 to minus 30 850s. What i want to see the most. A pure snow storm with atleast 20 to 1 ratios. Just once pure fluff. Been so long and rare.
