Would be hilarious if we go from RNA keeping the cold west to totally losing the Arctic and getting flooded by an AK vortex.
Not calling it just imagining.
It will snow this winter again. I liken not getting at least one moderate snowfall in a winter season to not experiencing a single thunderstorm in spring/summer. Almost impossible.
I think he is getting weenies for ALWAYS pointing out warmer/less snow scenarios, not cause a specific statement is false.
If he mixed in a few cold/snow statements once in a while he would be followed.
That's a better look for us than what we have now. The negative NAO RNA combo has been shredding everything.
Like I have been saying bigger cutter risk but higher chance of snow from follow up waves since the cutters can now pull cooler air east.
At some point we have to score a storm. This year feels far less hostile than 97/98 or 01/02. However like u said it's the storm track rather than temp.
I would take that over the meat grinder look we have now. Get the cutter to bring in cold and trailing weak wave to produce. NOT a great look but better than now.
That's funny. Both would work for us for different reasons.
TBH I would take the EPS as the negative AO is shredding Everything. Sure we would be at a cutter risk but would setup trailing wave potential.
GEFS could still work but more light event potential.
At some point we WILL snow.
I do not have the EC ensembles past 240, however looks like a gradient patters sets up day 10 on GEFS with our area north of the gradient. The SE ridge would work in our favor battling suppression from the non stop Negative AO.
Working in our favor. Phase 7 works well of us in January while IF it touches 8 we may be able to save February.
That is best case scenario not a forecast.
Would be funny if we get close to shut out then have a 2018 type March/April and reach seasonal average.
12z runs discouraging BUT ensembles look on track.
I remember being at 58 inches with 3 snowfall events in March lined up on the models. All three sunk south.
Only needed 10 to be second place of 67 from 02/03.
No way was going to take first place which was 92 inches in 95/96.
Thanks was looking at the ensembles and was pleased to see this setup. Deeper cold snaps will traverse the country with the SE ridge Popping in between. This volatility can lead to better overrunning setups.
