Its too cold outside
I use to love this but I'm starting to hate it except when it snows.
What?
Did snowman hack your account?
But I hear you. I enjoy winter. But I also enjoy summer. Spring is really the only season I dislike here.

Yeah, agreed. Was thinking the +AO was playing some role with that. And there you have it. Makes sense conceptually, to me.

Wound up with right around 3" here. So that's ~30" for the season. Which is right around average seasonal snowfall.

60F over here and sunny. Feeling good

47F here already. Looking forward to another great day.

This MJO wave may be important as to what type of weather patterns we get next winter. El Niño events usually need the MJO to make a strong push into phase 7 in March. That phase in the WPAC usually brings a WWB pattern which warms the Pacific. Both the EPS and GEFS have the MJO going into phases 4-5 for the rest of February and early March. If the MJO stalls out again near phase 6 in early March, then any return to cooler in March will get pushed back. The MJO not making a strong enough push into 7 could also mean the ENSO gets struck in neutral with a La Niña background state possibly remaining entrenched again for next winter.
Agreed totally. That's the most interesting facet to watch for with this particular MJO passage. With the potential WWB possibly initiating another downwelling Kelvin wave as well. Curious to see how this plays out. I'll certainly be watching this one with interest. WPAC SSTs are toasty.

Why the snarky response?
You’re talking about a phase with hopes of cold and snow.
Mid March, climate-wise, we are just about done.
I think that is a very relative point.
Sorry to rain on the mid march snow parade
I didn't say one word about snow or cold. You're making a lot of assumptions here about that post. And I realized that immediately, hence the snarky response. We're talking about the MJO. That doesn't automatically mean we're looking for snow or cold. I've been very objective on analysis of the MJO all season long. So I don't appreciate being lumped into some "snow parade". Sorry to rain on your strawman argument.

Mid March? What is the point though
The point of what? Not sure what your point is.

While the EPS weeklies update will be out later, the GEFS is taking the MJO warm tour into March. Strong MJO 4-6 right into early March with a warm SE Ridge pattern and +AO. But signs of MJO 7 by mid-March allowing more blocking. This is when the GEFS tries to weaken the very intense SPV.
Feb 23 to Feb 28Mar 16 weaker SPV and MJO 7
Yeah, been looking things over for a couple days. Was going to post about it today. But I think you nailed it here. Agree. Noticing the possible propagation towards phase 7 in March as well. Hints of it for sure on the ensembles. I've been wondering a bit if the time in phase 3 helped this PV to finally couple. Being as those events are favorable for +AO. After much of winter not doing so. Just a little speculation. I'm sure there are other factors in play.

Eps totally caving to the GEFS this afternoon…not shocked
Definitely did in the tropics this run. Much more of the gefs type looks there among the individual members then there have been at 12z. I think it makes sense too, with what the gefs is doing. According to the sst layout currently anyway.

It does imo because the euro charts are lingering in 2/3 longer now. Which is a nod to the American guidance. Even the olr maps are slower with the progression then the euro
Yeah I see what you mean. I actually think the gefs has done fairly well this year in the tropics. Euro guidance can get overamped sometimes late. I've seen it happen a couple times this season.

Those RMM charts don't tell the whole story. Careful with those.

Eps is still getting a little crazy with forcing near Indonesia late in the runs. Gefs isn't really doing that. Not nearly as dramatic at least. Holds on to the split forcing look longer. Lots of spread amongst the eps members with this. With some really going overboard still in that area. But also some others more gefs like. It'll be interesting to see what happens there. I'm pretty confident the weeklies will be a torch today. Being based on the 00z eps. Still low confidence for end of the month for me.

It's nice to see the gfs and euro showing something for that timeframe. At least both can "see" a possibility. CMC tried to do something but made a mess of it. Promising.

Euro looks interesting for vday
I like that period for some sort of storm. Mentioned it the other day. Pv lobe pulled away, PNA spike. Keep an eye on that.

The EPS has more of a -PNA look near the end of the 0z run. But the GEPS and GEFS not as much. The big story this winter was the historic PNA rise from December to January. It was the greatest on record from December to January. So even if the +PNA weakens or reverses in late February, the February PNA reading won’t be anything like December was. So in two consecutive La Niña winters, this December will be the only severe -PNA out of 6 winter months. The December PNA was a record breaking -2.56 and January jumped to +1.01.
EPS had a select few members getting a little crazy around Indonesia very late. Here's one example of that below. I suspect this is overdone, but will have to watch. More of some sort of split forcing looks on many others. This is when I'm uncomfortable, until gefs and eps are on the same page. Wondering if it has something to do with the tropical systems in the IO and how they're ultimately treated. Not sure. Tricky timeframe for now.

Yeah, looking similar.
