SpartyOn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I found this remarkable.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Gradient pattern on the 0z GFS, which is consonant with a -PNA/neutral AO teleconnectors. Where it sets up is anybody's guess. I think what I have more confidence in is that it'll get wetter once we lose this split-flow we've been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 00z GFS is not good... still shows the "cold" shots...but it turns very mild again in the extended range..i noticed the 18z showed somewhat the same thing with crazy warm 850 temps... Not sure boys...looks like Jan finishes very +++...in regards to temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 NWS La Crosse says mild again: Quote THE TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL BE INTI ALLY BELOW NORMAL AND THEN WARM UP CLOSER TO NORMAL AS THE AIR MASS GRADUALLY MODERATES. UNLIKE THE NEW YEARS FRONT...THIS COLD AIR MAY PERSIST FOR SEVERAL INTO MID JANUARY. AS THE TROPICAL FORCING MOVES INTO THE INDIAN OCEAN FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT...EXPECT TO ONCE AGAIN SEE THE POLAR JET RETREAT BACK INTO SOUTHERN CANADA BRINGING A RETURN TO THE UNSEASONABLE FOR THE LATTER PART OF JANUARY.

What an odd Winter so far. Yours is prettier. Here's the one I found the day after Christmas. On 1/6/2012 at 3:20 PM, Alek said: Going straight from warm and wet to bitter cold and dry would be a bummer to say the least. Yeah, I mentioned that in the storm thread yesterday morning. It's still looking like we go from torch to winter with no storm to show for it in these parts. Very disappointing in an already disappointing winter. On 1/6/2012 at 2:06 PM, Chicago WX said: lol, I found it in one of the old storm threads from last winter...I believe Jim/Kokomo WX posted it. I figured it would be a good rallying avatar for winter. lol Good try. I think Jim posted a picture of himself meeting her last year. He probably has it blown up and hanging in his man cave.

SpartyOn Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Need the ground to freeze good and deep here. It helps electrical conduits bend and break in the ground thus causing shorts and wiping outside lights and garages. Serious cash to be made for emergency service! Love it.

Madmaxweather Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 We had 60 yesterday here.. Looks like upper 40's today. We will see what the future holds but its not a slim majority suffering from lack of cold and snow this year. Its 80% of the nation++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how many storm systems came through during that 28 day timespan. Now I would not be shocked if something similar takes place once the Pac Jet gets going.

This should be in the pattern thread...but what are your thought on why Feb will torch? We get some decent / good blocking this chill could stick around for a long time. Blocks are key.

I think the better western setup will help in the coming weeks, but it will breakdown by early-mid- February causing the temps to become warmer on average. But the breakdown?
