cold is always 10-15 days away from whatever date is the current date....been seeing that since Mid Nov...time to stick a fork in this one folks.

Just because 1 run is showing a horrible solution? :weenie:

That was one of the worst GFS runs in a while. Hopefully a blip. No reason to give up.

No one is giving up :hug:

The models usually have problems with pattern changes.

Models are generally terrible regardless post day 7, but they're even more volatile and bipolar when we've got major regime changes occurring. Each run will probably produce a completely different solution until the height reversal over AK and the arctic becomes more of a lock.

No one should really take any model too seriously after Day 5 or even Day 3 this season, note the dramatic changes from run to run after 120 hours, it definitely indicates a lot of volatility at work here. Eventually the rubber band will snap, whether it takes days, weeks, or months, it does eventually snap and it's usually done in a dramatic way. This winter is quickly making a run with 2001-2002 as the worst winter for the country as of now. The good news is that even in that horrible winter and record warmth, we saw at least one snowfall amount that gave us a few inches so we should be able to get at least one accumulating snowfall event, I hope.

totally agree with the 01-02 statement..I mean the warmth across most of the USA since September has been similar..I guess mother nature is giving us a payback for the last 2 winters..guess you have to grin and take it..we were due a big clunker..can't control the weather

Another sign the pattern is changing is that the warministas have not spoken for awhile.

:bag:

Actually don't mind a little bit of snow, except when I have to shovel my roof, hire a front end loader so I can get cars out of the garage and shovel a path across the lawn to get oil delivered.

Hate the bitter, wind driven cold. Don't understand what is so great about numb skin and huge heating oil bills.

But I understand this is a pro snow and cold board, so I respect the establishment.

I was getting a bit nervous about some of the indicators of late but Wes's CWG post today brought me in from the ledge.

Very disgusting out there right now. Even embarrasing if you expect a tourist from the Deep South to expect and enjoy typical wintry weather up here at this time. I cringe when I do not observe New Yorkers getting crippled by cold air. I want them to not have the will to go outside; be overly dressed; and to have the heat on 24/7 during sub-10*F arctic air. That is my inner weenie's dream for any winter.
