The PV will save us. :cry:

there's been a fair amount of movement at the long range other than the idea most of the country remains warm. the -nao signal is much depleted if not totally gone this run as well.

The 18Z gefs ensemble mean has a terrible pattern through the run. All the cold is on the western side. If it's right January is toast except for occasional transient cold shots. The CFS2 model also really has fe warm and it look to have a positive nao. t will be interesting to hear what the euro weeklies have and whether they show the same look. I'm not ready to write off February but I don't see any favorable pattern change on the horizen before the end of the month. That doesn't mean one can't happen as I'm not taht good but that the present and modeled patterns don't look good.

It sounds like he doesn't like most mets or JB. Sounds like they are on the same page as the gefs which also looks really warm across the country beyond day 10.

he posts here as gibbsfreeenergy.. the energy mets are all punks.

According to Coastal the only half decent good piece of news is week 4 is showing a -NAO and otherwise it is brutal.

You have called for the winter to suck since November and haven't been wrong yet so I'd say you are pretty good at this.

It's really easy to bash all mets when you don't have to make public forecasts and anything you do say about the weather can be hidden behind a thick layer of "proprietary information" labels. I've never seen that guy do anything but barf back model output.

if you have some free time you should go to PR and read the last two pages or so of the NH primary thread.
