First half of February...another pattern shift?

If retrogression continues ...I'd imagine we have at least one more shot for a Nor'easter later during next week or the following weekend.

I thought maybe the Euro past 180 hours (as viewed on wunderground) might be trying to conjure something up.

I think that time around the 10th to 12th still looks good for some sort of potential low.

I'm driving down to Florida on the 13th or 14th....so we gotta get that in here before I leave. :)

Then I'll be on my way back a week later and I wouldn't mind hitting a Nor'easter somewhere from VA north.

Hey still an atrocious 50F now.. Even PSF is 51 so it must be a day of snowpack diminution at Petes.

EC ens develop a trough into the western US/Can by d13 and we get blowtorched in eastern NAMER.

We're blowtorched now. A beautiful day. I'm going to enjoy it and forget about winter...not here. BOS still 1.2 shy of futility record which will not happen. A shame actually because this year is so bad we might as well go to the record books. Every 10 years.

They continue with that theme.

They did try and raise heights across AK towards the end of the run, but the country is tainted beforehand. The differences with that model and everything else are LOL, but I think it may have the right idea.

Well it's 35F here right now with still 4-5" OTG. It was definitely warm, but nothing insane up here in CAD land.

The best part about this is the GFS has actually preformed better than the rest in the first 4 days, LOL

QVectorman thanks for providing that!

I've been onto the Euro as suspect a few times over the last 45 days (actually), but hadn't bothered to look it up. I have written a couple diatribing opines, odes to the Euro throwing us phantoms over that time. Not surprising to see it graphically - no.

One must wonder why that is.. As of last, I thought the Euro still had superior ingest. Interesting. Perhaps there is something native to the pattern types so far that is more suited to GFS bias envelope - making it stick out as the superior performer. Who knows.

Probably something about the Pacific pattern is counterracting the GFS cold bias this winter. The Euro generally is bad during La Ninas because its bias of holding back energy becomes severely exposed due to the normall progressive nature to the pattern and lack of blocking during most La Ninas.

Nice! Let's do it. Glad you have some snow. I'm looking forward to checking out the flowers that came up today. Feb 97 was a blowtorch but we salvaged winter. I'm not expecting anything similar this year.

Oh that's sooo funny you just said that. I wasn't connecting that to the Nina canvas, but I was thinking about that tendency in the Euor to curl back SW with diving energy - fascinating.

We joked in the NYC thread last winter that the NOGAPS was probably unstoppable in 97-98 because its progressive bias would have been counterracted by the raging El nino. Then Tony G from NWS Mt Holly came in and said that by far the NOGAPS was one of the best models during the 97-98 winter. It also did okay in 09-10 as well on some events. The GEM also was consistently deviating in 2010-2011 from its typical west/warm bias, again the La Nina may have been negating its normal tendencies. So it may not be totally crazy to greater buy into normally progressive models during El Ninos and amped models during La Ninas.

It was either you or someone else that mentioned the same a few days ago... about the ingest schemes failing to be superior with this type of pattern

And this started about 3-4 days ago too. When I saw that ridge collapse, I thought "oh oh."

god I so hope they are wrong, if they are right its game over for real.Epic fail from last week when we thought a good 7-18 day run was going to take place, what is worse is even when the pattern is nice its so dry those with snow left have massive sublimation.
