it's probably my fault;  i was speaking about the earlier event for Tuesday and that this run is not very conducive to it - so I guess I disagree with you there.  

 

the latter event agrees with what i just said to Scott - our better wintery threat will occur when the PV relaxes; as is, there is too much gradient there.

 

I dunno, most guidance shows something for early/mid next week...I'm not expecting a major snowstorm out of it. But I think an overrunning event froma  wave along the front is not unreasonable. It could get crushed...certainly not ruling that out either...but it could also be juiced up a bit too and cause an icy scenario for the interior...the snow version is probably a happy medium between those two.

both were for snow - 

 

not sure which is worse, but that's a different debate.    

 

eh, it's one run.  i do, however, think that the better shot for a meaningful winter event will come when that giant red spot of earth sized PV and its -7SD core anomaly or whatever insanity it is on this Euro run, relaxes...

definitely a miller b threat there at day 10.

 

I'd like to see the ensembles shift towards a bigger -AO/-NAO combo like that run has...big anomalies over the arctic and the Davis Strait.

 

Yeah that is a somewhat classic looking Miller B KU setup for a lot of our events that occurred in Jan/Feb...northern stream dominant with big +PNA and a nice little block there in Davis Straight. I'm hoping we can get something out of that pattern...I think we'll have the +PNA but the NAO block as you said has not been consistent on modeling. Fantasy-land anyway, but a nice synoptic map to look at there at D10.

they did on the 00z run  - but the 12z GGEM has almost nothing there.   

 

like i said, it's one cycle.   

 

Folks, when I said the its a sh*t pattern, you have to read what I wrote around and stop f reacting - jesus.

Well I'm not saying it screams epic stretch or anything, but I think if offers the chance for something early next week, and then perhaps near day 8 or day 10. I'm glad the PV may not park itself over us because it allows for the potential for s/w's to at least try and amp up a bit near the East coast. It may very well end up not being snowy per se...but I think it offers some potential. I guess I'm just looking at it from a perspective of just hoping we get a little snow out of this.

Your interp of the Euro today was like your monitor was upside down and you were drunk with your mom yelling at you to come up from the basement to eat your grilled cheese

 

dude, you make it painfully obvious you don't understand basic meteorological concepts. 

 

you can't have 470dm heights over James Bay, with 588 heights over Miami, and generate a KU storm on the EC - that's the point.  

 

what's really at stake here is that you and your ilk of users on the board are losing patients and are so nerved up that you react before thinking.

lol's  this is probably the best board i have ever belong to w/ all the personalities , hopefully we can get a good crowd together for saturday at funky's.

You can see Blizz with a brew in his hand talking to will about the mon nite "winter storm" and when the fropa goes thru on "sunday" and then you can see garth and ginxy shooting the shiat and scooter w/ five caution flags flyin from his fanny,  sayin how " we will have our chances in the next two weeks" . I can't wait to saturday.

well - too my point if anyone is capable of being objective ... the better chance comes with the flow relaxes.   The extended Euro puts and exclamation point on the idea.

 

i'm on the fence with Tuesday.   it's a situation where you have a sfc polar boundary pushed/wedged quite a bit under the core westerlies in the mid levels... you could easily envision there being some steady weak to moderate omega where that construct forces some elevated frontal upglide - "ana".

You get more excited over awful 18z Nam runs that delay warm frontal passages than you do about epic 10 day Euro runs. An odd bird for sure.

I just looked at the Euro now and what I saw was a great chance at a snow event for a chunk of the region on Tuesday, and then bitter cold at the end of the run with another threat at D10.

 

What in the hell is the page and a half of b**ching all about?

 

Yeah seriously. that southern shortwave days 5-7 unfortunately would have no chance because of the buzzsaw to the north, but before then looked good for you guys with the tue am event...the cold was a ltitle more relaxed this run, but thats to be expected run to run...and the day 10 image is complete weather porn, with a storm threat and the entire pv lobe diving south into the upper midwest...if only we had an 11-15 day euro op to entertain us.

Yeah and I agree as well. Lift the PV out and any possible ridging out west will allow s/w's to amplify across the Plains.

Scott does - at least when I worked at WSI it went out to 380 I think.

right.  

 

in fact, the D10 Euro ...it certain looks real good via rip-and-read, but also appears to be too much of a good thing in that SPV being so magnanimously anomalous and threatening to come down.

 

that is a classic subsume scenario though.  The Ceveland Super Bomb of Jan 25+ 1978, and the Feb 5 events two weeks later were both subsumers  

 

it's when an SPV fragment dangles precipitously N of the Can/U.S. border, a Pac S/W ejects underneath, and down she comes!   if the frequencies align, memorable phasing results, to put it lightly. 

 

not so sure though when the SPV that tries to come down is roughly half the polar mass of the cosmos though :arrowhead:
