AvantHiatus Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 we'll still get a 1-4" storm on April 3rd Ian will be upset when a backdoor front kills the instability layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I knew it wasnt going when i saw 4 straight cutters on the Euro Control a few days ago to start of February. Yet the CFS keeps insisting on record cold February:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtropics Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Meteorological winter around here really is only 2 months. Feb is so often torchy, especially the back half. Sun angle is killer and skin care enthusiasts begin to pack on the sunscreen around this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 onto next winter with maybe an El Nino. We are going to do an entire winter without a -NAO. Pretty impressive that we finished the year with near normal snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 This was relaxation was expected. The flattening PNA ridge has been well advertised, we never have had any meaningful blocking and still no sign of it, and the AO is headed positive for early Feb. The pattern is setting up to be a milder one for a time, and we will see what happens after that. My guess is Feb overall ends up normal, and we get some shots with an active ss.

stormtracker Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'd say let's wait until the end of next week before we start with the despondency. Models have been changing the medium range with just about every run. I still have some faith in a rockin early Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models have been changing the medium range with just about every run. I still have some faith in a rockin early Feb. We really blow around in the wind a lot. Weren't we just talking about an epic Feb a day or two ago? I don't see any reason to abandon all hope…or really any hope of a solid respectable February.

pazzo83 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Day 10 progs not working out? Shocker.. Right? People looking at day 10 stuff as gospel, regardless of what it says or how much agreement there is, is kind of ridiculous. Until we get exascale computing, models past day 4-5 are always going to be subject to extreme variation and inaccuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Right? People looking at day 10 stuff as gospel, regardless of what it says or how much agreement there is, is kind of ridiculous. Until we get exascale computing, models past day 4-5 are always going to be subject to extreme variation and inaccuracy. Ensemble guidance has been pretty good this year at longer leads. Run to run is always bouncy but overall relaxations and reloads have been modeled pretty well in the d10-15 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I like the late season stuff, but most people dont care for it It's cool if it's legit. The late Mar storm was neat last year. I don't need 1/2" events in March though. Feb has truly been feast or famine here of late so it's a little frustrating seeing the pattern "fall apart." That said, two "shovelable" snows in DC is way better than recent winters if for some reason we didn't get another. Another would make it pretty passable overall.

Ian Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What if this becomes the next March 2010? Remember when nearly every forecaster (don S, usedtobe, etc) expected a repeat of feb 2010? Given that we've been getting regular dumps from the Arctic since November I have a hard time seeing March be a giant torch but we can hope.
