It is reinforced after that. The pattern always buckles like that.

 

JBs call is already looking bad.

There is no guarantee it gets reinforced after relaxing, as a matter of fact the models show things going zonal before going back to a trough in the west. This would follow the MJO projection into mid to late February where we end up in the warm phases of 5 to 6 and eventually 7 by March 1st. All 3 of those phases favor warmth in the east and unsettled weather.

Possibly, but this same scenario keeps getting pushed back.

Just like this cold snap was originally for end of last month, there is a delay in the MJO but it probably won't be long. Thing is there is nothing really to hold the cold dome in place, we have minimal snow cover in the region beyond the lakes or up in Northern Ontario. That in of itself signifies progression in the pattern.

I guess we will find out. I'm not very concerned with lower latitude snow cover for maintaining cold. Most of the source regions for cold are covered as usual.

This entire cold wave is going to occur while we're in MJO phases 4 and 5... both warm phases. It's finally gonna warm up by the 15th, but why so delayed? I doubt it's a coincidence that a very strong stratospheric warming event just happened and now we're seeing CPF. 

 

JB and Cohen have both said for a while that the end of February and start of March will be cold. Honestly I wouldn't expect either of them to say any different after preaching a backloaded winter. So you never know when they're just saying it or they mean it. But GFS has been consistent with showing another stratospheric warming event around the 24th that intrudes the North Pole. If this verifies, I doubt we're gonna end February on a warm note despite what the MJO suggests.
