So far this season, I like the fact that we're getting strong high pressures dropping into the US and moving into the damming regions.  Those have been conspicuously absent much of the last couple of years.  So, we've started off on the right foot there.

Now, as NCSNOW said, we need more shortwaves.  And as Shetley would quickly point out, those have largely been conspicuously absent THIS season.  I'm supposing this is a La Niña effect.

If we can remain in this pattern of at or below normal in the face of hostile teleconnections, I will almost consider that a win.  Hopefully, we'll be able sneak our way into something.

And good work, Jon!  I like what you did with week 4 there.  Having the heart of the cold just to the west indicates to me that the storm track might not be so suppressed that we end up very cold and sunny.

The MJO is in the outer part of the circle of death and trying to peek out in phase 5-6...which is absolutely no good for anyone in the east.

That's his point, hope I have it right. As long as mjo stays inside the circle where good to go. He says the left side of the circle is gold but bottom line is as long as we stay inside no matter where SE avg normal to BN.

 

I have alot more faith in Larry and his research than Cohen SAI index when trying to look into the LR and study indicies, tcs etc

In reality, probably not.  But Larry was specifically talking about what the Euro suite was showing.

Yes he was and the mjo forecast it spat out last night showed it staying inside the circle and possibly heading more toward the left side.

Mac you need to get webber and larry to explain  how all this affects wave patterns downstream, very deep. But webber imo is ahead of his time. Weather , atmosphere is one big working piece, with  multiple parts in motion continuously feeding back n forth off each other causing the net results we expierence in our micro climates. It's never constant and always guranteed to change. What makes it such a challenge to try and predict. Funny thing is as chaotic as it appears at times its really masterfully created to provide the balance required to sustain life her on earth.

Man that was deep. Lol

Is that Euro-based or GFS-based?

GEFS

True, but I'd at least like to see it on the left side, specifically in phases 7-8-1. While it's in the CoD, it's too close for comfort on the right side.

Man, Larry is great and explains things really well! Webber is awesome I'm sure, but reading his posts are like reading Arabic!

Fact of the matter is that we all should take anything past 5 days with a ton of salt (not the highway laying down kind either)

This quote is so overused lol. Everyone here knows how model-watching works. We know it's not set in stone.

If you want to be perfectly technical, you should take anything beyond what it's doing outside at exactly this moment with a "ton/grain" of salt, because no one, computer or person, knows *exactly* what it's going to do even one second from now. All we have is "guidance." That's what models are. No certainty.

First it was "take anything past 10 days with a 'grain' of salt." Now it's down to "take anything past 5 days with a 'ton' of salt." So that's basically saying we're using a lot more salt for half the original time (10 days), so technically we're more uncertain at day 5 instead of 10...wut? lol

:huh:

To be fair this year has not been the norm. We have seen a lot of change beyond day 5.

AO set to reach +5 in 3-4 days on the GFS Ensemble Mean per this calculation...just ugly

What goes up must come down grit! Better we have this happening in December.

12z Euro like Met said above is throwing us a bone or two after Christmas. 12z GFS storm Day 10 isn't a bad look either with very cold 850s wrapping around the low. Interesting. I highly doubt the ensembles have the end of the year figured out.

Not sure if my images are posting, I'm on mobile. Any case I'll post again - sorry if this post also double posts, having trouble with that while editing in tapatalk. d36a699509b5784dc5519385dfcd5eb2.png

And the following January for those years

Correlation? Maybe slight? Maybe other players on the field? Have not gone back to look. But other than '11 given these extreme AO's, there's still hope I guess.

Iv not really seen a torch pattern unless you like looking at 384 hours GFS all day.

Sorry didn't mean torch in true sense.  Just warmer than desired.  I call everything above 50 a torch.  In full sun 50 does feel like a torch at least to me.  I was hoping for 30 with snow showers on Xmas.  Wishcast I suppose.

Enjoy the winter we get

Although no material snow so far, the weather has been supportive of Advent.  A blessed time of year

Interesting that February and early March 1980 featured some of the best winter weather the SE has ever seen (Grasps at straws!)
