J Paul Gordon Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Oh for heaven's sake, get in the spirit and pretend. 12-18 for Boston north and west/southwest with a little candy for the Cape and Islands at the end. It's Christmas after all. LOL Well, Merry Christmas (Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.). Looking forward to whatever comes our way. Let's hope it's white and deep.

He's already on record for a fast end to winter, so if you punt the rest of December and first week of January that mean you all only have 6 weeks or so of winter left if you're lucky. Morch on!

You still have warmth trying to come in at the end of the run. I mean yes there is a epo ridge and a nao ridge as well. Ocean ridges many mets are calling them over North America. Just don't see anything stopping that west track. As well as the negative PNA seems to be hurting us with these up and down's in temperature.

Sometimes a transient N ATL ridge can prevent a cutter, but I wouldn't put my eggs in that basket...I'm mostly happy to see the very good EPO ridging which keeps the northern tier cold.

CoastalWx Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 January 2014 shows you both how the -EPO can be pressing, and force storms south, and also how it allows for raging cutters. Just have to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we could have +EPO/-PNA and Atlantic ridging, and any coastal would probably still rain. So at least our cold source region will actually be cold.

So at least our cold source region will actually be cold. Yeah the only real defense against cutters is a huge western -NAO block.....OR....a PNA ridge that is far enough east, kind of like we saw in 2015. We had a perfectly placed western ridge that had storms either whiffing (or grazing us as late bloomers) to the east or nailing us head-on...and even then we got lucky with the 2/7-2/9 event when everything relaxed for a week with a perfect overrunning setup on a well-timed Scooter high. No wonder the jackpot was Scooter to Eastport, Maine with that western ridge placement. But PNA ridges aren't usually stationary or pseudo stationary for as long as the 2015 one was...that was kind of a perfect storm of events where that ridge kept reloading in the right spot. Much easier to get a -NAO block to rot in place like 1969 or 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Well ... for those of us not cow-tied to the EPS ... the GEFs derivatives have gotten hugely better for winter enthusiasts... So perhaps that backs us into saying both sides of the ocean appear to be arriving to a similar theme. Either way, the operational GFS ...Jesus is that model dry humping the -EPO idea now. That really looks like a prelude to the huge February 2015 ... but, there is one equally huge difference. The heights in the deep south/sub-tropical band are still to f'n high man. That giant buzz-saw vortex that sets up near JB with all those contours around it is good for cold, but you got to trust me; that is a horrible set up if you're holding out for the big ticket production. These super high gradient, deep PV flow regimes (where heights between Brownsville and Miami can't descend convincingly beneath 582 dm without winds hauling ass at 70 kts) are good for one of two results: cold and dry, or cold and nickle-dime storm systems. Which frankly... I'm an old man now and own property? I don't need 20 inch society impact events to get the point across. I love winter and good expression of it.. but I'd rather establish a snow pack based upon multiple 5-9"ers with still starlet chill in between. But we dream... In the meantime, I like the -WPO and -EPO ... those two together mark more of an AB Pacific phase and is quality when they are anchored over the larger scope. By the way...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I think some tend to look for the perfect index combos on paper.

Hazey Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Just frustrated usually up here in Nova Scotia Canada we are known for our coastal storms in the winter not for cutters. We get both. Don't sweat the small details. The mets are right. We have to have cold air lurking close by then we get chances. Sometimes you'll see Boston get nailed by a storm that hooks into Maine and gives us rain, then a day or two later another system forms but the trough is further east and we get nailed. There is enough for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is enough for everyone. It's not ideal for us but i think we can do okay. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the weather staying exactly as it has been since we've been cashing in. I'd like to see lower heights near Atlantic Canada. Might be stormy, but still riding a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
