No but in all seriousness, they have a better shot at frozen than we do with this craptastic zonal flow.

Remember how great the pattern was looking so great about 2 weeks ago, then it flipped to torch? Could easily go back to a colder look in the long range!?

SteveVa Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I would be cautious with LR forecasts considering the situation up in the stratosphere. The trop precursor for the SSW is occurring right now if I'm not mistaken, and Feb 12-13 is the time frame the actual SSW to happen. GEFS is showing that the changes will propagate to the troposphere 7-10 days after the SSW. Now what exactly that means for us is TBD and I'll defer to the experts. I have to admit my Feb optimism has failed me so far, but climo says dream on until about Mar 5. EPS has both AO and NAO tanking by the end of the run and I'll hug it, no need to be cautious when the model shows what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarmNose Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If you give any credence to the CFS, we may have a chance to sneak a wave into Baja California towards the end of February/ beginning of March.. Maybe we could squeak a marginal event out. I'm not sure what else there really is to talk about/hope for at this point. Just my two cents on the LR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 EURO wants to begin developing a -AO days 9-10 so we got that going for us. Hope springs eternal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PisgahNCWeather Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Models will have no clue for a while yet what this SSW ends up doing. I remember the warmth in late Dec. 84 and the first 2 weeks of 85 then the bottom dropped out. What I find funny is how they are suddenly making a SSW a whole nother animal in the sense that it effects Eurasia only. It effects the entire Northern Hemphishere sometimes good and sometimes bad depending on where you are but for so many to discount this is ridiculous.

Cold Rain Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm with you guys on the LR models being shaky and so forth. But phrases like "models won't be able to see the LR well until ___________________" are usually what show up right before a warm pattern. I'm hopeful, that the SSW/AO/MJO/Bad Init/ETC are the flies in the model prog ointment. But it would be nice to see at least a MOVE in the direction of a colder pattern before the end of Feb.

I don't know man, it seems every met and legitimate weather forecaster I follow still are using the Euro as their go to. Even with the SSW. Evidently the GFS was forecasting an event earlier this season like what's supposedly coming up but the Euro wasn't, and it didn't come to fruition. The Euro and the GFS are on the same page with the SSW this time that's why everyone is harping on it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I’ve got bulbs starting to sprout. What the hell? It hasn’t been that warm recently. It’s been a cold winter here too. It’s right about time for me to start some tomato seeds indoors before the transplant later in spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoperiod plays a larger role in seeing plants sprout, than weather. I've noticed the sun hanging higher in the sky in the last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we got something. In my opinion, the winter has been ok to this point. I would give it a C (average). If we can get one more widespread SE storm it could become a good winter (B). I would actually love to see a Miller B storm with a classic CAD setup. This would produce a wide range of precip types. I wouldn't mind seeing a snow, to sleet, to freezing rain, and then back to snow type storm. But all I can do is dream about it right now...
