February is upon us - pattern change is in order

[CoastalWx]

Pattern sucks. Even with help from the nao region the SE ridge just flexes. We aren’t getting much winter until that relaxes.

Yeah... the NAO is voodoo to me... but even if it somehow does happen... if the other metrics suck it isn’t going to matter.

This winter is doing a Usain Bolt 100 meter dash into the suck category.

It's not voodoo, my point was the SE ridge is flexing too much at the moment.

Are you prepared to say no more snow for Feb in SNE?

[AfewUniversesBelowNormal]

look at Pacific, pattern is not suppose to be this warm right now

SSW is maybe diversion from obvious global warming happening

check this out

No, that's dumb.

It's called a SE ridge.

And it’s not going away.  All we can hope for is it to get a beat down by the PV and we squeeze a storm between the 2

But but the EPO will save us!

Ugh pattern is crap... Im almost ready to give up on this winter.. I got a 6 month old so a warm-up would be nice just to get outside more with him.

7 days is way too optimistic I think.  It would at least 10 until it gets better.

I think hm was hinting at the ssw taking time to kill the se ridge but that it will happen.

Why I referred to next weekend as “sneaky”.  The pattern is still hostile

The other thing I haven’t seen much posts about is how far north the vortex is. Canada is very cold, but the vortex is so far north that the cold is having a tough time penetrating deep into the US. The pattern for the time being certainly favors more of the Plains into the Great Lakes. ORD should  make up for the snow deficit.

Oh yeah it's hostile for awhile.  I'm just curious as to what happens after. Its been considerably more hostile here relative to climo than sne. The war need to weaken or else this will go down as one of the worst winters here.

Lock it up. Nfld and NS are in correction territory. I just hope it's not a multi year phase.

Tanning the nap today, beautiful. This is why I love all of New England.  Deep winter is 2 hrs away. Powder day at many resorts. Pretty sure the path is developing for some serious winter to return to all end of Feb, don't be surprised if we are in full weenie mode somewhere around the 25th.

Libations?

[HoarfrostHubb]

Steady as she goes for misery in SNE at least through day 7.  Close the blinds, put on the Olympics, and read Kocin/Uccellini until then.

Where is the other weenie who said we aren’t having lousy winters anymore?

After the blizzard into mid February,  it wasn't expected to imo.

I don't think it will happen. I think this ssw will help us out. But no one really knows.

There was a paper written on Hadley cell expansion from global warming.  So there might be a link there.

Global hemispheric wave pattern. Enjoy being miserable, you seem to like that.

[Ginx snewx]

Probably a good time to take a break from here, reading incessant whiny posts from supposed grown ups for a week  is old.  You want winter go find it.

[Hazey]

He's home rocking himself to sleep listening to comfortably numb after smashing his computer.
