Oh I know all too well that randomness can screw up a great setup--just some years have better "luck"...and unfortunately, ya can't forecast that!

Our area is a numbers game. Our climo is so-so in general so we need more chances than folks north of us. We typically need 3-4 legit chances for each event that delivers. So far we've only had 2 legit chances but we did score on the first one. My definition of a legit chance is one that shows promise at d5-6. Anything further out in time than 6 days is a fantasy. I personally don't get invested in any one threat until we cross 120 hours out and never really feel confident until we get inside of 72 hours. Getting mad at a fantasy storm that goes poof outside of 6 days is bad practice in these parts. 

If you look on the bright side, there's practically no chance we get anything for more than 10 days. Enjoy the holiday undistracted and without emotion with winter wx. Things are looking about as good as they can for January turning favorable.

And the fantasy land storms begin...FV3 is straight porn for New Years. 

Since you brought this up...I'd been hesitating on posting it because we're in the realm of fantasy at 2 weeks out...but....here is the FV3. In two weeks we'll all look back at this post and say "if only that could have been":

Might have to drink a few more glasses of champagne if that rang true.

Ain't no way...lol I'd almost say impossible! On New Years?! Nah...Now after the 15th? Sure, why not?

I did like the look of the upper levels and temps after the 15th better on the weeklies - but maybe we can squeak one out first :)

If we got that one on NYE don’t think anyone would mind waiting couple weeks.  We are patient and practical weenies.

Pretty sure a low that close to us screams rain for DC. 

Not if it was truly the fully phased monster that run shows. Would be extremely tightly wound.  Heights are crashing over us. Great h5 pass. 1993 tracked up well inside the coast yet places not that far west of 95 stayed mostly snow.  We aren't used to that at this latitude but it's more common to our north.  

But this is all just for fun. It's beyond crazy fantasy range. If a storm like that ended up within 250 miles of where this run shows it that would still be an amazing achievement for the Fv3.

I’ll be in Canaan for New Years. So i can handle an inside track!

It's plenty good well before this panel but the neg nao is literally on fire going into Feb. If global ens start looking like the week 3 progression then it's a pretty good sign and not far away...

That might be the best looking block I've ever seen on an ensemble map.
