Whole North America void of cold. And after some hints of better things the last few days today was just awful run after awful run with no real sight of the other side. I have faith in the pattern flip for all the reasons laid out but I can't deny today was a good day for anyone going warm or the debs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No having to convince my wife to cut and run early from Vegas just to see snow. eta: Hell I might even have more luck in Vegas when it comes to snow.

psuhoffman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Cfs has really backed off. A week ago it mirrored the euro weeklies. Now it's flat awful through all of January. But hey it says the pattern gets kind of mediocre at least by mid February!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected some blips but this could be sustained pain for as long as the models can see into the future. Perhaps November will end up being the best month. My God.

Maestrobjwa Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Tbh....if winter sinks because of all this, it still doesn't feel as bad as the last two when we were completely snowholed...At least the whole northeast is in this together, lol And I also think...2019-20...perhaps we'll be due!

psuhoffman Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Don posts this 15 mins ago. I'll hug it and leave it there for today. This was one to forget. Hopefully better news tomorrow. The 12/28 MJO data is now in. The MJO remained in Phase 5 for the 11th consecutive day with an amplitude of 2.858. The amplitude is down from the 12/27 adjusted figure of 3.112. The MJO will very likely move into Phase 6 in coming days at a high to very high amplitude. During the second week of January, it will likely progress into Phase 7. Initially, both the SOI and Arctic Oscillation (AO) will likely remain predominantly positive. However, as the MJO approaches and then moves into Phase 7, the SOI will likely go persistently negative and the AO will also become increasingly negative. The second half of January could see a predominant PNA+/AO- combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually good with this. I feel like storms hit them first after pattern flips and then we eventually get in on the goods. Seeing them get hit with digital snow is actually good IMO.

AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 It's not total loss, this is a great Pacific look, and it's been consistent. It's just that we don't have any NAO support. That anoamly off the California coast is called the NPH, which is reflecting of an El Nino NOI index. It could be a sign for a stronger Nino push in February. I do question the +PNA because the GFS shows the European warmth retreating around the same time +PNA develops.

I can't blame that on the mjo. I've assumed if we could get the trough away from Alaska and off the west coast and stop the PAC from flooding the Conus we would be good. But that there is a good Pacific. Trough southwest of Alaska. -epo. And it's still a torch all across the Conus. That is now the look across guidance. I hope it's just a step and from there the jet cuts under and the ridging lifts north and a week later we are in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently two strat events taking place one in the NH and one on the Southern H. And this is causing issues according to Eric Webb, webberweather. Causing the BDC to become very active and to slow the MJO in the Maritime Continent. Thats pretty crazy. First I heard of this. I need to go and relax now, this has been a tough day with the weather.

SnowGoose69 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The good news is as of now the ENSO guidance doesn’t show a La Niña come the fall. It’s pretty steadfast on neutral to weak Niño so if we end up f*ing this up maybe we get a second chance in 19-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And historically, just before or just after a solar minimum...we usually cash in (only one or two times I can remember seeing that we didn't!)

We're all depressed around here. But to have the GFS with some rain showers moving off the south east coast at 18z while the Euro has a wrapped up sub 990 LP over Lake Erie is just crazy. FV3 does a phase job just to our north east. NAVGEM and CMC have weak waves that end as snow for us. If modeling is struggling this much at a 5 day lead then I'm not even going to worry about 2+ week lead. How much stock should we really be giving to the long range modeling atm?
