AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I see 4 troughs. It's a little negative responsive. The Pacific is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowWx Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Arctic power front incoming at 384. Hell if we are going to call bad long range op output we can call the weenie ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually rather not talk about the weeklies right now (turns head and pukes). Cant help but say it....JI may end up right. How many great 2-3 week looks have been touted... Reading PSU's assertion that sometimes the tellies/indies dont really have the final say obviously has merit, but I scratch my skull at how much infulence the PAC has over other forcing mechanisms.

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just my $.02 but from my reading and research lately there are SSWEs going on in tandem at both poles. This is apparently a rather rare event. Couple that with the near-record SSW SD event in our hemisphere and imho this is like a powder keg with a lit fuse. We are entering unchartered atmospheric conditions and to me it is clear why the models are struggling this severely and showing some rather unique and odd looks. Something is going to give over the next 2-3 weeks because I dont think anyone knows what to expect from these happenings at both poles and how they will effect this patterns globally. I think there is a 50/50 chance we either head into a highly anomalous pattern in the East which favors a 'cancel winter' type pattern OR something very wintry that we are all going to look back on and use as a measuring stick for future seasons. I just have a hunch things are going to bust wide open in a big way and it is really going to be worth the wait. Like I said tho its damn near impossible to say which way but some highly anomalous weather is coming to the US in a few weeks with wild swings and a tight gradient/boundary. I am holding out hope and I normally would have tossed the towel in by now. Heck even my winter outlook argues for much BN snowfall but somewhere in the East is going to pay for this run we r having....the atmosphere plays a balancing act it always has and always will and no I'm not referencing 'atmospheric memory' either lol.

Hope although not a plan is all we have right now. The winter is far too young at this point to write it off on Dec 31st. We could see some massive turnaround just past mid month.

Ji Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This winter is a carbon copy of 09-10 except that the dec 19 blizzard went to Richmond. Jan 30 to feb 10 will be epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Feb into March should be our best period for snow chances, esp given the late start to this Nino. Yes, as of today, ENSO is still offically Neutral.

I'm keeping it simple and just tracking the Pac. Until a stable +pna or -epo gets going we're going to remain in a shutout. Im not doubting that a flip to epic can happen. But it cant even get started until the pac jet lays off a direct shot into western north america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it reemerged at the end of run but was nice to see the ridge N of Hawaii weaken substantially in the mid range which to me is more important than a 384 hr prog. Start hammering that PAC pattern little by little. Still plenty of time its not even Jan 1 technically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
