Ji Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The bigger red flag on the euro is how racing straight back toward the warm phases at warp speed after spending like a week in the cold. If we want to worry about a realistic way this whole winter could be an epic dumpster fire fail that would be it right there. If its cod...probably wont matter the phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that but I’m not sure I put much faith in its forecast of the MJO past a week, if even that long. But if its heads for the COD from Phase 8, would it matter?

But if it dives into the cod then reemerges into warm phases a week later and repeats its last cycle we're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, some other mysterious force will manufacture a great pattern during p5-6 just to remind us that we have no idea why patterns do what they do.

Lol. I do believe in chaos. And when the mjo is in low amplitude it can be overcome by other drivers. But when it's at high amplitide like recently it's usually going to overwhelm the pattern.

Those 3 years couldn't have been more different. 65/66 lead to an epic snow blitz late January. 84/85 was an extreme arctic blast but a total bust for snow. Cold dry then a warm up. A total crap snow year. He knows 90% care about snow not cold so those analogs are useless for gleaming anything meaningful. Yea at some point it will probably get cold. In winter??? Really. Omg. Lol Yes I learned years ago to pay him no attention. Which is sad because he has forgotten more than I'll ever know. But he has an agenda and also a paid site. He has to hype.

I'll occasionally read or watch him because I can usually tell what is legit and what is just BS. Sometimes he is full of it and just stringing people along while praying for a miracle or a way to spin what's going wrong. I can usually tell the difference. When he starts contradicting himself, ignoring the fact things he used as key parts of a forecast have gone wrong and swapping to "other reasons" or simply starts on about stuff that isn't that significant or just plain wrong he is just BSing people on purpose Imo.

The thing is.... this type of winter (in general) is by far the most common type we get. Lots of deadspace and short windows of good opportunities. This one is a little worse because except for early Dec it's been a shutout pattern with no hope. We typically get more chances of a fluke or lucky event. We cant even get close to that. We do get some amazing winters sometimes so it gives us hope at the beginning of every year but failure and disappointment is kinda status quo more than a punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 18z GFS continues to advertise the big time pattern flip....very cold and wintry after Jan 9....maybe showing up too fast but it's coming like a freight train.

Kind of far fetched seeing as it's the op but 18z does bring back winter by next Wednesday and keeps it around throughout the run. Not much in terms of snow but plenty of cold. Let's see if the GEFS holds again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again probably wrong in rushing it in this fast but like I keep hitting on the flip may very well be a sneak attack on us. So many folks are looking out towards Jan 20+ and worrying about details at that range leading up yet missing many important aspects in the medium range which could cause a flip like a light switch and a surprise (short range lead time) storm to usher things in. We'll see but I am about as optimistic that 'its happening ' than I've been in a while.

I'm personally going to try and ease up on looking for unicorns and epic near-perfect patterns to lock-in at 14 day lead times + and instead am in 10 day and under mode for the time being. If we can start getting true workable patterns to show themselves in the shorter range and actually verify I'll worry about duration after the fact. We should probably shift focus to getting whatever we can then hope it can establish or repeat afterward. Dont we always say get the cold air in first then worry about storms second? Signs on more guidance than not that we will start seeing some decent negative temp anomalies coming sooner than some may realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can get get cold even in the worst pattern but unless we can lock it in for a while forget it. Maybe we get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Too bad the GEFS doesn't run out to hour 600. By then, all of the snow hostility will have worked its way out of the pattern. Otherwise, it is a 44 deg. N pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Again, not getting too far out like mid month, but important changes consistently showing now within around 10 days. One important feature I've been watching is the ridge N of HI finally breaking down. Actually takes an interesting progression and moves into the EPO area building heights there like a flip of a switch. This scenario has repeatedly been hinted at and while still a long way out is now within about 10 day which is *fairly* reasonable for key pattern features being shown.
