General idea is stormy with some serious cold around over the next 10+ days. Op models will show the range of possibilities. Hopefully one or two 'threats' materialize and work out in our favor.

I guess the mid week storm is rain now too? Haha...posts like this after a week where areas of the forum got over 12” of snow. Posts like this where the pattern is going to go from “not a shutout” to the real deal in the next week. Posts like this honestly make me not want to post much anymore.

Just lol. Forecasting is a joke now, they actually show you every model run on the news. Does anyone recall that 15 years ago? I honestly don't, not like today. There's more data ad everything is more complicated, but it doesn't seem to make predicting the weather any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'm glad I look at the overnight runs before coming in here. Things look generally the same as they did yesterday when everyone was riding high.... If the gfs op showed a blizzard at hour 336 the vibe would be completely different...which is ridiculous, imo.

I don't see anyone talking about The Thursday storm. Which is perplexing. Looked like a big storm and GFS went to rain. Does that have model support now? Serious question. I am far more interested in that, than this pattern change to be honest. Snow is Snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The one legit criticism I’ll give the upcoming pattern is we need the PV to weaken and get away from Baffin Island. That’s a bad spot for us. The great looks depended on the idea the tpv would weaken and allow high pressure across Canada. If the tpv becomes stubborn the pattern becomes good but not great. The mini melt down in here is silly though. The 6z runs had plenty of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmesnow is still in Vegas so no early morning and you and Bob went to sleep. All indications are we should see an extended period of HL blocking through much of Feb. My primary nitpick is the higher heights off the maritimes where we ideally want lower heights. Also I never buy completely what the GFS is selling when it comes to its depiction of a -NAO in the LR. In this case it's more a matter of magnitude, not that it is wrong with the blocky look. We really don't need "historic" or "epic" blocking given the advertised general 500 mb pattern. Now if the Pac unexpectedly goes hostile, a big time, west-based block might be needed in order to mitigate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So much for powder here. See busts don’t just happen for us. When I picked a spot 2 days ago Killington was north of the best snow on most guidance but I anticipated a north trend. Not enough apparently as it looks like a sleet fest here now.

Whats your thoughts on the MJO, it seems responsible for this rain and messing up the pattern by going into warmer phases rather quickly from phase 7 and 8 . Its be a thorn in the side on winter so far. But notice how nicely it aligned with the DC snow I believe. Going to take some times to get into the COD , no sign it goes back to phase 8 or 1. Hopefully it decaysbut does not gain amp in 5 again later in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it decaysbut does not gain amp in 5 again later in Feb. I don't think much about it tbh. Looks like it's emerging from the COD, and even though the forecast takes it through some of the bad phases, it looks low in magnitude and heads back towards the COD. Given that, my thought is it shouldn't be having that much impact, and if it is, this isn't much of a Nino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
