Winter 2019-20 Medium/Long Range Discussion

Larry Cosgrove seems to like January in the Midwest.

 

I like the European model weeklies with its "washed out cold" look between January 1 and 23 covering much of the nation. In terms of snowfall potential (again keeping in mind the active storm track....), this looks like a superb set-up for the Great Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes to see important snow (and some ice as well). The Rocky Mountain ski resorts should also do well as disturbances move into teh trough and set up cases of upslope flow or moisture advection from the western Gulf of Mexico.
 
Winter will get here, folks, just give it time. But the Interstate 95 cities will probably have to wait a little longer.

LC actually seems like one of the better long range guys over the years.  At least he doesn't try to spin toward cold/snow on a regular basis, so this is more encouraging than somebody like JB saying it.

What he is saying is right, at the very least it isn't wall to wall blowtorch look starting around the first.

The Midwest got such a head start on the snow season that it will be virtually impossible to set futility records the season.

The futility comment was more in reference to posters stating that winter is done more than actually breaking record minimal snowfall records.

The updated (FV3) GFS is the Mitch Trubisky of forecast guidance.  The Euro is Tom Brady.  The GEM and ICON are Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tim Tebow.

The entire winter is Michael Vick - not actually in the game, yet everyone keeps talking about him.

Wondering if this torch is actually helping to warm up the lake and will come to bite us in January during any onshore flow events.

At least the near shore temps should come up a bit.  Probably not major though.  I think there would have to be a real junk airmass to still be causing issues near the lake in January.
