The odds of 2015 repeating are very low. That was certainly an hisitoric stretch. I would have to take a look at the 2 volume set of Early American Winters to find comparable stretches of snow accumulation. Certainly 1717 qualifies.

I'm sure the runs with change but yeesh was this a winter cancel run. Sir we would like to help you but all complaints need to be filed with Mr Joe Bastardi.

JB calls for a cold and snowy winter prior to every winter. A 3rd grader can do the same and be right as often as JB is. And I am sure JB appreciates you having him on your "like" list.....

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 23 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: Yes....trended into more of just a decent western ridge pattern with this relaxation that comes first in the D7-10 range....though we still may score a storm threat in there....remains to be seen. This is if we go on the EPS. GEFS are still showing a really good pattern but the EPS has trended pretty hard the past two runs away from the EPO/PNA combo. There's probably a lot of struggle with the strong wave in the tropic that is causing these swings. The backing away from PNA doesn't suprise me.

At any rate, there is all of the sudden a lot of volatility and my guess is the tropical PAC is giving guidance fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s what our new climate baseline favors, so I can only imagine how a winter dominated by the -NAO would turn out. I have read some research (unfortunately I don't have a link) theorizing that the best blocking occurs 1 to 2 years after the solar cycle minimum...for instance 09-10, and 10-11. If that holds true, look out for the next two winters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regression radicals can't have the weenie and eat it, too....NAO needs to regress, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Euro was trying to put a gradient in Canada which would trend us more toward a true torch vs just merely above normal but still cold enough for storm chances. And yeah, the GEPS/GEFS did look a lot better. So we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekends systems is OK, but then left to wait another week or more for the mere possibility of a storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 We do this same rigmarole every winter....."looks good in 10/15 days"....then Poof....it's gone as you get closer. Great patterns aren't foreseeable beyond like day 7 at most, sorry. They more often then not just pop up out of nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, this is totally not true...we saw most great patterns out in advance....2013, 2015, Mar 2018, etc....they do sometimes get pushed back, and sometimes they fail to materialize altogether, but it's definitely not true that we didn't see those types of patterns until inside 7 days.

WinterWolf Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Here's the crazy part.....we were all psyched when a few days ago it(EPS) showed the great pattern in the 8-11. Now a few days later it's showing us a not so good pattern all of a sudden, so it could just as easily be wrong with the bad look, as it was (potentially)wrong with the great look. I mean these long range progs have been atrocious lately. I have very little faith in them this season whether they show a good look or a bad one.

Yeah, but the even crazier part is when the 8-10 shows good stuff that goes bad, the bad is rarely ever wrong. Rarely do bad signals improve in the 8-10 day timeframe, usually if the 8-10 is ugly, it stays ugly. The old it can only get worse from here mantra... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
