This does not mean I'm "rooting for warmth". I love a good cold/snowy pattern just like anyone else but I'd like to see it in the nearer range before jumping on board. Last year was a great example-models (and you for that matter) kept showing a great pattern that never materialized. While winter may or may not be over, just because models are "seeing" something does not mean it's coming. Lessons learned from last year.... Not sure why you get so angry at anyone who doesn't push a cold/snowy agenda....it's kind of odd really. It's a discussion board, respect others opinions even if you don't agree with them. There is 0 anger when pointing out guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 You can see the struggle that the models are having as they transition from phase 5 to phase 6 longer range. Phase 6 composites move the NPAC ridge closer to the West Coast. So those wavelength changes may be hard for the models to properly resolve until under 10 days. We can see more of a -EPO emerge when we start getting closer to 6-7. But you need a strong enough -EPO response to really knock the SE ridge down from such an amped up phase 4-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB-99 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 When you look at the SE ridge by day 10, look at it from a SD perspective. A light SE ridge in the means with the TPV flowing east of the Rockies means that low level cold air will undercut it. So you create a baroclinic zone from time to time that could work. In late Jan , it`s not about anomalies , look at the actual 850`s. Look at the actual 850`s on the WARM/RIDGE GEFS, after day 9 they are well S of you.

Yeah, we need the a strong enough -EPO to at least bring the PNA back closer to neutral. A little -PNA is enough to pump the SE ridge out ahead of storms. I think the last time a strong -PNA really produced for us was back in 2014. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being biased cold or warm just degrades the discussion. Just get out of the way and let the pattern speak for itself. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that the current pattern could have been predicted was back in the early 2010s. We lost the -NAO blocking back then and needed historic levels of -EPO to continue the snowy pattern. It was only a matter of time before that would go away too. We needed miracle comebacks in winters like 2015-16 and winters that followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I like the looks of the pattern for some type of over running event after the 17th. The cold will be just to our north with a active storm track. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 You can see the RMM plots are starting to correct towards the colder phases. They have a bias cod in the long range typically. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t in any way make him a “warminista”. The pattern has been lousy this winter so far just like last winter. Those are facts, not any kind of bias. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 2 hours ago, LibertyBell said: Yup, that was prevalent during the late 80s and early 90s. Note how cold our Jan avg temps were during the 80s with low snowfalls. Thats a good side effect of our increasing precip totals since 2000- it's now difficult to get a below avg temp month combined with below avg snowfall, however it can still happen if the pattern dictates cold/dry followed by warm/wet followed by cold/dry, etc. And such a pattern is very stable and difficult to dislodge. Storm track is very important. Just looking at the DJF temperature departures in NYC doesn’t tell the whole story for snow. March 2017 and January 2019 a great examples of this. But the one common denominator for NYC is that it needs a cold winter to reach 50 inches of snowfall. NYC winter temperature departures since 2010 and seasonal snowfall. 18-19....+1.2....20.5 17-18....+1.1....40.9 16-17....+4.2....30.2 15-16....+5.9....32.5 14-15....-3.7.....50.3 13-14....-2.2.....57.4 12-13....+1.7....26.1 11-12....+5.4....7.4 10-11....-2.3....61.9 09-10....-1.3.....51.4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another reason that we could see plenty of model volatility after phase 5. https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/JCLI-D-15-0862.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
