Feb To Forget? - 2020 Discussion

That’s such a drastic change/demonstratively different I’m inclined to argue that we’re looking at a completely different system at this point; like the models were just wrong about everything and then we transition right into a new scenario altogether. It just happened to be fitting into the same timeframe. We are correcting for two different streams simultaneously ... coincident in time  

 Bye-bye southern stream hello new from the North but we’ll see if it has legs

Just looked at the CFS monthlies. March is gonna rock!

Who wants it in March? Keep pushing it back, Was January (late) February 7-15 or so, now March..........not saying we won't have a large event, but hell this winter sucks. Days are longer, whatever

Why isn’t February going to be good? Maybe I missed something but I didn’t see any big changes in guidance.

No wasn't directed to you, I just saw EastonSN say march is going to rock....., I just see a Mild week next week, hoping it's temporary , it seems that when  a week or month looks cold, we get close, and its gone or "next month", nothing towards you or anyone,

If it is going to rain next week, I hope it "torches". Pretty sure the past 2 Februarys have had 70s, so why not. But that boundary has been shifting south, so probably end up cloudy with drizzle and 30s....

Grand Planetary wave alignment forecasted by Euro ensembles has similaritis to the week of the Legendary March 1993, displaced a bit west  Similar more often than not tho, does not produce the same, but pattern certainly looks more wintery

This type of stuff pisses me off...

why even post a comparison to March of 1993 if you're going to say "oh but its unlikely"

This happens on twitter a ton...there will be a post "Oh here's the GFS solution and snow map for D11 showing potential for 20-30''...but it's extremely unlikely to happen"

Like what's the point of the post??? This does nothing but create hype and create a false sense...it's garbage like this which is leading the public to lose faith in meteorologists. I have a friend who is in the landscaping business and he is very in-tune with the weather...checks information across all platforms, asks for my feedback, and he'll show me stuff which he comes across and he says to me...he talks to alot of people in the business (landscaping) and they get pissed when they come across information like that.

Maybe you can talk me off the ledge, however for southern New England we are starring at a strongly positive AO, trending positive NAO, trending negative PNA and an MJO that is stuck in the warm phases.

Northern New England can do fine with this type of gradient, however with the resulting SE ridge showing up on the GEFS and GEPS I can definitely see where SNE is on the wrong side of the gradient.

What mechanism can overcome this? The only thing I can think of is a deeply negative well positioned EPO ridge. Possible? Yes but likely? I am not sure as I am not a met. I hope so.

We keep kicking the can on the -epo also. The February 5-9th period was supposed to be below normal but now it’s more after the 9/10th. With the mjo in unfavorable phases the -pna could very easily be worst as we get closer with a stronger southeast ridge. Granted sne can obviously do better in a gradient then my location. I guess I’m looking for some positivity also lol.

Thanks you have been spot on accurate with winter along with Bluewave and Isotherm. Even though there are some differences to last year, the results are largely the same. March always holds promise due to shortening wavelengths so I have not given up on something happening. I know some have predicted a favorable NAO helping to offset the Pacific, however if the ensembles are correct it's not happening soon.

I would be excited big I resided in upstate New York or northern New England due to gradient.

Noyes with 40’s thru day 10. Guess a lot watch that channel 

Not sure what the hate is on Noyes. I know it's not you but several others just seem to dismiss him like he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just because he isn't a weenie on-air hyping every piece of energy that shows up on the Euro/GFS and is professional, doesn't make him wrong all the time. And for the record, I watch both WCVB and NBC10 mainly because of their mets and how good they are. Noyes/Kelly are some of the best in the local business, along with Harvey of course.

Thanks. But I think I’m going to bust on the cold outbreak for the 6th. The strat hit has weakened so the air is more modified. In March p2-5 are cold and it looks like the mjo wants to hang there because of the warm waters near Australia. We would still need a -epo for a cold March which I hope shows up sooner then later. 
 

I wouldn’t look for a -nao anytime soon with the current PV orientation. Perhaps that changes closer to March if we can blow this Pv up. That being said, we are not done with snow. Something will work out sooner then late r. Especially, for areas further north then me.

I'm sure you are tongue-in-cheek, but to me it's because it's not about being accurate or right, or hell even weather half the time.   It's about attention, likes and shares.   People need flash and pizzazz or their attention wains only to be given to the next ostentatious thing.

This is exactly what it is...excellent post. 

The way social media works in the weather world is if you post about cold/snow happening...you'll get thousands of likes, shares, interactions, and follows. Meanwhile, those who don't hype and explain the situation exactly at is may only get several likes and minimal interaction.

I like him and think he’s a very good met. There’s others on here who do not like him for various reasons . Will went to Cornell with him. Said Noyes was very helpful to him as a freshman. He’s even developed his own in house model at NECN.

So I have a question regarding next week. Meteorologist here in Connecticut NBC you saying that we're going to have a warm-up Tuesday Wednesday into the 50s. Our favorite met, Henry M is saying that we're going to get colder and snow weird next week.( yeah yeah.. I already see the eye rolls and shoulder shrugs..lol ). Anyway, thoughts on this? Finally going to get into a snowy or wintry pattern next week. End of next week?

It’s possible next week has a gradient type system where we’re north of the gradient. More likely in NNE but the overall trend the pst few days has been to flatten the system mid-week. 

Trend could easily reverse or continue. We probably won’t know more until we clear out the weekend garbage too.

Had no idea that he developed that himself. Pretty impressive. They use it all the time on-air
