GFS looks different than 18z but the hp gets pushed off and the storm cuts.

 

Ji should be around any second that 00z looks even more disastrous than 18z overall.

ETA:  In seriousness, didn’t look at the run but based on that verbatim map, wouldn’t take much adjustment for a more favorable outcome.  Push that High further west where its more of a hat on top of the low..would help shove the low east vs north.  At least I think.

Looks like our blocking is blocking us from getting snow or cold

Lol it was a pretty huge shift from 18z. This would argue a better outcome is possible if not likely.  At least if it played out no one can blame a lack of blocking or say it’s not ideally placed.  That’s a classic Greenland block.

If we keep getting cutters and rain in severe ao and nao....winters as we know them are gone forever

In all seriousness though, let this play out. You know we do better as blocking relaxes not as it forms. We just saw that play out. We had a legit threat that barely missed as the last round broke down. The blocking is in its inception there. Look at the last 2 serious blocking episodes. March 18 we suffered a cold rain in early March in the infancy of that blocking regime before getting several quality snow chances (and at least 1 some more hits depending on exact location). January 2016 we had a couple rain storms and I seem to recall you saying EXACTLY this same thing. Then something happened like a week later. Maybe it will come to me.  Just saying let this play out. If we actually get the blocking advertised on guidance and NOTHING comes of it but cutters and rain I will be shocked but also alarmed. But that’s not how I think it plays out. I do think you might have to be more patient then you want to be though.

@Ji let’s analyze this though. Then I’m getting some sleep. The GFS drives that storm up into a blocked in high and it literally makes it to Erie and gets shredded. Then jumps hundreds of miles SE and redevelops off the coast. How often is that how it plays out?  Usually it jumps once it hits that kind of confluence not 12 hours after being sheared to oblivion by it. Path of least resistance and all.  Meanwhile the CMC has so much blocking that storm never even makes it here. It gets to Texas and spins loops for 3 days because there is literally too much blocking.  I’m gonna say we should wait and that’s is a lot of room for this to adjust. Not the least of which is how the miller b around Dec 28 affects this and guidance is still shifting with that.  But goodnight. Hopefully tomorrow we get the digital snow you want.

Could easily go away next run but the euro shows potential around New Years as have other models to varying degrees. 

Snow to sleet for us.

It does produce a continuous swath of snow from the CA mountains all the way to RI..  Really slow  mover.

Seems to be one of those Atlantic VS pacific  -PNA VS -NAO  SE ridge vs confluence  trilogies.   Many more bizarre runs to come I'm sure.

Great op euro run. That look would trend colder if it held... I think we should root on the day 7 clipper to bomb and form a 50/50 eveb if it’s rain 

Walt Drag feels the 28 and 29 th cyclone bombs out near Cape Code, and I could assume further deepening , maybe that plays a role in the threat period near Jan. 2 to 5 th. 

Also of note the continuous North Atlantic wave breaking events.

I think i'm finding this less interesting than you do

Well, its disappointing,  and interesting only to the degree of final outcomes and what some had mentioned as a window for significant snowfall potential. I thought I saw where the EPS was pooling some very cold air in Central Canada late in its run. Can we tap that in January as the pattern progresses.  At least in the short-term Canada is not cold by its standards.

No.  Started looking at this from back in the old days of dial up. Maybe Eastern weather and when Bastardi didnt hype the weather.  

 

Can't resist and no intent to stir up something, but when has Bastardi not hyped the weather?  That was his M/O in his early days back in the 90's.  He was always juicing things up.

The warmest anamolies in Atlantic Canada are pretty textbook for a -NAO.  So I don't know this is necessarily all bad news

I think he means before he turned long-range forecasting into an anti-climate change propaganda machine.

He was a much better read in those days, more balanced IMHO and I learned a lot about tele-connections from him.    

Meanwhile check out the new AO forecast,  yikes !!!
