Or it could go down like the EPS control and the reaper will be busy. Suppressed, miller b split, huge suppressed storm just to our south, and the grand finale a perfect track perfect h5 huge rainstorm on Xmas eve as the cold gets too stale. 

That would be the most epic fail ever. To add insult to injury, a snow shower misses Ji by a mile and dumps a coating to his south on XMAS day

Happy hour almost delivered. But a lakes low screws it up. We get a perfect track huge rainstorm. 
 

Unfortunately that’s not that uncommon for December.  But that crap better not continue in Jan/Feb 

Shit ton of rain though.

Immediately followed by cold and windy!!

Awful. You can't afford to waste these big gulf systems. This isn't a Nino with a constant juicy stj. You gotta score now

Now in such a modeled scenario (thankfully still out in fantasy land), what does the GL low do? Steal the cold air, or?

Put a low to our northwest. Go counterclockwise around it. What direction would our wind flow be?  I’m oversimplifying it but...it cuts off the cold air source.

Yea. But my main take away is every run of every model is building a monster blocking regime. And at a time of year when that matters for some hints at the winter base state. But yea it would hurt bad if it went down that way. But I bet if this look lasts until prime climo it’s just a matter of time. What would hurt bad is if we waste this now then it flips before we get to the part of winter when we usually do take advantage of blocking.

It hasn’t happened yet. It’s close. Only a small adjustment from a snowstorm. Let’s see.

What a beautiful block towards the end of the run.

Soooo close. Not fun to look at, but take that at this range. Even has some snow in NC/VA before somehow the cold air disappears. I’d be happy with snow to rain even given it’s December. Just want to get on the board and hopefully take advantage of this blocking that’s developing.

And way out there at least according to GEFS, it looks to be a west-based -NAO.

How negative do we want this NAO to get -1 to a -2?

That’s a lot of western NA ridging for a 15 day mean.

Im in the camp of the pacific is more important than the Atlantic for overall winter type weather. Yeah I know we need the Atlantic for the big ones but we need the pacific for the cold

If you can only have one and the other will we total garbage the pac is better. We have more snows from pac help and a disaster atl then the other way. However, that assumes both the epo and pna are hostile. The advantage of high latitude blocking in a Nina is if you get enough ridging into the western NAO and AO domain it’s going to apply pressure on the TPV to either retrograde west just enough to pop a pna ridge...the you have a +epo, +pna -AO/NAO which is a great snow pattern or you get the tpv to drop into the west and pop an epo ridge and get a -epo -pna -AO/NAO which is also good. It’s hard with a great looK up top for the pac to remain total garbage in both the epo and pna domains.

It would be nice to get a -EPO, -PNA, -AO and -NAO. A east based negative NAO would be better than a west based one.
