40/70 Benchmark Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I understand why people are anxious...its disturbing seeing low heights INVOF AK to begin the season, but I mentioned in the write up that that would be a thing this season. 2011-2012 was used as a Pacific analog for a reason. However, I am confident that it will not ruin the season like it did 10 years ago. It's not going to be a wall to wall winter and we just need to tolerate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray what do you think of 2016-17 as an analog? Chris thinks thats a better analog than 2011-12 because it looks like we will have more NAO blocking than we did in 2011-12 and it will be more like 2016-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 One thing I noticed this morning is that the tropical convection forecast on the EPS does finally try to nudge east. I think some of those PNA forecasts going boom was due to convection more closer to Nina climo. The nudge east supports more of a dateline ridge probably after first week of December. EPS tries to show that. In that graphic below, look how far west the convection is. That’s probably not supportive of a -EPO to +PNA ridge for more than a few transient days despite what the models showed last week and the week before. But, it finally shows signs of moving east which supports more dateline ridging. Now to make sure we are on the good side of the gradient. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Morning Scott, didn't you say yesterday the EPS lost the ridge or something to that effect? Or cold air will be nearby but not sure if it will dip down to us? Sorry lost on this one!

Probably due to Pacific reshuffle and in tandem with Nina base state. So in other words, there probably wasn’t much going for some of those model solutions of western NAMR ridging being persistent? That’s my guess. There is a lot of volatility in the pattern. For instance guidance looks much better in the Pacific compared to yesterday, but now more of a positive NAO. I just think we are seeing things shuffle around and people are just going to have to be patient. It’s going to be awhile for snow chances outside of maybe NNE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Here is an example. This is current day 10 prog vs day 15 valid for December 1. It’s not totally far off, but look how potent the trough is near AK and into GOAK. It’s a bit further east too. Yeah day 10 looks chilly, but that’s about to be booted out of here right after day 10. To me the current prog looks more realistic for that timeframe. I do think it changes after first week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get one but just researching right now, want a 16 inch My advice is to make sure you get the same brand for all the yard tools so you don't have a bazzillion different batteries, Personally i went with green works and it has not been disappointing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It really feels like winter this morning. Not so much weather wise, but people fearing the one eyed pig after a bad EPS run, canceling winter in November, and Ray relentlessly defending his forecast. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Look I get up at 430 5 ish every day but... up the street neighbor was out at 630 AM on a Sunday with his jet engine leaf blower. I have a wheelbarrow full of Acorns that I wanted to use with my slingshot and peck them off his head. It would've been a long shot but I bet I could have gotten a few off his noggin. LOL. We had our 2 year old granddaughter over last night and of course it woke her up. Point being cmon people have a little sense of courtesy. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question will be how strong the wave will be as it moves east into the favorable phases. Currently, all the warm water is in p4/5. If it is a weak wave the effects of those cooler phases might be muted some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the right side of the gradient all year up here but you weren’t always down there. Or could be like the more recent year where we were on the wrong side of the grading a lot but Quebec city piled up two hundred plus inches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
