I'll illustrate. Maybe we are talking past each other and this is also just for the next two weeks or so. I think I feel better having this role into January. Anyways, I feel like I want to see these features more east for something more epic. Get that cold, but also the baroclinic zone a bit to the east. We do have that Greenland ridge and confluence east of us, but it may not force everything under us. It also may be a little on the drier side with that type of flow over us..but again that is a mean and doesn't show daily details.  We will have some chances I think...just not sold on the epic look, which for whatever reason caused angst.

Later in the 11-15 day actually shows this. I know you don't want the SE ridge, but to me, that's a more active look with a cold source nearby. Maybe more SWFE or overrunning?

With -NAO, -AO in phase 7 of MJO, should there be a SE ridge?.Makes little sense to me

It's not strong, but with that 500 look in the Pacific there will be a propensity for one I think.

Because of the -PNA I guess. I love seeing a -NAO because it usually leads to winter weather at this time of year. I'm not  buying the Christmas warmup on Euro with a big block in Greenland and phase 7 of MJO. It should be much cooler.

Well remember MJO phases won't always fit composites perfectly. It just gives you an idea.

Too bad we couldn't drop omega, forky and torch tiger on a remote island with no internet....they could just fantasize amongst themselves staring at the sun all day long...maybe add snowman21 to the mix.

Why can't we, there's enough of us here to overpower them :D

Toss MJO, it’s coloring your perception.  I haven’t looked but is it a weak wave or strong.  That makes a big difference vis a vis influence.   I’ve seen nao time and again give us AOA normal temperatures.   Nothing exists in a vacuum.
