But isn't it even more than just blocking with Ninas? I thought another reason were also problematic because of having little to no STJ...and more NS interference. That element isn't as problematic in Niños, is it?

Also, I'm still trying to visualize how 1995-96 worked...was the blocking so strong it forced everything under us, or?

Extreme blocking can help with slowing things down and mitigate some of that. It can’t, however, juice up the STJ.  But we can get legit snowstorms out of the weaker STJ waves or a hybrid NS system in a Nina. 1996 was a lot of things. The northern pacific didn’t behave like a Nina much of that wither. The stj was more active than normal.  The blocking. And I think some was just change. We got lucky and hit on almost every threat.

WB 12Z EPS is not the GFS toaster oven…

Interesting that the EPS and GEFS now have the PNA nearing neutral around the 13th. Perhaps that could be an early storm signal with some brief west coast ridging?

Alongside -EPO, and AO/NAO relaxing from their -3SD minimums. Probably too early into the pattern's progression, but worth noting.

At what point does this projected pattern  stop being a question of  Lucy picking  up the football and becomes a realistic probability? Inside 10 days? 8 days? 5days?

The -NAO starts building at D5. That’s not fantasy land.

Doug Kammerer just said he expects alot of rain between Christmas and New Years.

Going all in on his  2" of snow call for DC this winter. :lol:

One thing I hate is a guy like this making that call…he has no idea if it will rain or not next week let alone 3 weeks from now…and not seeing the upcoming potential just to double down on 2 inches of snow because he made that call a month ago…he has no clue what will happen…no one does…he’s a turd sandwich

If these looks up top end up verifying it is going to be a pretty big coup for mid-long range modelling. We were talking about this possibility almost two weeks ago now. And the look has actually gotten better since then. I would like to see a little more ridging on the west coast. And I wouldnt mind the can getting kicked down the road a couple of weeks. It would help you guys on the coastal plain a ton IF something does pop off. It is just so much better to be tracking a legit pattern instead of the garbage we have been tracking early in the past couple of winters. Hell, I think I jumped last year around New Years. The writing was on the wall. At least we have a possible game to play.

I thought his snowfall forecast was pretty extreme. Could it happen... sure. Will it likely happen? Who knows. His winter forecast was for 4" to 10" all the way west past Hagerstown.

That would be one of the lowest snowfall winters all time for Hagerstown.
