There’s a window in that period as Scott and I were discussing. Some decent cold around and Canada gets a little bit blocky so that can work. Would be nice to get a good break early this winter after last year’s constant bad breaks. 
 

Good to see a Scooter high to the north…even if it’s clown range. 

Yup.

 

All we have is the clowns so send them in....

I argue that the "hostile" period might only be a couple of days AN. Looks like cold building in at the end of the OP GFS around the 21st and maybe a festive miracle. We pray 

Ensembles haven’t been as enthusiastic but they’ve been VERY uncertain. If you look at some of the spread, it’s higher than climo baseline for D13-16. 

It also goes back to what I mentioned earlier in how 4-5 days ago, the end of the ensemble runs were for the 12/15 period and they looked a lot like they do now for 12/20…but as we got closer, they kept cooling that 12/13-17 period. It remains to be seen if the same will happen for that 12/20-22 period, but if MJO goes into weak phase 8, then you’d actually have another factor that could help it trend more wintry.

Updated Euro seasonal looks a lot like my forecast....crappy bookends of December and March, with a good January and February sandwiched in between.

I would take that and run. Get the best patterns during peak climo. Part of the issue with last year is when we had our “best” patterns we were fighting climo, while the heart of winter was a massive torch. Punting December isn’t ideal, but I see anything we get in December as a bonus. Punting January is really really bad.

Exactly ...

In dailies/practical terms, there's nothing there to be either disappointed with, or happy about.  It's really oblivious. 

Agree,  be it MJO ...or a Asian wave break in the flow ...something to impact enough forcing to synergy/constructively interfere.

One thing I am noticing is the WPO is ( numerically) negative, despite the EPO flatlined.  If an MJO is destined to propagate out of the Marine region and comes into western Pac up underneath, the two could certainly do what we are asking above.  If ( and hopefully when) that happens, we see a pattern change from this marching shit above into something more classical.  It could do it pretty quickly too - we'll see.

Agree with this and was making a similar point yesterday.  Lotta ways to skin a cat, tropical forcing being one of them, but would prefer it be some form of combination of influences to overcome background interference.

Yup, wrote about this last page or the one before, this morning.

This is not a-typical of 'big warm up' topography whence during these progressive/fast flow patterns.  The "correction vector" is less length of time.   Over and over again, over the years of modeling we can observe this.  A 6-day warm up ends up 18 to 48 hours of warm sector.

This did it exactly like that again.

Then followed by an ‘07-08 extreme latitude gradient winter where he gets almost double the pike region. 

That year was really weird..  My buddy in FIT ( just N of Rt 2 in those hills) got something like 130" ...I was still in Acton at the time and got something like 70 - which isn't bad... It was above normal but Acton and FIT are like 20 mi tops.

It's been a weird stretch for that area for sure. Wx2fish isn't far from you and I know he shares your sentiment. 

2016-17 was a pretty solid winter up there too not long before he moved there…had a couple of latitude storms.  It’s like as soon as he moved there l, they turned into the CT river valley.

I had 73.5"  in Wilmington, but here in Methuen it must have been 85-90".
