Idk. I’ll take the cold dumping in the plains on Ops for now. I could care less about a trough centered over New England. The former has a much better chance of delivering with a block than the latter. 

I would normally agree with you but the past 3 or 4 winters have had a parade of storms cutting West of us with the SE Ridge flexing.

The past 3 or 4 winters have had Oct/Nov temps in Jan for the most part as well, so idk if we really have any track record to go on in recent years as far as that’s concerned with low placement + the cold dumping into the conus. This side of the world has been devoid of cold since a 2 week period in 2022.

Positive trends on. The Euro ensGfgNmdjXUAAcPT5.png

There are some differences between the operational GFS and EURO long range with the EURO being a better set up for us.  Unfortunately, when there are two options on the table, it's best to avoid disappointment and go with the less wintry solution. ;)

If the EPS had moved towards the GFS solution then I'd be super worried, instead it doubled down and improved an already great look. Even on the GEFS it looks more delayed than denied. GFS has been wrong on long range warmth at least twice already this season. Long ways to go, enjoy the model watching roller coaster lol.

Euro has been terrible last few winters with handling cold in the long range. Honestly I think we continue the pattern of warmups, rain, cold, repeat, but with a bit more frequency of the cold snaps compared to last winter as it does appear more cold will be available on the continent. I do not buy an extended cold period at all

Lots are though, including BAM

We’ll see. There are conflicting suites and it’s not locked in at all. GEFS is trending towards the Op. MJO staying in phase 6… I do not like what I’m seeing. Will it be 70s in January like the 18z gfs insists? No. But with all the cold dumping into upper Midwest and a SER entrenched I do not see winter weather chances at all through week 1 of the new year

GEFS will always follow the OP to an extent as it suffers from underdispersal issues. Doesn't mean it's wrong, just an important thing to remember. It's GFS vs everybody else right now. Tendency after the last few winters is just to go with the warm look, but seeing people like Eric Webb and BAM adamantly against the idea of a persistent western trough gives me pause. Frustrating as it may be, guess we'll wait and see.
