Jan Medium/Long Range Disco 2: Total Obliteration is Coming

I will say this...we have now had 17 days of a damn near perfect longwave pattern for snow, pretty much since the pacific jet shifted around xmas.

And so far we have 2 perfect track rain events and 2 cutters to show for it.  Yes I know we were left with a torched thermal profile after the December Pac onslaught, I don't know why everyone feels the need to point that out.  

But it will be comical in a Shakespeare tragedy kinda way, if we continue somehow through winter...finding ways to fail despite a pattern that matches every huge snow winter we've had.   After being too warm the TPV drops down on top of us and suppresses everything for weeks...then maybe we finally get it to relax but it shifts too far west and we get cutters again.  

The meltdowns will be entertaining at least.

Even in said Shakespeare hypothetical...the worse part would be that we really wouldn't have an answer...as a suppressed pattern wouldn't answer the "too warm" question as that would be more of a bad luck thing, right?

Feels like the TPV is just getting deeper and deeper and remains uncomfortably close. Would not be surprised if the EPS also reflects more suppression.

Should we like...start rooting against that somewhat (I know we obviously need the cold) so we can get more space for waves? Not just talking about for Tues, but in general.

Yeah, we had a nice NE Pacific High pressure when the 2-3 cutters happened though

Now, the NAO space and 50/50 low were just about perfect, but this goes back to our argument that the Pacific is dominating right now..

Don't quote me, but I think we just need the TPV to ease off a bit... ridging increasing behind the storm bodes well for it amplifying in a vacuum but it needs room and the TPV won't give it any! Ease off too much though and with ridging behind like that, could risk too much amplification I think.

We're pretty good at light precip events showing up within a few days.  It happens with rain, but we just care more when it's snow lol.  As long as there's sustained cold, the chances are up that we'll get something out of it.  The issue is that we haven't really had sustained cold...so that's why I'm more interested in tracking that.
