Haha see above. @psuhoffmanor someone knowledgeable like to weigh in?

OK, I'm not @psuhoffman and don't play him on TV...and yeah my previous comment was meant as snarky humor.  But in all seriousness, just giving a cursory glance at the 500-mb flow around that time, it seems to me that the GFS just lifts everything more.  The PV seems to get shunted north or elongated a bit, with little confluent flow; rather than forming a 50/50 type low it sits way up there in northeast Canada.  We end up with flow coming right off the Pacific.  At least according to the GFS ops.  Here's one snapshot:

Ty! Seems like if things are still this volatile from run to run things can still pan out.

PD is by no means "dead". No it doesn't look like big dog potential, but there is a signal for a storm there. The latest op runs indicate it will require timing with NS energy. Well this isnt surprising- it has been a theme, even in the one week deep winter period back in Jan. So far this has not been the quintessential 'quiet' NS Nino. My wag is it won't be going forward either.

I'd let others more knowledgeable chime in, but that was just my back-of-the-envelope thought and assessment.  And yeah, it's looking at the ops GFS at 240 hours.  I wouldn't put a huge amount of stock in that...being an ops run at that time range, plus, well, the GFS.  But taken in isolation, I don't care for that flow as it's shown.

The real question. How many 120’s deep are you!? :lol:

Why do you think that is?

The southward displaced TPV between the developing NA block and the amped up EPO ridge. That should close off and shift north heading into the end of Feb/beginning of March per LR guidance. Somewhat different setup, but during our wintery period in Jan there was a TPV 'stuck' under a retrograding -NAO. These H5 configurations will produce a busy NS. Going forward the developing block with a legit 50-50 low should help shift/consolidate the NS energy in that region and inhibit it from dropping southward as much.
