Mid/Late February will be rocking. (This year we mean it!) February long range discussion.

GFS is a parade of disturbances with no access to cold air at our lat. need that to change.

That’s actually what’s been scaring me the most. No real cold. The ens look below normal but it’s below normal in late Feb. and early March… it takes a little more especially if the time of day ends up not ideal.

Not sure of 2016, but I honestly don't recall at 10 days if it looked rainy (or various rainy solutions).  I just remember a week out everything locked in to a major winter event.  Now, Feb. 5-6, 2010...I've heard from others (@psuhoffman maybe?) that it was a bit dubious farther out in time once it got on the radar of interest.

Those storms had less NS interaction to figure out.

Unfortunately, this has become a common occurrence, basically since 2017.

It’s not as bad as it’s been in the recent Nina’s but guidance is still showing a tendency for mid latitude and subtropical ridges to extend too far north despite blocking. Gfs even links the ser with the high latitude ridge again. 
 

For the last 5 years I’ve heard “that’s a Nina problem not you know what, we have to wait for a Nino”.  Well…

If the same happens in a nino, then we can’t simply say it’s a “la nina problem”

Been an occurrence ever since the Atlantic started to warm. The Atlantic is very warm and the Pac is warm as well.  

Need to let ships emit SO2 again. Good idea to curb it... bad unintended consequences.

What's your thoughts on PD weekend? Looks like precip may come further north now. What do we need to see happen so it's cold enough other than a miracle lol.

Unfortunately what’s allowing it to come further north (a more relaxed flow than expected) is also allowing for thermal issues. We need that NS wave to play nice. Come across ahead and set the boundary. Or phase in behind. Riding right over the top is not going to work. It’s got a shot. I never said it didn’t.  But it’s still more complicated than I like. I’m tracking it through. Just have nothing to add really.

Article in the Washington Post yesterday that latest studies show the Gulf Stream may collapse due to fresh water glacial melt sooner than previously thought, like within a few years.  Could cool things off over 30 degrees...mini ice age.  Maybe that will kill the SER.

Thank god

Here is one reason why I have eyes on PD despite the op gfs showing a rainstorm.

Feb 13-14 was supposed to be a cutter and was depicted as such up until earlier this week. And we don’t even have cold air anywhere nearby. I think we will see it evolve in our favor once the models work out the northern stream under a greenland blocking regime.

What the issue with a little mass ecological destruction when it comes to us getting more snow?
