Mid month seems better on guidance. Let’s Morch.

The PAC ain’t changing…. +WPO/+EPO FTW. So much for that plunge into an arctic tundra with mountains of snow mid-late March some were hyping on twitter….

Trolling kevin aside. If you’re going to pull  70s in a March this would be one to do it.  It doesn’t take much for a couple of DSD days if we’re already past mud season into CNE. 

I'm ready to move on. Sledding season is done with no hope of recovery and while that hurts, it means I can get out on the road bike and do some cycling earlier than usual and at least start making plans for the boating season. I think we're due for a hot/dry summer and while I don't prefer those, after last Summer's debacle, I'll gladly take it. Lawn might not like it though.

Curious from a meteorological standpoint - how does mud reason related to downsloping?

They've already done a cursory street sweep on the major cycling routes down here because people have been out like crazy the past 2 weeks.

They don’t. But the point is everyone east of the Rockies is ahead of schedule with soil conditions and/or green up. So there won’t be much modification to our warm airmasses and any DSD day will be ripe for post-mud season type diurnal swings.

There's always that mental battle for me between lawn health, and a desire for hot/dry summers.  I had about an acre spray-seeded two years ago that was previously a horse playground.  So that grass is still getting established.  June sucked last year having to water it, but I didn't need to do anything from July through September.

He's right about the telecon suggestion, though.

But you're both right -

There's competing aspects, but both being real - which one wins?

Cool appeals get adulterated since ... 2012. Maybe background biases associated with CC have something to do with it whether JD approves or not ... But whatever the cause, whenever uncertainty turns into certainty, the conversion always manifest as a warmer redraw compared to whatever the models had originally seen.  I can't tell you how many times I've seen a 850 mb continental plume of neg anomalies get rotisserie chicken lamped somehow along the way.  Maybe it's just a modeling physics problem - but I doubt it.  The fact that we verify above whatever the climate of the day is, like 80% of the time is damning... I dunno - letting y'all squabble over it while I grin.

Be that as it may, a -NAO is too climate friendly to ignore. 

This 12z run... jesus.  Both the Euro and GFS oper are materializing the -NAO over the eastward limb of the domain, which allows for left turning troughs... That smacks as the -PNA having a transitive ( non-linear ) say in how the hemisphere behaves at mid month - here we go again.

My honest opinion with no sarcasm intended is that the past several years would have sucked 100 years ago, but the nights have been significatnly warmer than they would have been and the very warmest days are even warmer. I am sure there have also been some marginal events that have been more tedious than they would have a century ago, but I honestly don't believe this would have been a fruitful period for SNE snow enthusiasts at any point in our history. West Pacific forcing has always sucked for this area in that regard since the dawn of time and it always will...there have been prolonged stretchs like this spanning several years in the past....but sure, this "warmest season ever" every other year is definitely CC aided, and mostly while we sleep. It can be argued that the west PAC warm pool that is predisposing us to said Maritime forcing is at least partially attributable to CC and it probably is to a degree, but I have a hard time accepting the fact that mother nature will not find a means to have that phenomenon self-destuct at some point.

So much worry of - NAO . Never seen anything like it. Who cares ? It doesn’t mean cold and wet.. if it even comes to fruition. Case in point.. how’d that modeled cold  and snowy Feb 10 - Morch 10 period work out ?

Yea, the blocking has showed up as advertised this year, though admittedly this last stretch was more muted than originally expected. But the issue plaguing this season is that the cold has loaded on the other side of the globe...and whenever it did make it over here, its residence was brief because there was always a Pacific jet extension ready to flex. These are the issues I need to get a better grasp of.

I feel like the jet extensions maybe tied to the warm pool off of Japan, but I am at a loss for what determines which side of the globe that the cold loads...perhaps its related to the jet extension issue?

Still funny :lol:

Anyway, I don't believe the idiosyncratics of the increasingly more difficult to explain pattern behaviors existed 100 years ago. That's a smoking gun - everything precipitates ( no pun intended ) out of the pattern noise of respective eras.  I don't believe the circulation modes of today would have been observable 100 years ago.  

Different inputs respective of eras makes the comparison ...not as extreme as 'apple to oranges' ... Call it apples to pears.  I mean they are not hugely divergent in a comparison, but the circulation being effected is already papered and peer-reviewed. The business with the HC ... to the mean winter PV of the AO domain ... all these fields are verified as changed(ing).  100 years ago is in an extinction event - tongue in cheek intended...

It's a question that cannot ultimately be resolved here, though ... Because we do not have access to super computers, nor the advanced reanalysis techniques. To mention, the millions of initial condition data points ...  I mean there's a dizzying array of tech and touches combined in preprocessing alone just to initialize any kind of imagined environmental computation - such that could predict 100 years ago vs today with very much confidence.  

All that would be needed ...

Where is the wherewithal, it is happening. There's attribution papers being published.  There is unfortunately, also "attribution" being floated by dubious credibility. And the Industrial Media Complex?  the minute news and information went up for sale some 50 years ago ... humanity was probably doomed - but that's a wild digression.

That is correct to a degree, but in a general sense.....Maritime forcing 100 years ago would have sucked. That is all I mean. Perhaps that forcing regime wouldn't have been so prevalent then due to a less pronounced warm pool, but if it were our winters would suck. One thing if for certain....Maritime forcing existed then..basically all I am saying. But as far as precisely how the hemisphere would have evolved....right; no way of knowing.

Well, it doesn’t look like 70s, but I don’t see it below  normal.

We just saw the scaffolding of the pattern for next week change over the last 30 yours of modeling cycles toward what your suggesting. yeah -

What was once a strong continental front slated to sweep away the mildness early next week, is now looking ( weirdly so...) like a summer front bumping into a WAR resistance and washing out...  I mean it cools off, but there's suggestion now that heights and ridging may attempt to roll right back in toward the end of the week.  Relatively new...

Meanwhile, the EPS/GEPS/GEFs have all brought back the -NAO look, but when they brought it back, it appears to be 2 days later.   

Mm ...wondering if there's going to be some can kicking here.

Hopefully they kick that can to December-

dude, your lawn doesn't like any kind of weather. Your lawn doesn't even like you!
