Eskimo Joe Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 Giving this until Jan 10th. If we don't have the pattern change ongoing or a workable threat under 120 hrs by then, it's probably another dead ratter winter inbound for us. 1 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted December 17 Author Share Posted December 17 Judging from the 500mb vort, the gfs and icon aren’t that far off from each other. Icon is more negatively tilted and I think that’s what we need here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 WB 0Z EURO: 7am, 1pm and 7pm temps Christmas Day... not a torch... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 The shortwave energy is sharper and goes more neutral over the last few runs of the GFS. The surface reflection from the weak clipper is also a bit stronger so maybe between it and the developing offshore low we get a bit of moisture transport.

WxUSAF Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 Dang. Only icon gets it done, but overnight runs were a lot closer. On a different note, big disparity for post-Xmas torch potential. Euro/EPS seem to keep us wedged, so temps are AN but nothing I’d call a torch. Gfs suite doesn’t do that so we’d be popping some of those ridiculous +20F days potentially.

Surface temps aside, that height pattern in Canada that all ens are showing down the line is prob a shutout pattern. At least for me down here. The quicker we see the other side of that come into focus the better. On another note, I'll be in Bethesda for Xmas. Not all that jazzzed about returning to the fray but at least I know the local customs and my way around lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last game I went to was in a Corp box. I think Amgen. Some guy got 4 tickets for free at work and didn't want to pay taxes on the gift so he sold them for $300. There was a fully stocked bar/kitchen lol. Corp execs did show up but they didn't give a crap about why we were there. It was a blast. Never forget it. Wiz beat Brooklyn to cap it off lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best case scenario is when the pac jet starts to retract we get enough cross polar flow to replenish our cold source quickly. Worst case would be we don’t and we waste 1-2 weeks of a better long wave pattern with unworkable temps then by the time it’s getting cold enough the pattern is breaking down. We’ve seen that story a few times lately also. The winter might break based on that variable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGEM showed this last night. But otherwise, we’re shitting the blinds until first weekend in January I think. And agree with @psuhoffman that winter probably turns based on how much we cash in during January. I hold little hope for February and March this year given cool ENSO climo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd disregard, but he's been killing it for the last 8 years apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian is quickest in getting some colder air eastward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 12z ICON holds steady, if not a little improved, for snow Friday. Temp issues in the beltway, though. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted December 17 Author Share Posted December 17 Ensembles this morning start to cool Canada down around Jan 1-2, so I’m thinking we start to see colder air build back in around Jan 3-5 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
