Eskimo Joe Posted yesterday at 01:22 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:22 AM 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 yesterday at 04:15 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:15 AM 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...

CAPE Posted yesterday at 10:29 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:29 AM 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 yesterday at 11:00 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:00 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

The last minute ticket game is fun. 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...

FWIW raindance thinks Jan will be warm and Feb cold for us. 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...

Yeah all the ensembles depict the same general pattern evolution. Canadian is quickest in getting some colder air eastward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:24 PM 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 yesterday at 04:15 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 04:15 PM 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...
