EPS was a disaster with the pig in Alaska starting to show at the tail end.. Amazing flip-flopping on 00z and 12z .. Wake up to same old December from 00z , then all weenies rejoice at 12z for several days now.. Although all guidance does agree on a Nation wide torch after Christmas Day and some cold leading up to Christmas. Non-Scientific opinion is the general 00z theme will end up winning out and we wait til well after New Years...

End of EPS was garbage too at 12z. Might be time to take a break and enjoy the holidays before I burn all decorations.

Being right never felt so wrong. 

Yup....hope we didn't have our winter like week last week with absolutely nothing until spring. That would definitely suck. But these 1-2 week winters are getting old now, this is what I had come to know living in Delaware, not SNE...Warm/wet, cold/dry continues for the foreseable future it seems

Kids will be asking why are there so many songs about snow on Christmas?  What is a white Christmas?  

Why is Santa in a sleigh and not a wagon or E-Scooter? What are snowmen? Darn shame but at least we got to experience the magic years ago when times were good.

Don’t lose hope. Apparently January looks good at h5.

May have to watch for a burst of snow on Monday with that lead shortwave. Still enough antecedent cold around on a lot of these solutions. 

Ya RGEM is coldest - most guidance is CNE north, lets see if we can get some colder further south solutions to include more of us..

Been assessing that this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if we see another scenario, particularly in the valleys where it takes an awful long time to mix out. Hell, there even seems to be enough to keep some colder air wedged in even at 925. Some pretty strong WAA going on too so I wouldn't be surprised if the degree of QPF is a bit underdone too.

it's too bad folks don't channel a mental space where they see realistically plausible corrections.

some can rely upon that visualization space, one that is constructed out of what can happen and what needs to happen to get it done ...  it's like an "effective imagination,"  not just imagining and waiting.    

it seems like people have to actually see the object on the daily modeling cinema.   it's not always the case ... some of the times there's stuff going on that is - I guess ... - just outside of capacitance to sense or detect it for those. and so this mood thing gets entirely controlled by the unknowable. 

man, that's a weird hell.

If the trend holds it should revert back to at least half good vibes after the 12z weenie runs.. 

I’m not even that worried about the few days after Xmas…if it ends up milder, so be it but there’s strong evidence the Aleutian low retrogrades southwest so we’d see a rebuilding of the western ridge beyond that. I’m also a little skeptical at the degree of breakdown in the first place. Guidance has been underestimating the amplitude of the ridge when we have an Aleutian low so far this month. Been a lot of volatility in the extended range these last two weeks. 
 

That’s one reason I’d also pump the brakes on the pre-Xmas storm analysis. Prob gonna see more changes on that as guidance tries to figure out the ridge amplitude and shortwaves.

No doubt, all we know is that a storm (potentially significant) is likely, where, when, magnitude, and ptypes, we have a long ways to go.

We need results. It’s a make or break season for many especially delicate souls like Scooter where little kids Christmas’s are in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see that so all the pretty Brooklyn h5 maps won’t cut it.

Comparing model runs beyond 180 hours and coming to the conclusion that the models "lost" the storm because 0z had a storm coming up the coast while 6z is 300 miles offshore is a head scratcher. I also don't understand how the OP can be defined as "bad" just because the SLP maps don't show something. But I think people know that and well...this is a good place to vent frustrations :lol: But when that bleeds into interrupting good discussion then it gets old.

Would like to continue seeing this as we get to our climatological peak period. Get this pattern to remain and we we continue to see wavelengths change in response to the season...sometimes that can be all the difference.

The problem that continues to pop up is when the ridge builds out west and we get an EC trough, I see maritime ridging that sends any shortwave inland…and when there is less ridging over the maritimes, it’s cold and dry.

It's definitely a concern, no doubt. But we have to start somewhere. When you're in such a rut like we're in, often things have to do perfectly....that philosophy even extends outside of weather. Look at sports, when teams are rolling sometimes it seems no matter what they do it works out beautifully but when you're in a rut...nothing can seem to go right.

oh i've mused a few times over the years how this social media depot is an open support group for those with weather modeling 'blue light' addiction issues
