It has been a week or two of Sunday's since anyone posted good news from the EC.

MU Weather Center

I’ve seen a lot of unwarranted “hype” about this brief cold snap foreshadowing a long, snowy winter. There’s little evidence to support that. Instead, the -PDO, strong #PolarVortex & MJO activity in the “warm phases” all support my idea of a mild winter, & that’s still on track.

Someone needs to send him a box of Roses Ensembles to cheer him up.

When is the next shot of accumulating snow around the LSV, next year? LOL.

We have a chance of maybe a car topper or coating tomorrow night into Thursday with the Clipper.

Unfortunately the good pattern look for most of next week has deteriorated. The pattern gets more active, but the cold relaxes as the ridge pushes east.

The GFS on a few recent runs is showing the cold push back east by the end of next week with multiple waves running along the boundary. It’s something to keep an eye on.

PS in an interesting position at #5.   They can get a bye if they win this weekend but also have a slight risk of losing out all together if Oregon hands a 30 point loss on them. 

 

 

Notre Dame is locked in at 5. The committee just hasn't put them there yet.

PSU is in even if they get blown out by Oregon. But LOL at Alabama being a lock like they are. Every year, criteria changes to get them in whatever.

I have read they can still drop out.  If Clemson wins, committee could keep Clemson and smu.   When I say blown out I am talking 54-7, 49-14.  Should they drop out?  No, but do not get blown out to tempt fate.  Psu needs to show well to keep their home game as well, imo.

Agree with all of this. PSU is vulnerable with a bad loss.

Can some one explain too me how 2 days ago we go from cold/dry to maybe a snow storm over the next 7 days. A coastal low/slider just to the south then the next operational run we have a lake cutter and rain all the way to upstate ny and temps in the 50s and after the even 40s when before it was the mid 30s? what key information did the new model run see that had the storm jump thousands of miles back to the west into the lakes?
