January Medium/Long Range: A snowy January ahead?

Nice dump of cold air. Legit cross polar flow at the end of the run.

0Z GEFS and GEPS both show an eastern conus trough at the end.  I didn't like the look on the 0Z Euro at 384 but maybe it was just reloading?

 

Edit: not sure what I was looking at but the 0Z EPS look snot bad at 360...

I'm more here to learn than anything else, and I know there was some talk not too long ago that the pattern coming up around the second week of January could be one of those "too cold to snow" setups, and to my untrained eye, I feel like we've lost that look. Like, it'll still be plenty cold next in the weeks ahead, but all those drastically cold temperature outputs that were being shown have kind of backed off, no?

looks like a reload in 2 weeks

Bamm Wx says reload. Webb says warmth is on the way end of the month in the East. 

Meanwhile over in the NY forum bluewave is talking about why we are not getting typical SECS and MECS.

It keeps teasing that, but then it still gets stuck in the southwest

It really wouldn't take all that much for at least a partial phase. Ops can't resolve NS stuff at these ranges well if at all. It's too quick and volatile. Coin flip until it isn't lol. 

Either way, I really doubt this blocking cycle goes away until sometime in Feb. Even then it could reload. History of AO/NAO cycles of this magnitude is solid. Few if any break down and flip inside of 6 weeks. Some wax and wane for 3 months. We're kinda due for a big blocking cycle. Maybe it's the beginning if a longer term cycle. Kinda due for that too....

So basically the opposite of last year's predicted "blocking"? Awesome :D

This doesn’t really have big dog potential because there’s not a lot of room with the shortwave behind it crashing over the ridge, could be a classic 2-5” type event if enough energy phases

It doesn't have big dog potential at all, or just the way its being depicted on the models right now?

It’s because of the spacing of the pattern, but it certainly has potential to be a nice event for mid Atlantic and southeast. It’s a tentative situation it all matters how far E that cutoff pushes. 00z gfs we’d all sign on the dotted line I think, snow on snow

Several inches on top of whatever falls on Monday would be tremendous especially after years of futility we've endured. It's always great to be tracking the next event before the first one is done. There probably is a limit on how big this one can get but who cares. Looks like another cold storm too. We need to capitalize on this pattern.
