Pattern definitely supported a threat but the indices don't mean as much as they used to. The northern stream is the killer and it has been for years now. A strongly negative -AO and MJO phase 8 would've guaranteed a storm in the past. However I'm tired of all the hype and pretty maps everyone posts. Anyone can hype up a day 10 threat, but where's the results. Stick with 3 days or less and you won't be disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 On 2/16/2025 at 8:19 PM, LibertyBell said: and with the current storm we are seeing the -5 AO cause a cutter Expand This is the block right now see how far north and east it is. If this were further west and further south we would have had snow. This will be the block Thursday. See how far south it is and how strong it is. If this were a little weaker or a little further north we would have had snow. You could see the kicker storm on this depiction too. So yes it's too strong and negative 5 and too far south. Weaker or little North with this strength and we would have snowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"JB's predictions for snow were typically 25% higher than average, but this was found to be due to PEDs." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
