Who ever made that proclamation in the first place. 

wtf does the West Pac do that directly does anything 12,000 mi away?   that demonstrates an inherent lack of understanding if that was the rationale.  Definitely high marks for creative thinking though -

Expand  

Forky said it earlier...the West Pac being so warm is what is sending along so many impulses, which presumably is attributable to why the northern stream is so disruptive.

Bluewave said the cutter/slider storm pattern will never change

I know...then after a spell of back and forth he will eventually admit that he is "open to new data". Problem is that he has it backwards....assume it will change and be "open to new data" indicating that it won't after a couple of decades.

Just like the mjo would forever be in the torch phases every winter

Well ... that can be true in the sense of 'contributory' but that's one component in a giant of machinery of forcing-sources.

I guess I wasn't part of that conversation  :blink:       What you just said and how you said it, doesn't sound preclusive tho

My interpretation is that its just made that N Jet so active that it impedes proficient phasing, but if I'm wrong...he can chime in.

@AllsnowI like your stance on his...you buy a lot of it, but just don't take the leap that its permanent...more conservative approach. That is my position.

It will snow and be cold again…

 

Philly has had longer snow droughts before. 
 

The talk before this winter was how we will never see sustained cold again in the winter. We completely shattered that narrative this season.

 

also the southeast ridge connecting to the block

Only cold by modern standards, but yea.....

Chris glossed over that point by saying it was the expected deviation from MC forcing....I also predicted one this season, as well....but it wasn't a deviation, it was a departure. It wasn't a month or 6 weeks....it was just about all of the season.

If you look back throughout peak of post Pacific cold phases....there have been similar stretches. 1950s had a spell like that. 

Expand  

We've had some good coastals before this season, but up until this year we have seen a lack of cold. This year was another way of porking. 79-80 like.

Its been a little of everything....CC has definietely played a role..there have been some marginal events in which we may have fared better 20 years ago, or maybe some near phases that would have phased better back when with less compression. But its also been to a larger degree just some poor multidecadal signals combining with buzzard's luck....that's called regression from the insane 2010's.

Went from pulling 12"+ events in warm winters, to struggling to pul advisory events out from attenuating S/W's bouncing NW of us in the coldest winter in 10 years.

Yea, that has always happened and always will. That said, CC certainly isn't making it easier to avoid.

next shot at something more substantial is probably the 9-10th as the cutter drops the TPV down and a wave tries to amp into the colder airmass with the transient PNA spike. after that, it's likely curtains outside of NNE with some warm weather on the way

Patterns flips quicker than a burger at Coney Island for Anthony.

Don't forget the permanent forcing in phases four five and six which did not happen this year either.

I think we went like 4+ seasons without a benchmark track 1988-89 through 1991-92.  :lol:

Couldn’t freaking buy a storm those years.

Yea, its goes in a cycles. Of course for a while last decade, every sea gull queef got funneled over the BM.
