A real concern that can not be under estimated is the lack of precip. The MA is dry. Drought conditions will be severe going into the Spring and Summer.

it might be dry through october but we can get 20" in one day and things will be OK.

What about the arctic outbreak/torch? Seems like uber-cold or uber-warmth is occuring on every other run.

The GFS and Euro ensembles have been pretty consistent in keeping most of the East below normal... but not drastically below normal (in the 11-15 day anyway). Heck, even the Canadian ensemble just came in with normal/below! Though I'm sure that will change :P Silly warm bias.

euro not nearly as cold here at the end of the run as 0z.. cold stays bottled up north of the lakes, perhaps coming in after the clipper modeled?

The only thing that will end up being very different from the typical Nina will be temps. Unless Feb/Mar torches we will have crushed climo temp wise. Precip, sadly, is right on course. :arrowhead:

Looks like those late 1800-early 1900's Nina's. Something that Michigan snowfreak(I think) dude harped on as a possibility. Whether just luck , insight or both,.. kudos to him.

Yeah, just took a look at the 12z GFS ensemble mean. Definitely looks solidly cold through the entire period (except for the rain storm of course). A few mornings look like sub -10C territory out in fantasy land. Otherwise kind of steadily 5F below normal or so.

Ok, here's my take.

One, its pretty reasonable for all of us to be slightly pessimistic at this point. Only natural after what has gone down so far.

Two, if ensemble ind. members are discarded as "not possible", then why are they run? If there's value in running them, then their solutions must be "possible" even if not likely. To that end, some of the GFS, in fact a decent few, ensemble members from 18z have at the very least an interesting solution for our neck of the woods in the 96 to 108, 114 hour time frame. We could look at that in an optimistic way.

Three, where is all this warmth going to come from? We have snow cover to our west and south. I guess the only place would be the Atlantic?

Four, do weather models "see" low level cold very well. Do they factor in snow cover and frozen earth? If not, its possible it will be colder at the surface than it looks at this point.

Five, as we have seen with solutions that we liked that end up disappointing us, is it not possible, and after a while, even likely, that sooner or later a 5 day forecast will change (they always do) for our benefit.

Oh, well, that's my thoughts. I'm not giving up. I'm not getting excited, but I'm going to keep watching
