Yea, that is why I may need to adjust...I really missed that in my first eval. May need to reconsider on Tuesday. What you said about cold exertion offsetting advection really clarified what you mean...my reluctance is that is normally more applicable to the low levels. Maybe across the full profile here...we'll see.
It really wasn't knock. When I am on the run and looking for an honest assessment, you are one of the posters I look to read for a "no shit" eval.
But its not only in shit winters....you even doing in the lead up to impending blizzards. You remind me of messenger in that you are always looking for how the other shoe may drop via subtle trends.
Hope you're right...at this juncture, I would rather need to adjust colder, than warmer...that's why I was tame on first call....especially given the mood in the room lol
I'm not sure how any times can say no changes are expected in the Pacific. Pretty sure I just said yesterday that winter is over if the arctic fails to deliver.
Bottom line....don't go through the next 2-3 weeks with the persistence blinders on because there is explosive potential....the atmosphere doesn't give a flying fuc* how much snow did or did not fall in YBY over the past 2 months.
As far as 2/28, what needs to happen is that energy in the SW needs to kick out a bit more slowly, as that allows for more residual ridging from the Rockies into the nation's mid section. EURO and GEM are very close...06z GFS trended the other way.
