This is what I am doing for the most part, but given this is the December thread and it is in sight on the LR now, worth a peak- especially given what the seasonal models are advertising.
From what I have seen(and I don't go out of my way to read any of these dudes on twitter) he never wastes any time when it comes to sounding the bells for a "bad" pattern.
Given what the seasonal guidance has been depicting, the longer we see good looks in the AO/NAO domain on the LR guidance, the better. As most of us know, having a predominant a -AO is number one on the list for cold and snow chances in the DC area.
Yeah. No idea what all the fuss is about. Who knows if it's correct, but what has caught my eye on recent GEFS runs is the good look up top rolling into December.
Yeah it changed quite a bit from 12z yesterday to 0z, then 6z went all in on a west based block. The big EPO ridge idea is more modest now too. Gotta like that look in the AO/NAO space towards the end though.
I concur. But other than the last batch of leaves, I may be done my outdoor projects by then. Been outside most of the weekend in this raw cold and wind.
He totally does. I am sure he is a smart dude, but 'hidden' in many of his technical posts you can tell he is a bit of a frustrated snow weenie from the south.
The 7-10 day thing is just my general monitoring window this winter. As I have said probably too many times now, not a fan of the weeklies etc. If I discuss them it's either a subtle troll post, or something like the other night when I posted a couple panels because Bob requested them.
It is what it is. I am not going to engage in hand wringing over LR stuff. We will see how things evolve over the next 10 days, then go from there. For now, I don't see any major red flags.
I am pretty much sticking to monitoring the 7-10 day period on the ensembles. It was just a mention based on you kinda going there in your post. We, nor the guidance, just can't know what's going to happen 15 days from now.
At the end of the 0z EPS run, the look is a bit
Lots of blues up top. Who knows how the pattern will roll going forward. A bit of a reshuffle/mild period would not be unexpected or overly concerning. Hopefully it's not a move towards what the weeklies/climate models have been advertising.
