ugh...that nothern vort killing what could have been a nice storm

Ya gotta hope that...we get at least 4 chances in our prime window. That way, if we continue contend with these stupid vorts hopefully one or two of the 4 a northern vort WON'T ruin things. It's like literal dice...do ya roll a vort or no? Lol

Ha, was coming to say the same thing.  We just need the cold press to get going quicker.  That Nrn Vort irritates my life.

They always do (unless it's to phase with a southern vort of course! )

Hey what's the Buffalo precip looking like for Saturday evening? Given it's relevance to many in this forum...lol

Gotta like the chances with the persistence up top, despite the Pac doing its best to eff it all up.

Now if you or @psuhoffmanwouldn't mind, could you explain the concept of the "fast pac", and what we need to, I guess...slow it down? And the blocking regime that looks to continue...how does that interact with the pac to make things more favorable?

Just now, psuhoffman said:

Yes

Now I don't quite understand why, though...what do we need to slow down the flow?

We need the flow to slow down. It’s that simple. It’s shredding everything. All the SWs flying across are ripping each other apart instead of phasing. 

Fast flow...hasn't that been a problem the last few winters? What's causing that? The pac?

Looking ahead with a more canonical Nina look in the pac we don’t want too much cold and suppression. But that -NAO -pna -epo look is intriguing. The level of blocking being shown now would suppress the SE ridge but the -pna would create a SW to NE flow towards us. That’s potentially a fun pattern. 

Please do elaborate on this  

And I'm also wondering about February. Is it already a foregone conclusion that month is a dud? Seems some already wrote it off...but I'm just wondering if there's anything that could help even a little bit.

After we clinched the playoff birth last week there were tears, tonight i'm sitting with my dad in a stunned haze. We cannot believe it. Thank you for all the kind words, its been a long long time 

Congratulations on the win...I cannot imagine the euphoria in Cleveland! After all these years of sports suffering--and staying remarkably loyal as a fanbase despite it all--you guys have earned every bit of this win!

Yup. Pressure is off. We have a have great Defense and best kicker. If we Play KC don't forget mahomes hasn't played in 3 weeks and wasnt paying that great before that. Buffalo is tough but there defense isn't great. Love our chances going forward.

And for KC, there's also this...lol

HECK YEAH!!!!!! At last!!! Monkey...off...the back!!! Now as Ray Lewis would often say...enjoy this for 24 hours, and then onto KC or Buffalo!!

If this 10 day mean January 15-25 can’t produce something...I don’t know what to say

 

I take it we have ample cold air with that?

Too many GL lows on that plot. That’s the issue (right now) as well with the day 9-12 time frame. Lots of northern stream action and lows hanging around the lakes. Does this happen with greater frequency due to the cross polar flow that is being modeled?

Aren't GL lows more prevalent during Nina's due to them being more NS dominant? Or is it something else?

Well, I see the PSU heartbreaker came back this run...lol But ya know what? If some semblance if this happens, the Farmer's Almanac is gonna be right again! It hit the December storm right on the nose (obviously the coldest stuff stayed north though), and Christmas...Now it literally says...
12-15th..."Coastal storm brings heavy snowfall to upstate New York, central/northern New England; wintry mix farther south"...haha

That's not a Miller b or a heartbreak

I thought it looked more like that this run with the ns energy further south

I keep floating the idea of a snow psychology thread...call it group therapy, lol I'll bet if we just let it all out there...and talk about why we feel the way we do about snow...less would leak out in the main thread.

The Panic Room to me feels too permanent with all the reaping...but if we kinda exchanged ideas about our various thinking about snow and such...perhaps that would help.

You waited until last sentence to lose your credibility. 

Yeah I was like...seriously? Lol Gonna get on me, but give him a pass? I guess if that's the standard, if you complain, I guess as long as you post a model map in the same post as said complaint you're contributing and not part of the problem!

No offense intended dude, but this is exactly the type post I'm talking about. It fills the thread with useless fluff. Everyone knows we haven't had much snow the past few years, and everyone who is posting here likely feels the same way about that fact. We don't need to be reminded

I don't make the doom posts much though...this was my first since early last year. I ask more questions than anything else.

Understood and why there is a panic room thread. 

Now see, I don't go in there as much because I'm uncomfortable with the death iconography...(which is why I've never been "reaped")...but even banter is better than in here I suppose.
