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.

Can we seriously stop with the "doom-posting"? I've been on here for 10 years now at varying capacities and it's the worst it's ever been. It's becoming unbearable. I'm not going to point fingers, but there's a solid crew accumulating here that really don't contribute anything to the conversation at all. Worse, y'all seem to just spew the first thought that comes into your head. A thought that has likely been stated multiple times the same week/day/hour. It feels like I read the exact same post from the exact same set of "doomers" every day on a different page. It's like a 10:1 ratio of garbage to actual discussion sometimes and is likely a large part of the reason some of our most experienced forum members have been leaving the past few years.

Give it a rest. If you don't have anything to say other than "oh no, what will we do if we don't score this month?!?", then please just keep it to yourself. 

I'm not even pointing at posters like Ji... he contributes, even if it comes with a bunch of attitude.

Hi, new doom poster here  (although today was my only day, I've been optimistic until now) Get some snow in here and it'll get better...lol I blame the 5 year warning snow drought many of us have been in. Of the last 10 years, I think the last four or five have been kinda brutal...probably accumulated frustration.

That being said...I hear ya. I learn a lot from the knowledgeable posters here, and I'm sorry some have left...we all gotta be better. It's just something about snow psychology...it's an emotional thing or something...

Dang man...I didn't realize February could go to crap...now I'm a bit nervous. It is never comfortable to just have one window. Too much can go wrong, and you have to pin your winter hopes on one or two chances. See I was hoping we were gonna finally hang on to the -AO/NAO regime and have windows into mid-February. But now I read Isotherms outlook and he says it might break down and go positive in February? Hope he's wrong...now if we can cash in second half of January...that'll be fine 

Dang it, man... @psuhoffman so you mean to tell me had that stupid pac warmth in November hadn't happened, we'd already have more snow? Smh I hope that doesn't screw us over...not when we finally got the elusive winter -ao/nao. We don't know when we'll see this in winter again...I hope we can take advantage of it somehow.

Don't worry about February . We can't even get next week's stuff nailed down lol.

Well I mean...that SER flexing in February idea is a bit scary...and I know Isotherm is usually pretty good, right? I just don't want a scenario where we don't see a flake for two separate reasons (first not enough cold and then too much) and have that happen in February. Wouldn't that be game over?

GEFS LR is cold asf...but also bone dry. Towards the end you can see the trof burying itself in the west. If Tom's (isotherm) outlook is true, the SER is going to flex in response and we can kiss Feb goodbye....and honestly you get that uneasy "yeah looks like isotherm will be right again" feeling when u loop the GEFS. 

At least we get the EPO tho right? 

Oh dang really? So that would mean we'd HAVE to score by the end of January. I mean we still have time, but I'm wondering how long that cold dry will last. But we have to get the cold in here, though...so we may have to deal with that just to build up the cold we need...because if we don't, we won't get anywhere with our current airmass either, right? I guess it's a matter of hoping we get the cold that has the side effect of being dry...but that it doesn't last so long that we lose the month.

if that map was current, do you think there would of been only 20 posts since last night. C'mon man!

True, lol
