Ha yeah. I would much rather be on the coast than land locked any day (that's why highest property values are on the coast). To each their own I guess!
Would be ironic if we finally get great blocking AND a sswe and we rain. I think with that look though we can snow with a good track. We lose CAD swfe ability but gain KU potential.
If it's not gonna snow let's mild up!
I know it was an el nino, but I think 97 98 was a winter with great blocking but over ruled by a warm country wide air mass.
Honestly hoping against 3rd straight below average snowfall winter.
Pacific is the cold water faucet. Atlantic is the drain. We need some cold running from the Pacific to get caught in the slow drain of the Atlantic. Unfortunately the slow Atlantic drain is draining warm water
Out in la la land in GEFS (don't have EPS access) I would think a cutter would be difficult in the below pattern. Temps are not great obviously but storm track I would imagine would be ok. GEPS looks almost identical. Still looks better than last year.
On the ensembles the Jan 2 through 6 window still looks OK. If we can score a good event in Feb. 2018 in an absolute furnace perhaps we can score something in this window. Make the most of our opportunities like the big event we just had in December.
Stole from MA thread.

I hope so. However it's muddled where NAO and AO look good but the Pacific looks not so hot. I guess the best time for a storm threat with pac. air would be Jan.
