  1. Archambault Theory ftw ! Happy Thanksgiving Brother !
  2. Yeah it was here too. The Valentines day Storm was 6-9" in Valley locations here . A Miller A. Several 2-4 inch deals in January, mainly Clippers as I recall.
  3. Yeah, makes sense. That's probably what it's reacting to.
  4. Yeah, Arctic air being shown draining farther west in Canada and Northern Rockies. Need a strong HP drop down in conjunction with a strong system to pull it SE. Some Models also showing Aleutian ridging by day 10 and trough moving westward. That's a Nina signature. Aleutian Ridge. Hopefully it winds up further east into Alaska. We need upstream blocking to establish and counter . JB used to say, without a block colds not a lock.
  5. Back in earlier forecasting years that was one of the Teleconnections we used. Worked quite well.
  6. It's 18z but, shows that possibility on the Table now. Not surprised really. That solution is clearly viable. Let's see how the other's and it do the next couple days before presuming we're headed that way though.
  7. It was. We had a record snowy February in 2015. I recorded about 34 inches in Jonesville. Northern section's of Lee County over 50" !
  8. I'd forgot about what year that happened in Atlanta but, yeah that was one heck of a cold January ! Feb 2015 had the big +TNH Pattern as well and was historic here snowfall and cold wise.
  9. Exactly. That's what I had read up on too. Interesting. So, if Webb's right about the ABNA and the greater likelihood of a + TNH Lanina could work out fine for us.
  10. Map looks to be showing hidson bay to Greenland blocking signature. Has Lp look near 50-50. That would probably need adjusted West of there if the SST'S are same then as now. Looks like an Aleutian Ridge. That may be or be further East. Should oscillate during Winter imo. due to the +QBO and ABNA if it manifests through the Winter at times.
  11. If the " cold" pattern we're going into lessens in severity or longevity, that will be crucial in determining what kind of Winter ensues i.m.o.. Also, it is possible even if it lasts until late Month ala,1989. If I remember correctly, blocking broke down then and allowed the Western Ridge to suddenly come East. That MJO Plot is still worrisome as it usally Trump's other Drivers if they're not very prominent or if the MJO Wave itself is very weak low Amp.. As rehashed in earlier post, hopefully Webb is onto something and it plays out if you want at least an average Winter overal imo.
  12. Check out Eric Webbs Write-up regarding how that might not work out like usual on X. The +TNH Pattern. The ABNA Connection. I'm not sold on it totally changing the MJO effects but, his research shows possibility.
  13. Notice I said at time's. Also, the possibility of continual LP formation or strengthening off the NE and SE Provinces can act as a blocking mechanism and alter that eastward Ridge progression. That was one aspect of Feb 2015 . Continual LP development that worked in conjunction with the postive NAO in pulling Arctic air from the Arctic South into the Eastern States. Sort of opposite of the weird SER/-NAO Linkage.
  14. Agree. On either pattern, whether the mild most of us were basically sold on or the possible one upcoming.
  15. An excerpt from Webb on X : While there are many reasons this winter is starting out so cold in the Eastern US this year… Imo, the -EPO/+TNH pattern in early Dec is largely being driven by low frequency variability (not the MJO) from the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool. Namely, the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool is rectifying long-term observed changes since the early-mid 20th century that conflict with most climate model forecasts: the Indian & West Pacific oceans warming at a faster rate than the East-Central Pacific (in part as a response to AGW), which changes the downstream waveguide over the N Pacific & N America to resemble the +TNH pattern.
  16. The Snow mizers looking at that blob in the Atlantic, lol
  17. Good memories. My Uncle lived in NW Ohio during '78 Blizzard and said drifts were up to their 2 Story Windows. There's several great Articles with Pics , Videos and Interviews regarding it.
  18. Yeah, unfortunately not. Man how I miss the good ole days !
  19. If blocking manifests the 2nd half of December it could help mitigate the effects of Trough westward retrogression being shown late Month. The SST'S just south of Newfoundland and around Nova Scotia is supportive of LP in that area. That could help pull the Urals HP on Southwestward and pop a legit -NAO. Just my rusty, relic has been opinion.
  20. Here's an excerpt from Archives of the '49 One's : The Blizzard of 1949 is considered one of the worst on record for the northern Plains. The first storm began January 2 and continued through January 5, with heavy snow, strong winds and cold temperatures. Subsequent storms through mid-February produced enormous snow drifts that paralyzed much of the region.
  21. Yeah, that's right. It's listed in the NOAA Archives.The 40's featured a big one as well.
