Somebody start a thread. Title it “Worse pattern since 1990 snow event”
-
C’mon Bob. Middle of the day, temps mid 30’s, low to our west. What could possibly go wrong? This is a lock.
-
Long range gfs isn’t far off from a much better pac. At least the trend at the end seems to suggest it. And those above normal heights in our area aren’t all that high as evidenced by the temperature profile.
-
LOL, I thought it looked better than 12z, at least on a hemispheric scale.
-
I counted jan 2019....the rest are out of season and I dont remember dec 2017 I don’t remember any snow in December 2017 other than a 1-1.5” little system on Dec 30
-
If only the ICON was worth anything. Tuesday has about the same chance as my Vikes . Awful timing on it though. But hey, we are talking chances so I think we are light years ahead of just a couple of days ago.
-
That isn’t far from looking really good. Keep that southern stream bringing chances across and a continent wide pool of cold air. This is my memory of 96. Memories can be tricky but mine has it that that year was many times coast to coast cold with frequent storms sliding across.

If you live west of DC I’d say you can stop even thinking about anything this weekend.
-
What is an NAM?
-
If we get a -epo and a +pna we will get some decent winter events. I have no doubt about that
-
@Bob Chill, @psuhoffman, @C.A.P.E. do any of you see the possibility of this pattern actually retrograding as opposed to progressing? Seems that a small few hundred mile retrogression of that central pac ridge would put us in a decent place in the pac side of things
-
No. This is the next step .....
-
GFS looks good .... if you want to party like it’s 1990.
-
Clippers are a myth, right along side anafrontal snow.
-
CPC analogs to the current patterns include dates in Dec 95 and early Jan 87. Both of those years had major winter weather right at 21 days later.
-
That phase diagram had it looping much sooner than that at this time about 8 days ago. My guess is that it will be back to 7 quickly.
-
Good stuff
-
There was a period, and I forget when, when they showed a pattern that everyone was drooling over that didn’t materialize at all. The warm period you highlighted verified very well but I’m gonna need to see verification over a long period before I’m gonna say any forecast at 15 days is reliable.
-
Right now that ridge looks persistent but I’m gonna hope that persistence can only last song long in weather.
-
That’s good because through day 10 the gfs members don’t look too good to me.
-
Haha yeah. I’d punt 10 straight winters to see a March 93 happen in January. But I agree. Probably a 500 year storm.
-
It’ll happen again. Just gotta live long enough.
-
I was going to post this afternoon that I think we get a warning level winter event before the 10th. Nothing scientific at all, just a hunch. Whether it’s snow or a mixed bag, no idea. I think my rationale is the cold intrusion being shown late in the model runs.
-
I remember waiting until about 2 pm to watch the weather channel extended outlook. They updated that every day about that time. I would hope to see that cold air move East and it would always be stuck in time out there. It was very frustrating.
-
Remember that anomalous ridge north of Alaska a while back? It’s interesting to me that as soon as that area froze up the ridge was replaced with an anomalous area of low heights. I don’t understand any correlation and it could be coincidental but it is interesting nonetheless
