You would think with a record breaking NAO we would be at least a little chilly. We learned a lot this year, Pacific controls the cold. Which honestly makes a lot of sense. Our source of cold air is Canada, Canadas source of cold air comes from the Pacific with a west to east flow. The Atlantic matters more for Europe then it does for us. Atlantic blocking only really matters for New England/Mid Atlantic snowstorms. That is why -NAO is talked about so much in these forums.

Get used to it. The type of pattern coming up they will cash in quite a bit.

Boston with big hit on 12z GFS

You need one of those Tug.

Why? The vaccine protects against the new strain too.

Lots of rain last night

We will definitely be resting our starters, but Dolphins are pretty bad we will steal beat you guys.

That politician who died at 41, people say he died from a heart attack. Isn't one of the side effects of Covid heart issues? We saw that with the Jaguars RB and a few other athletes.

I'm not sure if it even looks good down there without any elevation. Obviously its prime climo so there definitely is a chance. But the airmass sucks. Just no cold air source. I mean how is this a good pattern for us? Especially for those who like snow cover. For me I want cold to get some good LES.

I'm really worried about Beasleys impact on our short passing game. He is Allens safety blanket.

I don't know I watched a bunch of teams gash us this year. Obviously having Milano back is HUGE. . We are ranked 20th against the run overall out of 32 teams. Without Milano were bottom 5. https://www.footballdb.com/stats/teamstat.html?lg=NFL&yr=2020&type=reg&cat=R&group=D&conf=

Our rushing defense is so poor, Henry might get 300 yards.

Yeah with no real source of cold air, temps are very marginal for anything good across lower elevations/lake plains. However, strong low pressure systems can generate there own cold air, but that's not something you ideally want to rely on.

Pretty active pattern setting up on GFS, just wish there was some cold air. We should be able to get some system generated cold on backside on a few of these.

lol those ratios at 33 degrees, common wolf.

3717 deaths and 3880 deaths the last 2 days.

This has been a very good year for weird places to get lots of snow. NWS text from Fort Stockton, TX: Tonight Snow. Low around 26. North wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible. Thursday Snow, mainly before noon. High near 36. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Fort Stockton, TX averages 1" of snow per year.

Sunday-Monday event has a chance.

From @OHweather The very strong positive East Asian Mountain Torque (the very strong high pressure over eastern Asia) which is causing our strong Pacific jet stream and flood of mild air, but is also contributing to the developing strat warming event, is hinted to begin weakening in the the 7-10 day: This causes the trough to begin retrograding across the northern Pacific as the Pacific jet begins to pull back a bit. As a result, both the GEFS and EPS begin raising heights in the 10-15 day range on the West Coast of the US and Canada: With an active sub-tropical jet and developing split flow over the western U.S., along with a persistent, west-based -NAO, this would begin increasing the risk for winter storms across the eastern and central U.S. around or just after January 10th. It would not immediately be a very cold pattern, but it could be a snowy one for some areas. The EPS continues to retrograde the trough into northeast Asia in the 10-15 day range while the Pacific jet continues pulling back. I'm not sure this lasts long, but could give a window for ridging into Alaska after mid-month. With a split flow over the western US and continued -NAO, a window of ridging over Alaska could both introduce colder air, but also lead to a quite active pattern for the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes into the Northeast beginning around or just after the middle of January. This is still a long way's out, but signs point to a better Pacific pattern soon. Given the -NAO in place slowing down any storms over the eastern 2/3rds of the CONUS, all we need is a somewhat cooperative Pacific to have some fun.

Bad news that Beasley is likely hurt for awhile. He wanted 1k yards in that 4th quarter.

Should be at least 25k but we will take what we can get. It's outside and fits 72k fans

The 3rd/4th storm has more potential than this next one.

The storm around the 3rd on the Para vs regular GFS

Not sure if anyone saw this but HOLY! We know where all the cold air is! https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/12/29/mongolia-air-pressure-record/

Mid month improving
