crazy gradient there...Jesus-looks like an April Back door front, interesting if the gradient can slip south a bit...maybe some chances for mix precip or snow in an awful pattern
my comment was noting that it's been on roids last 2 years, not neccesarily going forward...(but that would not shock me given the dumpster fire we find ourselves in)
weeklies have been iffy past week 3-4, I would not put too much stock in those-remember last year? Horrid beyond a doubt. With that said, if we CAN get the ridge pushed far enough south and there's good cold to the north, could be a nice conveyor belt of storms/battle zone-we just need to be on the right side of it.
What I hope we don't see is a continued push back into 4-5-6 like we saw last year. That Australian hot water doesn't bode well IMO as it doesn't appear to be going anywhere.
Hideous for cold/snow lovers. Only hope is some of the cold in Canada bleeds south and we can get a well timed system. Otherwise, close the shades for a month and maybe more.
reminds me a bit of 01-02 and 11-12-not that we're warm and dry, but those years I looked at the maps and saw what we are seeing today-way too much to fix at least in the short to medium term...
True. The other thing I don't like is the strong PV over the pole. Want to see that weaken or get broken up. I don't see alot to get excited about honestly.
we're 2.5 days out-today's model trends are certainly a big disappointment. If we miss this week and early next week, it's possible we go virtually snowless for Jan unless the very end of January delivers. The 80's are back!
it's amazing how warm water north of a continent thousands of miles away can wreck our winter....oh well, going to enjoy the warmth, if it's not going to snow, give me 60 degrees
