  1. I think “kicker” is an unfortunate misnomer for the thing being talked about. It’s not so much “kicking” the wave east as it is lowering heights behind the wave that prevents it from digging further south and going negative tilt at the right time for us. I think that’s what is meant.
  2. 0.83 so far and still raining. Should hit 1”
  3. Looking ahead to jan 25+, eps moved to gefs in a big way. Ridging building to the west coast instead of digging a trough there. Makes the Jan 22-25 SE ridge very temporary (few days) before we reload. Hope that holds and think it will since mjo is progged to make a strong incursion into 7 then maybe 8
  4. Both euro and cmc shifted towards gfs this run. Let’s keep this going.
  5. Better to get a clean consensus at 48 hr than 120
  6. At least its a step in the right direction from anything other than gfs
  7. Cmc not gonna do it. H5 vort too forward and pos tilted compared to gfs (tho better than 0z)
  8. Agreed. This isn’t the first time gfs showed an exciting run only to have gotten no consensus from other models. Lets see this time. Takeaway is that there IS a high-end possibility from this.
  9. Yeah, aside from no blocking, this isn’t a SS wave models can see coming half a globe away. It’s more of a NS wave digging far enough south to *maybe* give us something
  10. It is doing exactly what we need it to do - go neg tilt right on top of us.
  11. If correct, things might throw a wrench into a canonical nina Feb and we get yet another chance then.
  12. Yep i think bluewave posted that in the main enso thread. Usually it was biased the other way, and this year has been different
  13. You mean when DCA almost reached 80 degrees in Jan? I seriously doubt it happens this time. Feburary, maybe.
  14. Looking ahead through end of Jan, all ensembles bring a southern/SE ridge after jan 22… but gefs/geps retrogrades the ridge west toward the end of their runs. If they’re correct, that thaw will only last a few days before it gets colder again. Euro wants to keep the SE ridge all the way through, but with mjo going into 7 I think its wrong and will catch up to gefs/geps.
  15. Been quiet here not because I’m not excited about the threats, just been busy with family and work. I think this is one of those things where we won’t know what will happen until 48 hours or less till onset.
  16. Yeah it wasn’t looking that good yesterday and the day before, but good trends today.
  17. It better be the 86-87, 02-03, 09-10 flavor not 72-73
  18. That 12z GFS run gives me goosebumps. Like Heisy said, it's so close.
  19. Yeah I think we all know there's a reason these KUs happen once or twice every 10 years... or even longer.
  20. Today's euro weeklies don't look torchy in Feb here, fwiw
  21. Well I hope I’m wrong about a torch Feb. That was my thinking all along and it hasn’t really changed
  22. SPV looks like it will tighten up at the end of the month or early Feb. That means we really need to score in the last 2 weeks of Jan to get anywhere near climo. My snowfall contest prediction is only about 50-60% of climo, and even that is iffy. Should reach that with the shots the models are taking at us, but climo? We need a big one to get there.
