850 and 2M temps were ugly on EPS. That EPO looks great but all the cold dumps into the West and we have a huge SE ridge. That's a big flip from last week.
I know that if my Aunt had balls she would be my uncle. I cant call this a trend. It is yet another solution. I mean many EPS members had a similar scraper solution and some big had hits.
When you trade great winter storms for forecast verification, what the point? I would rather horribly bust in favor of a big winter storm, it's not like you do it for a living.
I would say that the week from the 3rd to the 9th is when we would have the best chance and hope that SE ridge,negative PNA is transient after. Teleconnections are not that encouraging
Disagree . That period between Nov 8th and Dec 8th had a lot of similarities, no 2 analogs being exact but hemispherical close enough. Judging by 2 m temp similarity not as cold but analogs are based on upper air
