Well I haven't seen anyone with credibility, cancelling January.

To be fair, it looked better a week ago.

Yes, and I always admit that. But my job is to also not hide from something unfavorable and just spread optimism that is borderline inaccurate. I love snow as much as anyone, but the next two weeks look tough. I don't know what else to say.

Here is the other problem. Note the massive anomalies near Davis Straits. You'd think big block right? But look at the curvature of the height lines. Some subtle anticyclonic turning, but for those anomalies...you would expect more of a stout, deep ridge there....even in a smoothed out mean. I think the puke Pacific look is just pumping warm air into the normally cold parts of that area in Canada. The result are heights that are probably biased high due to warm temp anomalies vs actually a giant ridge. The temp anomalies are near +20F. I don't doubt there are members with a ridge in the Davis Straits, but perhaps don't be fooled by those massive anomalies, as that may be more of a result of Pacific puke air.

I'm not arguing later in the month...Perhaps that happens. But the first week...maybe even first half looks pretty nasty IMO. Maybe the NNE interior can make a run if that block does move more to the west. It doesn't mean we can't see snow, but when I look at the nrn hemi....I sure don't get the snowy vibes for SNE.

Well some tell it how it is. Some continue with the voodoo.

Ginxy, for Christ sake....Jan '11? Yes, I'll toss that like a Cam Newton pick-6. But, that doesn't mean January is tossed. Tossing Jan means it's skunked. I'm not there yet. I'm tossing one of the most epic January's to happen.

Where?

It's all about where the anomalies are located. I hate those effing charts, because they don't tell the story. I never ever look at those. I need to see the H5 anomalies. Also, way too early to cancel. People are losing their shit because of the Grinch storm. Some of the interior already has 2 small snow events this month with a 10-15" storm in between. Well over their December snow climo.

? We've said for days it's been getting worse on the guidance. The cutter occurred with 2 weeks notice. The Pacific has always sucked, and the Atlantic for the time being, has ridging where it is not favorable. Why would anyone give false hope and lie about what is coming? The next couple of weeks look rather unfavorable for anything due to all those circumstances.

Yeah the faster flow in Canada is definitely something to cheer for.

Ukie drinking right through 12z.

Gfs does offer hope up north. Need other guidance to sign on. Having Ukie still drunk off the Christmas eggnog at 00z doesn’t help.

We have been.

If I have 30” of snow otg by 2/2 we will build statues of you.

I’m not melting. It is what it is. But I hope you can throw this back in my face.

Get off GD Twitter.

I went through the billboard top 100 for 1989. Some good bangers in there.

10 years ago. What a great storm. Sorry Ginxy, 10-11 ain’t happening.

Speaking of 1989, Phin are you ok, Phin are you ok...are you ok phinny You've been hit by, you been struck by..a smooth cutter.

Burn those phucking charts.

Should be chilly in AK. When it’s chilly there, that’s usually not good for here.

Yeah a lot of recent confirmation bias I think.

Maybe Phin can be part of Randolph’s lowest seasonal snow total ever.

I guess we’ll see if those anomalies do move WSW into the Davis Straits? Until then Pacific sucks and getting a ridge developing over the sunken Viking ships won’t help.
