We don't necessarily need Pacific help... just time things correctly or have the ridge in the West in the correct spot as a s/w comes through or SLP and we are fine. We don't need a raging +PNA to get snow around here in January and February... a slightly positive PNA will do the trick
Excellent and very detailed thread by HM (Anthony Masiello) about SSW and upcoming pattern for rest of winter through analog perspective

Webb also tweeted about "the pattern is x amount if days away therefore bullcrap" crowd too

Well the Raiders kicker did miss an XP earlier in the 4th quarter... so we could have had OT instead
The Coastal Carolina/Liberty ending to their football game was wow as well
Good runs the models have shown for the New Year. Potential for snow there will be yes yes... but hard to see the future is. The Dark Side, always watchful it is, waiting to take our snow away.
@WxUSAF @mappy or other mods... or any posters really lol
Should we make a new thread for January long range since we are about a week away from going to the new year?
