Last year might have been too much of a good thing. I remember that mega NAO block. The -SD that kept appearing on the ens means didn't have 'reds in the right spots' ....we had magenta blob all across the NAO region. Most of the forum thought we couldn't fail with those looks up top. All that yielded was an avocado +SD PV forced under that block which overwhelmed the pattern. The -PNA didn't help either.

And we've also had our fair share of epic Atlantic looks and even EPO help in recent years with zilch to show for it due mostly to a muted or raging -PNA. A huge part of our run of poor luck is the lack of a good PNA in the the PAC. So far this early in the season we are seeing signals of a decent PAC side which we definitely could use. So the LR outlooks have that going on which could be the game changer this winter.

Not hating the GEFS trend for the Dec 5-7 period. WB NAO, increasing heights PNA region, and strong vorticity moving E out of the Rockies and maybe underneath the region.

E PA/NJ/DE Fall 2023 OBS/Discussion Thread
Ralph Wiggum replied to Rtd208's topic in Philadelphia Region
Well, we all know digital snow doesn't amount to jack squat. But this season already has a vastly different look wrt the longwave pattern and how systems are reacting along the coastline than the past several. Weeklies and lr ens all pointing to a very favorable look towards mid-Dec fwiw. Can't ask for more before mid Dec than that. Better than a blinds-shutter look for sure. -

Not a single person talking about the return of the Dec 5 snow on the 12z gfs for parts of the region? Funny to see digital snow on that date...maybe a good omen for winter even if a 384hr prog doesnt verify.

Enjoying the late start on heating bill season personally. -
That was my point there is factual data that supports your theory. I'm really vested in seeing if your area can cash in sooner than later.

What 'should' historically be different this season (Nino) vs last few (Nina) these followup waves won't get shredded to smithereens every time. Have a good feeling the shred factory is not going to be our biggest problem this season. Definitely not hating the advertised longwave signals moving forward.

-epo/+pna ftmfw....pna will almost always trump a really good Atlantic side. The look out west is of utmost importance. Nice disco gents.
