  1. Yup. Hence the “if” in my post Its a roll of the dice, but it’s one I’d take every time. Doubly so in this year when otherwise background forcing sucks.
  2. Early January would be a nice time for this if it happens and we see the pay off.
  3. Euro has it too. Hopefully I’m not in the flurry screwzone between Monday and Wednesday.
  4. First sub-40F high of the year IMBY
  5. Uber-long range, Paul Roundy keeps saying how his MJO analogs support Greenland blocking by late December and into January. Interestingly, that’s what the extended GEFS show...
  6. ^Icon leaves a lot of energy behind the main cutter and keeps the streams separate. That’s what we want for a frontal wave type deal. Gfs made a clear move toward that today, but not enough. ggem still has a CAD situation on the 16th.
  7. 2 GFS runs in a row have some very light rain/snow showers Wednesday morning
  8. 28F. No flurries that I can see, but some radar returns in western HoCo and northern MoCo right now.
  9. Can we just not do this please?
  10. Eh, doesn’t dump the TPV in AK, but has it consolidated north of the Yukon with a trough in AK and -PNA. Either way, another Xmas torch.
  11. Yup, have to see what ensembles say. We don’t want to see that.
  12. 12z GEFS looks a lot like this at this time.
  13. Yeah, it’s done respectably well. Seems to have lost the major cold bias as well. And more reasonably dispersive.
  14. Low heights in AK are never ideal, but the ridging on the west coast combined with a pretty good Atlantic side make that a nice look. There’s also a bigger piece of the TPV farther east. If that TPV was over AK...it would be suboptimal.
  15. Ah, the first moderation philosophy complaining. Definitely winter now.
  16. There’s a lot to like on the D10 EPS. 50/50, -east NAO, weak +PNA, and cold air. That period next week is definitely one to watch.
  17. And there are model hints that we have a weak strat PV going into January and SSW chances.
  18. If you want a political conversation please take it elsewhere instead of this annoying cryptic hinting and beating around the bush.
  19. It’s the end of an op run, but the 12z gfs shows the sort of evolution we want to see. Cutter brings down an arctic airmass behind it and an active pattern provides a series of strong short waves moving into that cold air. That cutter also acts as a 50/50 low to reinforce the cold. Then hopefully we get a nice snow event before our annual 70F Christmas Eve when the pac puke arrives with Santa.
