It is a crying shame that in the extended range in January we get a low that tracks south of us and we still cannot pull a snowstorm out of that scenario. I don't care what you say. That is a sign of a crap pattern if there ever was one.

Again on the 12z gfs suite the se ridge is getting besten back by the tpv which could allow for a sneaky system late in the game. My target date of 01-30 has been cooling down since yesterday on the operationals and the ensembles.

On the 12z gfs the clipper coming in looks best for the northern mountains. It looks pathetic really. Seems like it's going the way of the euro. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

12z gfs goes with more of a uniform look across the mountains Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

12z NAM going with the north mountains currently. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

I've noticed that the ensembles have backed off the se ridge today even the eps but the eps is the warmer Ensemble out of all of them which is concerning.

Temp just backed down to 31 with some snow mixing in now. Back to bed for me.

Good morning everyone. Surprisingly we are sitting right at 32 degrees getting a mixture of rain and sleet this morning.

Im not trying to be a downer but this is concerning to me. The second image was from the eps 12z suite for 01-30, the first image is from today's eps 12z suite for the same time frame. You go from a decent look to the SE RIDGE flexing. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

00z NAM is a nice hit for the mountains. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

The SE ridge is relentless on todays maps. That and diving systems down to the four corners doesn't do us any good.

Yeah we've seen this song and dance a lot.

Yeah this run is much better than the overnight runs in my opinion.

The gfs is the only model this morning that looks decent for upslope snow. The euro is paltry and the NAM has back off it's totals. Also once we get this cold front around the 27th the whole country goes zonal and we end up warming right back up.

Yeah when a track like this upcoming weekend brings rain to all of us you know it's a crap pattern. Yep.

Yeah the pattern change I just don't see at this point. My opinion is we don't see a true pattern change until March then that will screw up Spring. This is just a repeating pattern from September in my opinion. Not bad but not great.

Yeah the so called pattern change is not going to come to fruition until probably March.... There has been a recurring theme that has repeated since September. And that is exactly what we are looking at. At this point the only way we get a synoptic storm is threading the needle on a storm because we are getting plenty of moisture in here.

Truthfully im not impressed with the upcoming pattern. Everything cuts then get have a cold front then back to warmth because majority of the cold air is in the Rockies. Im just about done with January at this point. Things have not trended well.

That will not affect our weather until February. Primarily mid to Late February and there is no guarantee that it affects us in the positive.

Another really good run by the EPS. Cold is near by with a damn active storm track. That's about all you can ask for at this juncture.

The 12z gfs has a ton of potential and still showing some mighty cold air coming in.
