Typhoon Tip

Understatement wrt to that particular GGEM run... woof

I'm thinking a first time ever in history, CC attributed ... 55" ambient result at pan-dimensional scales in the triangulum NYC-RUT-BVY ... everyone gets a totally "normal" season snow total ha

they all do. I mean they gotta when there's a closed contoured mean in the vicinity from 10 days away.

yeah... admittedly, that struck me too as a possible lapse in foresight in selecting a handle that isolates the "ticular" suffix for reader processing ... LOL It's like going with Richard Head or perhaps the indelible lovable Michael Hunt

It does have some consistency - relative to being 10 or 11 days out+ - in the ensemble means. As Steve mentioned it also does fit the teleconnection outlook for that period of time ( 8th -15th) reasonably well. It could be better in that latter regards, ideally so ... but the +delta(PNA) may be more important there than whether it ultimately goes positive. I wouldn't be starting threads on that, from this range, without a fuller complement of clad mass-field suggestion, though. Just me.. It's a candidate for a day 5er until that happens. Vitals: a +d(PNA) that changes mode from -2 or -3 to just shy of 0 SD. Again, not ideal. But, it does suggest that the non-linear negative interference factor is decreasing ( which ends up being a positive for cyclogen ) -NAO that in itself is uniquely guilty in the past of being a Charlie Brown index. But this time, the integrated curve looks less "spiked" in nature. Combining that with a climate inference, negative NAO after eastern mid lat continent warm episodes in early to mid spring, these are confidence builders. However, it should be noted that the -NAO as seen in the ensembles, is an eastern limb variant to start ... some vague suggestion for retrograde at high latitudes farther out in time. The east bias in the layout offers room for eastern Lakes/ST L. seaway transits. What all that means is that this is a needle thread. What's new. I'm sure there is 0 patience to hear the words 'needle' and 'thread' in the same sentence after ... 8 years of it, but it is what it is. One aspect is a little interesting is the operational Euro's 'bowling ball' rendition. That's a bit different, and can also fit March climo

Yeah...it's above 6,000 ...that's like going to Venus to gawk over how hot it is. of course it's hot there. of course elevations get a ton of snow.

Getting this repeating impression that something's pulled N in the continent ... exposing what had been a suppressed El Nino S/stream all along. We just couldn't see it. This entire region E of 100 W has been getting punctured and perforated with all this lower latitude vorticity shrapnel ...turning the corner and generating these weak Miller A relfections that are completely f'ing up what really could have been 70s Mon-Wed. Now ... it's probably cold in Boston with a Harbo fist pushing all the way to Alb the way that's been going.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the 10th/11th idea... I realize that may be subjectively difficult. With the antecedent winter eroding on patience and/or the 'Stockholm Syndrome' thing ... it makes it little more difficult to believe, and also inclines people to just give into a warm extinction of winter. However, there are background reasons aplenty to watch that period. In step-back principle, any time there is a multi-sourced, multi run cycle continuity (all ens systems) suggesting a Pac wave inject up underneath a -d(NAO) teleconnector modality ... uh. I mean that's more fun arousing in DJF, granted ... but that smacks pretty loudly (to me) as a 'bowling event' framework. Well ... we're entering the bowling season. Sometimes when the shoe fits - Also, the PNA is not actually going positive - I read that a couple times ... It's relaxing from a substantial nadir, perhaps even neutralizing ... just clarifying. However, that may be enough to warrant 'period of interest'. The PNA domain is very large. Moving it from -3 SD to 0 SD is a delta of +3, which in any scenario ...moving the entire PNA mass-field by 3 whole standard deviations is noteworthy. Being so large ... the western limb over the Pacific may sImply be offsetting the N/A domain expression (vice-versa). Regarding the -NAO ... It should be noted that a period of -NAO/ blocking following a interlude of early thaw/warm anomaly has a pretty significant historical precedence. Historical climate methods are taking punches; with the history, itself, become less akin to presence and going forward, that questions the logic of the method. Cross the bridge ...

And attenuation is complete … go figure.

uh uh uh uhhhht

Nope... only pain will convince in this at this point.

heh... yeah, i've never seen that model actually be right so -

Then another one at the end of the month ... just as he's being wheeled out of 3 electro-shock sessions and an IV drip of Thorazine, too.

Ya ever get the distinct and undeniable impression that the weather and models are targeting Scott's sanity for destruction ? I mean ...no sooner has he fully adopted the doctrine of 2023-2024 hate, the CFS model has 30" of aggregated cement and pebbles for SNE at mid month from two strong coastals. Maybe we can get the metaphysics of the thing to just dump it on his neighborhood - haha

hm .. tend to agree here

That sucker went deep at 500 mb. That pattern during the week preceding did bear some resemblance to what's been modeled for/during the first couple of weeks of this March. 4 days prior to the 17th, 1973

Yeah ...the telecon spread's are not exactly warm with no variation in sight. primer: warm patterns in early spring tend to synoptically self-destruct. They get kicked out of the continent and end up pooling in the NW-N Atlantic. That forces the -NAO. Heh, if you are a responsible-minded warm enthusiast with a modicum of longer vision, you don't want for these early "winter heat waves" Anyway, seeing the teleconnectors in fact dropping the NAO negative post the 9th has that historical element to back it. But it is not just the -NAO. I mean, the -NAO can be biased over the eastern limb for example. When that happens it's more of a factor for W/NW Europe. Very recently, the ensemble means have retrograding positive anomalies (500 mb hgts) from Greenland through the D. Straight - it's a long way out but that is very tentatively in support of a more westward blocking. Meanwhile, the PNA flat lines - the trend of which extrapolates to it becoming positive. At that point ...warmth's rug is likely pulled. So we'll see. This could all wholesale change. March is one of the more unstable months of the year due to seasonal change. The t-spreads discussed above actually had backed off yesterday, but have come back since. So those broadly canvased indicators are showing some instability. oy

Man, the wide eyed slack-jawed expression of the Chicagoan warm weather enthusiast has got to be a hilarious sight to behold as they stand there gazing in disbelief. 50 F colder today than yesterday. That's just not fair hahaha I mean, the "cimate cold front" is typically a 25 F correction. They're getting double-donged for this quota. Although... actually, big short term corrections are more common out there in the Plains. I remember my grandmother once told me of going to a matinee one Sunday back circa 1940s, down in Dallas Texas. She was telling me about the so -called "Blue Norther" She said it was close to 80 when they entered the movie house, and just 19 when they left ... donned in summer apparel. "Your grandfather was wearing just a short-sleeved shirt."

And are pernicious to the surrounding ecological health, too. We've talked about this in the past ( it's obviously not the thread for it so keeping it brief), there is a movement in 'property aesthetics' that is derived from enlightening to that awareness. It features creative uses of rock gardens, draped and or garland with mixes of low-flowering species. Single species aspirations in lawn care is completely and utterly dip-shit obvious - to be blunt. Forefathers ( like your aristocratic vision...) didn't know any better. It was always based on ignoramus and/or predispositions surrounding inherited fancies, didn't occur to anyone as questionable. Unfortunately, now exposed as being shit. Fair, and most importantly ... diverse competition in the ecology, that is what breeds health - not just the systemic health, but the contributing species are also healthier.

https://phys.org/news/2024-02-world-stem-surge-polluting-trash.html ...while we are busy cutting the pie into slices of who-dun-what in the causality of the climate holocaust ... this above is just a problematic. Man, despite all conceits ... the evidences continues to mount, human innovation as a weapon unto itself, appears to be its greatest achievement.

We just saw the scaffolding of the pattern for next week change over the last 30 yours of modeling cycles toward what your suggesting. yeah - What was once a strong continental front slated to sweep away the mildness early next week, is now looking ( weirdly so...) like a summer front bumping into a WAR resistance and washing out... I mean it cools off, but there's suggestion now that heights and ridging may attempt to roll right back in toward the end of the week. Relatively new... Meanwhile, the EPS/GEPS/GEFs have all brought back the -NAO look, but when they brought it back, it appears to be 2 days later. Mm ...wondering if there's going to be some can kicking here.

Still funny Anyway, I don't believe the idiosyncratics of the increasingly more difficult to explain pattern behaviors existed 100 years ago. That's a smoking gun - everything precipitates ( no pun intended ) out of the pattern noise of respective eras. I don't believe the circulation modes of today would have been observable 100 years ago. Different inputs respective of eras makes the comparison ...not as extreme as 'apple to oranges' ... Call it apples to pears. I mean they are not hugely divergent in a comparison, but the circulation being effected is already papered and peer-reviewed. The business with the HC ... to the mean winter PV of the AO domain ... all these fields are verified as changed(ing). 100 years ago is in an extinction event - tongue in cheek intended... It's a question that cannot ultimately be resolved here, though ... Because we do not have access to super computers, nor the advanced reanalysis techniques. To mention, the millions of initial condition data points ... I mean there's a dizzying array of tech and touches combined in preprocessing alone just to initialize any kind of imagined environmental computation - such that could predict 100 years ago vs today with very much confidence. All that would be needed ... Where is the wherewithal, it is happening. There's attribution papers being published. There is unfortunately, also "attribution" being floated by dubious credibility. And the Industrial Media Complex? the minute news and information went up for sale some 50 years ago ... humanity was probably doomed - but that's a wild digression.

Don't have a problem with this assessment based upon observed pattern behavior - persistence therein. Trough attenuation tendency, while passing embedded waves through the PNA domain, has been a big issue in failing cyclogen potential (it's actually been true in recent years ). East of ~110 W across the mid latitude continent, there's been a leitmotif where modeled features are too amplified out in time, becoming less as the outlook intervals cross into mid and eventually shorter ranges. A lot of that can be explained by local hemisphere index modes. Example, trying to relay an important S/W through an unfavorable PNAP circulation mode, is inherently a negative (destructive) interference. However, this bias in modeling is noted in +PNA modes, too, when convention implies constructive feed-back should actually increase wave amplitude. As conjecture, it's a nice intuitive explanation. That the R-wave mechanics, extinguishing the farther down stream from the far E Asian distribution into W Pacific circulation mode we look, is "abandoning" the pattern ( so to speak ...) so S/W mechanics are getting an 'implied' canceling effect from the non-linear function. Lot of long words but that's what that would be... Metaphor (maybe) is like a wave in the ocean lowering in altitude when it moves back into a deeper water - dropping the floor out from underneath starts canceling the wave amplitude. It also fits the increased frequency of apparent partial decoupling of the ENSO states wrt to the behavior of the mid latitude westerlies. If an upstream signal is dominating and happens to be sending an R-wave distribution down stream that is no longer in concert, ... we start hearing a lot more people saying, '... the pattern 'doesn't look very (Nino)(Nina) like'. Meanwhile, ...we look at the verified distribution of precipitation and temperature anomalies and there's still going to be some vestigial complement to the correlation there - we're not talking absolutes. The maelstrom of the planet is an integrated ambrosia of different eddy forcing sources, in different quantities, changing in time.

Other way around - replace "isn't" with is

mm-yeeeah. we might see that telecon signal collapse. this is a weird ensemble look -
