  1. yeah, not gonna lie, I’m getting cautiously optimistic. I want to see the -NAO at within 10 days, first of all, but I think the first 20 days of March could be quite fun before climo becomes problematic
  2. a -PNA isn’t nearly as much of an annoyance in March due to shorter wavelengths. a -PNA/-NAO late in the year can be quite good as long as the PNA isn’t like -5 sigma the -PNA would provide lots of shortwaves and the -NAO would provide a 50/50 that would keep things from cutting. they can be pretty great if you do get that semipermanent 50/50
  3. both the CMC and GFS have the day 8-10 signal as a strong southern stream wave runs into confluence from the TPV in SE Canada. this is probably our best threat in a while
  4. it’s pretty refreshing to see a 50/50 feature be the deepest anomaly in NA. along with the SSW, it helps me think the blocking signal is a bit more legit with the dipole
  5. I could see us getting blitzed in the same way that the West has once we get a legit +ENSO event and the tropical forcing shifts eastward. wouldn't make sense to think otherwise. the last time we had a legit El Nino, we had 30" in 2 days, and there was 2013-14 and 2009-10 the band is going to snap back the other way and it's going to be great. not happening this year, of course. hopefully next!
  6. I don't know of anyone that is actually thinking that besides 15 year olds on twitter I would be quite surprised if we didn't see a legit -NAO spell at some point in early-mid March, though
  7. i would say so. we pray for this, as we’d definitely get some events with this kind of pattern. it’s relentless verbatim SSWEs are unpredictable and blocking is obviously no guarantee, but I would favor it over keeping the status quo with an event of this magnitude
  8. weeklies are kind of ridiculous… locked and loaded throughout the run. every member has a SSW that occurs by the 16th as some have already mentioned, I am skeptical about the effects of the SSW, as models are notoriously horrible with tropospheric effects. however, given the strength of the SSW, I would be more inclined to see a switch to a blocky pattern like this rather than keeping with the status quo
  9. gets better, actually. locked and loaded throughout the run. every member has a SSW that occurs by the 16th as some have already mentioned, I am skeptical about the effects of the SSW, as models are notoriously horrible with tropospheric effects. however, given the strength of the SSW, I would be more inclined to see a switch to a blocky pattern like this rather than keeping with the status quo
  10. I hope that nobody thinks that anyone that's talking about the SSW is guaranteeing anything... it's just something that can legitimately lead to blocking late in the year and actually shake the pattern up. it's not voodoo either... this is very likely to occur
  11. idk. blocking is showing up during the first week of the month on modeling, and you can get snow for almost the entire month if enough cold air is displaced. I'll take my chances, and if it doesn't happen, it'll torch and that'll be nice too like this storm happened with 10 days left on the month... was a significant one
  12. that's the wild card. I wouldn't get super excited or anything, but the extended modeling is favoring blocking over none at all. I'll take it
  13. SPV from 10-50mb gets torn to shreds. would not surprise me at all if we got blocky in March
  14. hey, what else can we do? nothing in the pipeline for like 10-15 days after this
  15. FWIW the Canadian ENS made a pretty significant shift towards the EPS. much stronger ULL and it's a good bit colder than the GEFS
  16. FWIW the Canadian ENS made a significant improvement compared to 12z. way stronger with the ULL compared to 00z and colder than the GEFS
  17. it is very difficult to get a snowstorm when the system is completely cut off from the northern stream with a bad antecedent airmass, no matter the time of year. this would be a major storm if there was any kind of cold air in place
  18. I wouldn't say that. it's definitely all or nothing, but there is a threat here
  19. considering the odds of 1"+ have steadily increased since 00z today and the 500mb track looks good, I would say it's a legit trend for Sunday
  20. here is the meteogram for BWI from the EPS… multiple significant snowfalls on there
  21. all told, that was a great EPS run. exactly what i wanted to see
  22. there’s a pretty notable NW lean here. much, much improved from 06z
