Go back and read the 1st 20 pages in here in regards to the MJO, the flip , the 20th etc and get back to us. 

And how is this for seeing the month of Dec ,this was my Dec call made on Nov 11.

Right down to the snow in early December , the back end warmth to the month

The plus 1 for Dec was my forecast , we finished plus .8 

 

I am not sure dragging my skill into this considering my year is wise. 

 

I think I have the period Jan 20 plus  spot on so far

And FWIW it doesn't really get that cold either after the pattern change.

It's about 5 degrees below normal for maybe 4 days before warmer air returns. 

The GFS has been garbage with it showing nonsense LR snowstorms and frigid temps. Euro much closer to reality.

Despite this I do think we'll see something beginning of February. The EPS is not a bad look.

OMG dude, If you go from plus 15 to minus 5 in late Jan, do you not realize what a major flip that is ? 

Your N splits are 38 / 28 , so you go from 53 / 43 to 33 /23 with a trough in the means where the ridge was for 30 days and a great 500 with a " potential " stormy look.

That`s a major flip.

 

There`s no warmth coming back at all, you will prob see 3 days of 40 +degree highs  due to a ridge extending out of Canada in response to an AAM spike. Do you know what that ridge is ? It`s your Hudson Bay block for what`s coming. 

It is what you will need to get 1 or 2 snowstorms in the pattern. Because that`s the risk with that 500.  HB blocking with the trough cutting underneath. You couldn`t ask for anything more and that look was being set up here while others were certain the ridge would not be kicked out. 

It is the look you want and that is what I always believed the set up would look.

That's why I believe we'll get something in early Feb particularly once that ridge pulls back from us. 

It's classic Nino that's very favorable for snows here in February. All I said was the MJO may stay in 7, which by the way is good for us. 

Today's plots also show more negativity in the AO/NAO domains in response to that spike and subsequent Canadian ridging. Another good sign for an early Feb snow event.

To your point the teles now look good.

Nao going negative as well as AO.

If you were so confident you wouldn't be throwing a fit and every plot I've seen takes the MJO into phase 7 and then into the COD. 

There's a reason the AO/NAO aren't tanking.

Those plots are picking up on a kelvin wave in p6. That’s why you’re getting the curl back then back to 8. By the start of February we will be in p8 then the wave looks to die. Will will probably be in cod after the 10th then climo nino takes over for February.

You can now see the members curling back. Those maps are so predictable.

Phase 7 in Jan is good for you.

Great for the S/E.

I continue to agree with Timmy, we are going into p8 and then the wave could fade.

You keep changing your mind everytime  you see a bad and good pattern modeled.

I've liked February to produce but wasn't sure if we'd see a classic Nino response.

It's nice that the models are showing it now. It doesn't guarantee anything of course but our chances are good.

Quit the bickering. Focus on the teleconnections and models not on each other. Right now there is support on both sides of the argument but based on what I am seeing the colder argument is winning at least for a week or two. Anyone claiming victory for most of February at this point is just being ridiculous.

I didn't know it was a contest. Can't people here have a discussion without calling names ? Not referring to you.

Really? I've never done anything but give you respect. I expect the same in return. Sometimes not responding is the best option. 

 

Not being disrespectful , just saying posting the pattern wasn`t changing on the 20th was not supported by the guidance. 

What a pattern change means are probably different things to different people.

 

If Brian doesn`t get at least 6 inches of snow over the next 2 weeks the pattern will have not changed

The personal attacks are ridiculous. It is OKAY to be critical, but point out where the flaws are. I've been highly critical of JB, yet people still use him. Why do I not use him? Because his skill for forecasting overall temperatures is less than 30% (I ran the numbers about 5 years ago).

Day 9 / 10 threats come and go but this has been a period that really bares watching.

The ridge over H/B argues for anything that tries to cut should die and a secondary should come up off OBX.

It is the 1st period inside the pattern change that should be " watched " but do not be surprised if there`s more than one threat rolling out of the S Branch with those high heights over

Hudson Bay.

So 06-07 was warmer. 13 years ago

 

We shall see.

Dec 2006 was 43.6 but December 2019 was 38.8

January 2007 was 37.5, so far this January is 42.7.

I'd call it a draw right now.

December 2015 was an unprecedented 50.8 which was close to the average temperature for April.
