@Allsnow“La Niña is dead” - over a month ago from you lol another good one. Reality:cdas-sflux_ssta_global_1.pngnino4.png

It’s far from a typical  La Niña Pattern, despite what you say.   Remember the big “failed call” from you in December?  The GFS is gonna be right with that confluence.  This isn’t coming north..  boy that worked out well

Under ordinary circumstances we would likely be in one now but the NAO is preventing there from being a massive SE ridge.   Also it’s somewhat crazy to keep this degree of blocking and -AO this far into a mod La Niña not to mention likely keep it through most of February.  I think there are few cases if any where a mod to strong La Niña was able to keep the AO and NAO negative well through February

This February isn't going to be like a typical la Nina February.

The trof will still be centered to our west I think but closer than it’s been which might keep any ridging out over the Atlantic.  The pattern around day 10 and beyond on some ensembles looks a bit like February 1989 which was one of the colder moderate La Niña Februarys here, albeit still slightly above normal

If the mjo goes into 8, all bets are off.

The blocking will stick around and the trough axis will be to our west. Looks like a lot of cold on our side of the globe though.

Some tight gradient storms, SWFE are probable but could benefit New England more than us.

@AllsnowKarma. It’s going to be funny when we have a raging SE ridge by the end of the 1st week of February lol It’s already starting to show up on guidance. The ‘SSW, epic cold and snow blocked January’ turned into an epic, monumental fail. What’s your other favorite saying...oh yea “CCB ownage” lol BTW, I’m still waiting for my “4-8 inch type deal” you said yesterday was going to be....I got a big inch, comical. I can’t wait to troll you lol

So again all knowledgeable one. As of tonight, what's your forecast for this Sunday thru Tuesday?

The 00Z NAM at 84 actually looks fairly close to the 18Z GFS at 90....how often do we see the NAM come into range and look that similar to the globals?  That is usually a sign of a big one

Hope we can cash in on the front end stuff because that would really enhance totals if all goes well and also offer some protection if the coastal fails

Yeah I’d put the NAM in gfs camp. It’s a lot faster than 12z euro is

I've seen the NAM doing better at hr84 than the globals. Was it during the January 2015 storm the last time we got Nam'ed?

I feel like the NAM at H5 has been better at the ends of its range than it used to. It still sucks at qpf placement and amounts though. I just don’t see the crazy wacky runs

It did in 1995-96 winter

Its been better for 2 years now.  It used to be automatically overamped at the end of the run every time

I know you've all been burned a lot lately but there really is a storm coming this time. I'm not going to promise a region-wide blockbuster but at least it's something real to track.  Wake the f up.  

Until I see the snow falling...
