Like we are seeing this month, a -WPO and +EPO can average near to below normal. But it all depends on how the other teleconnections line up. It’s  more a back and forth pattern than any record cold. You would want a -EPO for a daily cold record. But smaller cold departures can occur with a well placed -WPO.

 

-WPO +EPO this November

As Bluewave pointed out, you know what you are looking at is not -EPO right? A ridge in the Aleutians is -WPO. A ridge over Alaska and the GOA would be -EPO 

We don’t need a -EPO for big nor’easter. There is North Atlantic blocking in place, and the western ridge is centered over WASHINGTON. That tells me that the pattern does not favor these out to sea solutions. There is plenty of room for the northern branch to dig farther south, leading to more amplification, redevelopment of the Miller B farther south, a stronger storm at peak, and a slower moving storm.

You're arguing against a point no one made though.

A thread for this (part two) is already out there, if you become more confident.  I'm a little hesitant right now...models have bern vacillating, GFS op generally out to seas and I dont have any confidence in the ICON.  Maybe tomorrow morning will show some slight consistency?  I'd like to see the EC have snow for us, 3 consecutive runs.

In any case, the pattern is fairly blocky and good cold for us but whether anything can generate other than a CFP Sunday, am unsure.

it won't be a noreaster, probably more like a clipper, still it will be our first snow of the season

Just had to chase off a decent size black bear with my dog in support from around the chicken coop. I then witnessed an impressive shooting star that looked like it split into fragments. Impressive night so far. 

wow late Leonids?

also, you have a chicken coop lol?
