We usually get snow to rain events or a dusting to an inch events during bad winters. We can't even muster those little events.

 

Pretty sad 

I still wouldn't totally rule out a half inch of snow to rain for the Wednesday event but not really sure what would be the excitement of that anyway.

The 29th looks like hell now on the gefs

These longer range progs are a moving target and have not shown any consistency for months as far a eastern U.S. snow and cold go.  As we go through time and get into the 3-5 day range they revert to what we have been seeing since November.  Until something sticks and holds for several cycles and gets into at least the 5 day period I'd consider them all dubious.

It does get cold into the east after the 25th but it only lasts 2-3 days. Basically December again. The pv lobe dumps cold into the west because of the -pna

If it's going to snow, it will likely be late February into March with shorter wavelengths, higher volatility.

Thing is there has been a consistent theme all “winter” so far that the SE Ridge has been undermodeled at days 7-10 which gives these occasional pipe dream runs that turn to the reality of a cutter or SWFE by day 4-5. Models haven’t been so terrible with the fantasy storms this year which probably points to the Pacific also being so bad but it goes to show what kind of major change we need to make something happen this year. 

The PNA ridge axis is too far west on the models so far for the late Jan threats in addition to the SE ridge issue, so very likely they’ll end up the exact same as the other storms this winter except they may be better way inland and in NNE. There may be some help from the NAO eventually but so far doesn’t look to be enough to stop the overwhelmingly favorable setup for cutters.

There is a coastal signal for the 31st on the 12z GEFS, although it appears to be too warm for the coast. This is the next threat after the 25th-26th, and possibly the only one that will occur during our brief "improved" pattern.

Thats how the two storms for next week started as coastals that were too warm/marginal for the coast and now they are cutting well inland.

I think we should have been more prepared for a typical la Nina RNA this year.

Kind of surprised the Euro is the model trolling us but Euro says you can keep dreaming next week especially inland

Considering all I have gotten is a brief snow squall on Christmas Eve, this would feel like a major storm.

Agree with all of this !

The op Euro has been showing the pipe dream storms and flip flopping like a fish out of water. Whatever they did to that model with the upgrade, it is nothing like it used to be. Its “King” title is no more

Seems like it’s more than just the Nina, or factors that are enhancing the Nina beyond its typical effects. The W Atlantic is way warmer than normal which enhances the SE Ridge and the Indonesia/Australia marine heatwave seems to push the MJO into unfavorable phases for us as well as enhance the Pacific jet. That’s beyond the low end moderate Nina we have which hopefully is deteriorating. These factors seem to be working to enhance one another and have been for 3 winters now since this perma Nina started.

The crazy part is, global temps have not dropped despite a 3rd year moderate La Niña, in fact, they have gone up. In our “old” climate, Nina’s would drop the global temps, not anymore. AGW appears to be increasing
