Definitely outliers lol - but still worth watching

That’s both a bad thing and a good thing IMO. On one hand it says that there’s not much of a chance, but on the other it says there’s still some significant potential with this system. Definitely still needs to be watched.

juiced up system at that golden timeframe of Jan 28 on the GFS, but it cuts. Nice to see a big storm consistently show up at that timeframe, though.

Cold and dry; warm and wet. The norm.

January is not delivering as promised but there are signs of a more active jet stream by the last week of the month.  Whether the storm track is white or wet TBD.   One cautionary note:  the pattern keeps looking good two weeks out.  Need to see if it holds this time around.

Classic La Nina.

Interesting how we haven't had to have the "too warm" discussion for awhile. The mediocre snow totals from last year to now can't be blamed on that! Unless the elephant is responsible for the SIX Ninas we've had over the last 10 years...

IF we can't get things going late Jan on for whatever reason (not saying we won't so don't jump on me--I said IF), we reeaaalllly need next year's niño to deliver. We can't afford to have both niños of the decade not produce.

Half of those ninas had the too warm discussion.

Just give me a weak, west based El Nino. The last few El Ninos that we've had have either been basin wide or east based. Neither are good for snow lovers.

How about a modoki? :lol: Now, I don't know much about developing ninos...but I wonder when we'll know where this one is gonna set up?

This. 2018-19 nino was a wimp that never fully coupled and got interfered with a lot...

If a Nino happens next year it would be more likely to couple with the atmosphere, especially with it being at least moderate

Maybe February will deliver. :lol:

It seems like the cold hasn't been the issue at all this year. No real torch. We just don't do coastal storms anymore for some reason? 

I’m wondering how much weaker the Gulf Stream has actually gotten and what effect that might be having on moisture not drawing up from the south and along the east coast.

Matt used to comment (where in the world did he go and why ??) 15 years ago how models  did so much better in ninos.  He was correct and that correctness has un fortunately increased.  Models are virtually helpless in Miller B dominated low pressure placements, movements and developments in Nina,no stj winters  for mid Atlantic

It's been a blip all season

Yes...but around this time of winter in a nina when you get to the end of Jan and head into Feb, a SE ridge would be a typical occurrence in a nina (and the cold we've had so far on the front end is also typival) Now it doesn't have to mean anything, of course...but it is something to keep an eye on.
