Pattern Dazzling December

Even in the southeast we don't need every three letter index on our side to get a storm.

Yeah that’s true. Didn’t we have a +NAO last January when it snowed 3 times? I believe we had a +PNA and +NAO

Not enough cold air to tap, though. But it's too far out for details. Waiting on the Euro...
My concern has been the absence of big cold on our side of the globe, outside of a couple of model runs. That said, a nice tall western ridge can establish cross-polar flow and resolve that issue fairly efficiently. In the meantime, weaker cold is still cold and will more than suffice in helping to establish crucial snow cover to our north.
 
Gefs just caved to the EPS in one run with a western ridge (+PNA/-EPO) View attachment 124913
What was that about the GEFS being a good model last night? Right or wrong, the way this ensemble varies is not the way ensembles were intended to operate. Only one word can accurately summarize the GEFS: trash.

I mean this is a joke!

Yeah that was me who said it was good. I was wrong. The eps has definitely been the most consistent model out of them all. Still time to change but hopefully this is a start to good things

47 and drizzle here. Typical wedge with 25+ degree spread and we are a 3hour drive apart as the crow flys. Be interested to see how fast the warm front (CAD breakdown) happens here overnight.
 
The Front coming through next wed night into Thurs has amazing agreement per all 3 Ops. Canadian even catches enough cold air dammed up for a sig ice storm foothills.

I think that huge storm next week is the beginning of a change for the Eastern US. I think once we get to this coming Saturday, we will be seeing some haymakers on models.
This is something I’ve been noticing for the last week. It is the first system to really get blocked to slow the flow down and the dominoes start falling after that.

You bet I’m in the bullseye here in Roanoke. We get at least 2 ice storms a winter it seems
