Pattern Fail or Fab February 2023 Pattern Thread

I think maybe the Euro looks interesting at h216.

I think maybe the Euro looks interesting at h216.
It certainly has a strong system in this timeframe, probably a good severe setup followed by some backside wintry as it stands right now. Long way to go on this one but it's something at least in the LR
 
NCSNOW Wonder how we get a cold air source if the storm is there 2/11-2/14.
Been asking that question all winter and keep getting same answer lol.

Only hope for this, assuming it did pop up is to Miller A, Deeping/bombogenesis, make its own and be on the NW side. Completely different than what we been chasing for the end of this week.
 
No doubt NCSNOW. It will take one heck of a Miller A. Most long-range forecast are mid 50's to 60's at that time frame. Man, I hope the EURO is on to something.

There is a precip-type wrinkle at the
highest elevations that develops by Thursday afternoon, perhaps
the result of dynamic cooling, whereby a nearly isothermal layer
is seen on fcst soundings above 5000 feet or so. It wouldn`t take
much to bring the snow level down to where we could see a changeover
to a heavy wet snow above 5k feet. Suspect it will be snow at the
summit of Mt Mitchell by the end of the daytime period. Elsewhere,
the extensive clouds, precip, and cool air mass will keep high
temps in the mid/upper 40s
 
Biggest thing I’ve noticed today is everything seems to be about six hours quicker on the NAM. If we could slow it down or get a NW trend(at this range very possible), I could see a more positive solution.
 
43 here. No ice but at least I’m close enough to be fairly cold.
 
Listen there’s no stopping a bad “snow pattern” from being a bad snow pattern .. that’s what we’re in ??‍♂️ but to see how we’ve come from long range into medium range the trend is for progressing troughs through the US .. this still gives us a fighting chance to get a needle in the haystack type of set up for winter precip on occasion. Basically a slop pattern of 60-70 degree days, 40-50 degree cad rain .. and the occasional cold plunge capable of producing winter precip given perfect timing of different pieces. It’s better than a pure wall to wall warm 70s in the heart of winter

Here’s the trends from long range to medium range for 500mb anomalies and 850 temp anomalies
