CMC coming around.
 
Here is the AmericanWx winter thread page from around 1/15/2014, when we were 10 days from the strong -EPO peak. Anyone have time and enough curioisity to go through this? this may tell us a lot.

Edit: 12Z GEFS looks better than last 3 runs
Found this to be interesting from December 2013 by Jon.
Anyone care about the pattern or do you think the death ridge is locked in for the LR?

At least the 12z GFS and the 00z Euro control runs are showing the opposite, with the 12z GFS ens control with a deep trough over east coast and PV under Hudson bay valid day 10 on the 00z Euro control...stills tries to put a tiny trough under the east coast at that time frame, however with that cold and the blocking on top I don't see it just sitting there...Yesterday's GEFs controls (and previous days for that matter) had a huge death ridge over the east coast valid same time period Jan 10th...A little hope for the weenie to hold on to.

I think the 1/03 fantasy storm model mayhem has got a lot of you down, go outside for a bit or something and come back for the 00z runs.

And it might not turn out to be a winter storm here, but I think when the models are having big changes from run to run and differences from each other it can signal a big storm on the way.
 
What a battle between the Heat Miser and Snow Miser! This run of the GEFS looks to keep many in the SE seasonal or just below normal temps from hr 210 all the way to the end of the run with plenty of cold air to follow into January it seems. And if the cold line is in the right spot, someone will get an overrunning, probably icy, look. Either that, or we torch. Not a lot of in between in this setup. That's why so many of us are jumpy!
 
Larry,
I'll leave my back yard out of the discussion ... o_O

What this is showing for your backyard, my backyard, and for that matter even Brick's backyard aren't important here. The trend for the SE US in general is what it is important and it is a significantly colder run for the SE, including all of out backyards as a whole vs earlier runs even if not yet colder than normal. The day 6-15 12Z GEFS is near normal overall for the SE thanks to weaker SER vs it being warmer than normal on at least the last 3 runs due to stronger SER.

You got my drift, I see!
 
Anyone do this yet? I don't have time but it may be helpful.
Larry, I copied a post from Jon leading up to that time frame earlier. Not sure if you saw it? Also, page 4 has a map that almost looks identical with the ridge we saw on earlier runs. Maybe the EPO will save us again.

I just saw it. Thank you. That's encouraging. However, I'm still wondering what the commentary was like from mid Jan (where I linked), which was about 10 days before the 1/25/2014 strong -EPO peak. We're also about 10 days out now. Did you look at posts from around Jan 14-18, 2014 yet?

Meanwhile, 12Z Euro also looking better than its prior run as of hour 150 fwiw.

Yeah this run will be much improved

Haven't had time to review the rest of it yet. It's encouraging that the models are at least coming back around from that crazy torch solution earlier.
