Pattern January Joke

Oh it’s dropping a strong upper low well south there. Ends up warming pretty good, but heavy snow in the mtns etc. Just neat to see it. Gotta time things up right
End of next week looks like big potential. That’s a strong upper low with lots of energy. Could be a great one to track and not tha far off
 
Does anyone have any guidance on how Dec 2017 looked at the same time frame as next weekends potential? I would kill for another event like that.

Nothing like that. This will be a big phaser if it happens and boy are the players on the field for something epic.

The models have been honking their horn at this for days...I cant wait for this mess to go way so we can focus on that one if it is still there.
 

Very *January 16th 2023* looking storm. Only it came out of Alberta/Saskatchewan and into Nebraska and Kansas instead of Iowa and Manitoba. The ridge was also tighter out west. But plenty of time to watch the trends but Greenland blocking doesn't seem like its leaving anytime soon, so we have that.

That or the thing that shouldn't be named except suppressed west to east from the -NAO.

GEFS is much more enthused for next weekend at the moment. EPS had a great signal but really lessened it yesterday at 12z and last night at 00z.

Would be curious to see how the AI models and weather next models look as well. Hope we can reel this one in!
 
I don't typically watch AI models, maybe someone that does could answer this question. Do they typically have the Northeastern trend on storm systems? Do they handle 76+ day temps pretty well?
 

The GFS is absolutely idiotic with these extreme stupid cold readings over snowcover.
When looking at the soundings for the crazy low temps the GFS is printing out for MBY, where it assumes ICE-covered vegetation, it takes the 2m air temperture right down to the dew point. By comparison, the coldest model during the storm with by far the most ice accumulation, the ICON is drastically different. Something of interest to look for on Tuesday morning.
