What happened to that storm dude that kept screaming about a winter storm for us
Well, good patterns just don't produce the way they used to.Well after a break for the last day I might as well come back. If I'm going to be mad about the weather I may as well come on here and do it with like minded people.
Will we ever get a pattern and enough cold to produce snow? Who knows anymore? You would think with all the available cold and the MJO stuck in phase 7 (which is good in a Jan La Nina) and the likelihood it does eventually get to 8 that we at least would have a brief window. But this is the SE and we constantly find different ways to fail. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if the real cold never gets here and this is another year of just token flakes and maybe at some point a dusting to an inch that melts in 2 hours. Or a complete shutout in mby wouldn't surprise me at all either the way things have been the last 3 years.
Torch so strong it has gone to my head the last few days literallyWho would have thought we'd have a strong west based -NAO, some of the coldest air in the world up for grabs, and an MJO that's not doing constant loops in 4 5 and 6 and still screw it up?

That actually would be considered a cold winter. I’ll take it.We either get pattern change at some point or many of us could see average temperatures this winter near 50.
Pattern change! Well, the model is either wrong and we keep the big Aleutian ridge, OR we go to either a GOA low with a raging Pac jet and say bye bye to all the cold air in Canada or watch that low retrograde to the Aleutians and pump up a western ridge. My guess is the latter, based on the alleged MJO propagation and the fact that the model seems to be moving that way, if you play the animation. It fits with the timing of when a better pattern should theoretically start to emerge. Clock is ticking. 2 weeks.

Average overall near 50 is almost 10 degrees above normal. Hopefully won’t stay THAT warm all winter.That actually would be considered a cold winter. I’ll take it.
We should have a contest for who can have the coldest rain since winter is over.Good ol cold cold rain View attachment 98815View attachment 98816
Wasn’t it 36 and raining in your area yesterday ? Sounds like you have the record so far .We should have a contest for who can have the coldest rain since winter is over.
