Pattern Failbruary Thread

Despite Brent getting on the goods here soon.. I really don’t see a big winter weather pattern .. we definitely have some cold air flying around and the SER is trying to flex at the same time .. just a lot more threading the needle type of scenarios we might have to lean on at least for this first half of February

Well we have this possibility, last nights Euro looked similar and was colder

Seeing the SER trying to flex, along with the parade of of cold high pressures showing up and the snow pack across the northern tier really screams to me for the potential of a widespread Ice/sleet storm across much of the south. Those were the ingredients that help set up the February 1994 Ice Storm

Yeah I guess the set ups just don’t looks as stout as what we’ve been dealing with and there’s plenty of fail opportunity within them .. plus MJO I don’t think is going the right direction .. i dont know we Had a 22 degree CAD 2 weeks ago and I still just got an inch of sleet and .15 freezing rain .. I don’t think I’ll ever see a true ice storm lol

Lol.. that's usually when my neck of the woods cashes in.
No science to back my comment up, just good ol'fashion living and learning.

As long as the MJO is hanging around in the COD, I don’t think we’ll see any extended period above average. The PNA still looks to stay mostly positive for the next couple weeks as well. I would really watch the period around the 2/6-2/8 for something to show
 
One can't help but notice that the epic arctic intrusions with their attendant 1050mB+ highs pressing continent-wide have been largely muted over the past day or so of runs.

Still a good pattern, yes, but nothing epic it would seem. Mainly just the EURO with its thread-the-needle 8-day system which of course keeps me interested.

That high pressure is not in too bad of a position sitting on the tip of Maine but I see that pesky Great Lakes low has appeared again. That might throw some ice our way in Virginia and North Carolina but that look is not ideal for snow lovers at this time. Between now and 2/6 though there will be lots of time to watch the patterns and see if something pops. One thing is certain, lots of things will probably change between now and then.
 
Texans who enjoy having light & heat are OK with "nothing epic."
I'll trade with you in a heartbeat. The Wild Weather Monger lives for destructive ice and snowstorms.

Trick question. Who here wouldn't bust their pants for 2' of wet snow knowing that power is going down because of it, but shudders at the thought of a 1/2" of ice accrual?

2' of wet snow that melts after a day or two as temps return to normal is one thing.

A 2-3 feet historic blizzard in a region used to snow is also one thing.

A measely 3" of powder with temps stuck below freezing for 7 days and days without power is the worst of both worlds.

Maybe for y’all, but I’d take the EPS after the warm up next week every day for snow chances.
 
Interestingly enough the euro is much weaker with the SER that other models and also weaker and less amped with the low .. wonder how that effects downstream but it’s nice to see the euro that way when it’s usually the GFS doing that
