I’m hugging the 18z American. Whatever it takes to dislodge all that cold from the poleView attachment 29025
With that omega block in the Pacific, we ain't getting jack around here. Didn't we have that exact same pattern last year?I’m hugging the 18z American. Whatever it takes to dislodge all that cold from the poleView attachment 29025
Got to crawl before we can walkWith that omega block in the Pacific, we ain't getting jack around here. Didn't we have that exact same pattern last year?
Plus we all know it has to snow in Seattle before it can snow here. I need to check the Wiki first, but I think it’s commonly known as a “table setting step-down process.”With that omega block in the Pacific, we ain't getting jack around here. Didn't we have that exact same pattern last year?
Close enough. New winter same good things in the same spot same turds in the punchbowlWith that omega block in the Pacific, we ain't getting jack around here. Didn't we have that exact same pattern last year?
Yeah we went in the freezer in early January..didn’t see a whole lot of production but it was damn cold..pond beside my house was frozen on top..edit..maybe that was Jan 18’..they are beginning to run togetherLast year we actually had a strong +PNA/-EPO Jan....Feb wasn't pretty. We had a pretty good pattern last half of Jan that didn't' produce.

Are these the named southeast rainstorms for winter 2020?

I wish we didn't have all these models at our disposal. Most of the time we don't get snow until after mid January so the pattern must on average suck this time of year or it would snow more often. Most of our storms probably have came in a 10 day transient pattern. Memory is a horrible thing to rely on with past weather events. There is no doubt it used to snow more, the records don't lie on that. GSP used to get double digit years on average every 3 years or so. Hasn't happened in 27 years now. That's not a coincidence and that alone pisses me off that those days are long gone. But even then most came in Jan and Feb so I guess its always been a waiting game.Last 10 days or so was a nice cold shot...kind of what I'm hoping for this winter. Get a 7-10 cold shot and fluke a storm.

Snowless & Grumpy doing work today!
I like that Waiting On Snow guy on the other board too!On Twitter too. It’s a blood bath everywhere. I might just hide in a corner for a few weeks.

About as deflated a tweet from these guys that I have ever seen. They need to join the Whamby thread.
It is refreshing in a way to see them not keep saying delayed but not denied. The key imo is simply for any forecaster to not have winter forecasts averaging colder than normal in the E US (at least til the normals warm up) and there would likely be improvement just from that.
I’m pretty sure @KyloG will agree on this, but can we get a January 17-18 2018 winter storm repeat, best snowstorm of my life when it comes to it being all snow
We blame it on bad luck always having a bad pattern. But if I'm not mistaken the whole US even the west is above average for winter temps this decade. The only exception is the northern plains. I don't have the composite right now but I'm fairly sure that's right though. I'd like to see composites for Europe and Asia for winters this decade as well to see if its mostly AN there too. If not it could be just bad luck I guess for the US.I go back and forth on this. Are things so much different than the previous decade...more of a rhetorical question. Previous decade we had the following BN/AN winters. Fairly split.
BN: 2001, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010
AN: 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Current decade it’s been 2011, 2014, 2015 and then the super nino and after that it’s been rough. 2013 was AN but back half was fairly intense in parts of the east.
Its hard to argue considering we are going on our 5th AN winter in a row.
I loved that storm because the ground was below freezing when snow started falling. Something that rarely happens in the SE.Definitely! But this one was so close to being so much more. But, still a great event for Raleigh.

Winter is always entertaining on these forums. Either we actually get snow threats, or the weenie suicidal posts are fun to read. Either way, I win in a way. Of course, I make my weenie posts, too, because it's fun.Snowless & Grumpy doing work today!
The 2000s had some catastrophic winters, too, though. The 2010s were better for snowfall around here. The mid-2000s basically had back to back to back virtual shutouts.This past decade has been a blood bath but the previous was fairly solid. Some good and some stinkers, but overall cold. Ready to be done with this decade, that’s for sure.

Kiss of death right there...place all of your bets on zero snow after Brad's post (and I love Brad).Cheer up! It can't be much longer till we have a winter storm............................ Can it?
