Honestly decent trends. More okhotsk low means more ridging into AK and maybe less of the mega -pna. Tpv getting inched west by more Scandinavia ridging means we might be able to mute a big SE ridge. As we move forward in time I want to see if the models move toward even more troughing in the okhotsk region and can really get the Pacific ridge into the areas you mentioned. The Scandinavian piece becomes a wildcard, can it build enough to cause a pseudo -nao or does the tpv escape toward the pole or eventually beat down the ridge. Those images really show how we are teetering for the 2nd half of January. We can go into a much more supportive pattern or easily into a dumpster fire.Subtle trends on the past few runs of the EPS makes a big difference with solid AN temps to slightly BN in the east with a small shot at an event. I would like to see that Aleutian ridge nose into Alaska/Yukon more and that very weak eb-NAO trend a little stronger.

New TWC January outlook is out. Just about as ugly a map as you could conjure up. Going to be a long, long winter if that verifies. CFS looks horrid as well.
We'll have some cold shots, but I'm afraid they will all be very short lived, and overall warmth will prevail (i.e. 2011-12 winter)Am I the only one or do some others think we may have seen our coldest temperatures for the season? I hope not but the long range isn't looking good especially January. I'm in Birmingham btw.
We haven't. It will get cold again. And were going to have a big legit SE winter storm too.Am I the only one or do some others think we may have seen our coldest temperatures for the season? I hope not but the long range isn't looking good especially January. I'm in Birmingham btw.

I would suggest not to look at models until mid January. It’s less stressful. I will enjoy my high 50s- low 60s along with my rainstorms every 3-4 days.

But you would have missed the SE snowfall on the latest Op Euro...which has limited ensemble support. Was so close to being bigger.
The ensembles haven't run yet though.But you would have missed the SE snowfall on the latest Op Euro...which has limited ensemble support. Was so close to being bigger.
They are honkingThe ensembles haven't run yet though.
Haven't the Euro Ens not run fully yet? I'm not sure we know the answer there yet.But you would have missed the SE snowfall on the latest Op Euro...which has limited ensemble support. Was so close to being bigger.
JB saw the euro and instantly hugged it, lol

Weathermodels.comWhat’s the preferred model viewing platform these days? Is WeatherBell still good? That’s what I used to have, but I discontinued my subscription when I moved to Florida a few years ago. But now that I’m back I might as well get one again as Dr. No is too tempting to ignore.
As SD said, Weathermodels.com. Much cheaper than weatherbell and is run by Ryan Maue. I've never used paid subscription model sites and have relied on the free ones, but if I ever did I'd probably use weathermodels.com.What’s the preferred model viewing platform these days?

Traveling to other cities while an ongoing snowstorm is happening can be quite therapeutic during a bad southeast winter. I went through flagstaff Arizona one year while one of those epic mountain winter storms was in progress. There was already a foot of snow on the ground when I got there and it proceeded to snow heavily all night that evening. The next morning the snow drifts were covering car tops and even some roof tops of smaller houses. I kept going outside throughout the evening just admiring the heaviest snow I’d ever seen falling with no end in sight. Fortunately for me I got to experience something similar here at home 8 years later when 12 inches of snow fell in January of 2016.At least so far my trip to Lake Tahoe late next weekend into the following week looks snowy.. might be my only snow this winter lol

February’s had been very good to our area until the last 3 years. I won’t be shocked if we have a good one this winter or next.This may or may not be the year we break the streak of Fugly Februaries, but this streak of Fugly Febs can't last forever. Eventually we'll have at least a seasonal (if not cold) February again. February is a winter month and it will happen again.
If it snows while you're gone, there might be a moving van in your drive way when you return.Well Webber we screwed our Iowa storm for this week. It’s fitting . I’m sure when you go to Boston in a few weeks they will be in the 40s .......
I have to go to Arizona in three weeks I’m sure that’s when the southeast will cash in
We suck ....... I hate winter
