Pattern Jammin January 2023

The GEFS not agreeing with its operational by a lot .. steady as she goes..
Trying to pop a gulf low so badly in this run. Hope everyone here gets 2 feet of snow.

You’re just not going to get a snowstorm with a ridge poking it’s head in like that. I’m sorry guys. Maybe we beat it back over the next 10 days of modeling but I wouldn’t hang my hat on it. I’m hopeful but damn. I mean damn
This is not a snowstorm pattern. We only have 2-3 days to realistically score then we will go back to warmth. We probably won’t beat back the SER after this for a little while. I’m still thinking late February and early march we will see a much more favorable time period where we can see a legit chance that has more “legs” but you know if ur holding out hope for late in the game winter it’s been a bad winter

What are we basing this late feb early March change on? Was this assuming a SSWE (which hasn’t happened)? Just curious.

Looking at the individual runs of the GFS is a fools errand, especially out past 72 hours. It would be okay with me if we only post maps in the medium range from the GEFS, EPS and GEPS with an occasional Icon deterministic ECMWF and UKMET. GFS for most folks just ends up being the Lucy and Charlie Brown football kick in our old sackaroos

Even without a SSWE, we can follow patterns of LaNinas breaking down and leading to colder periods in late February and March. 2009 is a great example of that.

It would be interesting to do a poll to see who would want to be in the wedge and who would want to be in the orange. I think i know how a few would answer. Without a doubt, I would want to be in the wedge here; keep 60s and especially 70s as far away from me as possible in the heart of "winter."
 
Seems pointless to even look at anything past 5 days with the way things change run to run on the models in the long range. Probably should post this in the whamby thread, but it's locked. Someone buzz me if we ever get an actual storm on the models inside 7 days.

nothing beyond 5 days exactly and thats even a stretch
 
Oh, and if you don't believe something is different, WRAL met Kat Campbell had this little fact posted on Facebook tonight.

7 out of the past 10 Januarys have had at least one severe storm warning in Raleigh. Only 5 out of 10 have had at least one day with 1 inch of snow.

I mean the early 90s had 3 consecutive years of 0 snow for the season in Raleigh.

I’m perfectly tucked in the low 50’s. Yes please

Depends on the situation.
Is it sunny? Then I'll take 60+
Is it raining? Give me the 40's & 50's.
Doesn't matter what I want,
I'm in the heart of CAD & I'll be in the much colder sector.
NG is much higher than in recent years,
If we are not going get any winter weather.
Give me some warmer temps to save on my heating bills.
