It’ll find a way to dump into Europe, even from that position! Some negative phase 6 of the MJO, will reverse pivot and flattulate and bring zonal flow to everyone!A lot more colder air in western Canada building up this run vs previous this is right at day 8-9.

These are both pretty big improvements. Hard to call it a trend yet, but if we can string 2-3 days of this together and watch it begin to work in, we can start to get a bit more confident.
The negative East Asia Mountain Torque event I talked about last week (with low pressure over the Tibet Plateau and China) is now showing up in the medium range on most major ensemble suites. This is one of your first big warning signs of an upcoming pattern change because the negative mountain torque event will help retract/pull back the Pacific jet. This jet retraction allows the Aleutian low to retrograde westward in addition to more breathing room to dig southward, and leaves us with a more malleable, “wavy” jet stream that is thus more conducive to blocking downstream in the NE Pacific and Alaska (-EPO) in the longer term. It’ll take about a week or so for the Pacific jet to respond to this negative mountain torque over east Asia which puts us around the time when NWP is finally showing a favorable pattern for cold/snow, essentially about 2 weeks from now.
Seeing the EPS fold to the GEFS is excellent news IMO. That look on the 19th looks pretty good to me...not even a WAR on that image! It's hard to believe actually. It's not perfect but that's getting into a money zone right there. Obviously it's going to change but if those fundamental elements stay, it's great news. If we can keep the SOI negative I think we could at least be in the game late January. If the bigfoot/unicorn actually shows up for real, February could be really fun. Hopefully these looks stay...
I think we are basically there. We may push a few more says but as a whole the light is at the end of the tunnelThese are both pretty big improvements. Hard to call it a trend yet, but if we can string 2-3 days of this together and watch it begin to work in, we can start to get a bit more confident.
