The cool thing about 500mb anomalies is sometimes they don’t matter at the surface. -30s in Minnesota. A little cold...

Look at all that cold air just to the north. That’s amazing. I can’t remember seeing that much cold air covering almost all of Canada ?? ...
 
Man can we get that look to stay for the next several runs?


If we can keep supplying hard liquor for the GFS, perhaps!

When something like that appears out of nowhere past day 10 with no previous run having anything like it and with no ensemble or indices support, you might as well assume the model is drunk or else you’ll set yourself up for a disappointment.

We hear about the drunk Doc all the time. But the GFS has its share of alcohol, too.
