Pattern January 2020 - Operation Thaw Alaska

I know I am; I'm being aggressive with these models this winter season. If they don't show solid consistency with something to my liking, I'm moving on to the next. I better refrain myself from posting further about this cause I don't want to get banned.
It's weather man, it's going to do what it wants regardless. Just relax and let everything get sorted out, it ALWAYS does.

No one should be discouraged from sharing their opinions, but I think the problem a lot of people have with you is that you speak in absolutes and "almighty authority". Even the professional meteorologists who post here don't post like that.
 
The 12Z EPS then is a warmer run vs the 0Z EPS for the followup system and too warm for most for wintry it appears. Yuck. But I suspect there'd still be some wintry members for CAD regions at least

yeah the third system towards the weekend of the 24th would need work but its so far out and things will change so much . I mean just look at the flipping and flopping with the ensembles
 
12Z EPS mean finally cools back down some to a little BN on 1/28 but it is not nearly as cold as the 0Z EPS or the 12Z GEFS. ALEET, folks, and not in a good way.
Okay? It’s one run. It’ll change
 

H5 doesn’t really make sense so I don’t see a cause for concern. At the surface it’s only ~5F warmer which still puts us in RDU at climo for late jan. It being day 11+ doesn’t have me worried, model could easily pop a ridge there with 00z

EPS has the MJO going back into the phase 6 with a deeply +EPO, flooding pacific air, it’s better than a SER but it’s definitely not a good winter storm pattern in the LR based off what it shows, I consider that something to watch, hopefully it’s a blip and not a soon to be dumpster fire part 2
Edit - MJo going to bad phase on it probably contributed to that look, and it could very well be wrong on the progression of it
 

Yeah...whoops. The complete -EPO fail is definitely concerning...the models have tried to take it negative a couple of times this winter and it's failed to materialize. When that continually happens it makes you pause and wonder if it's ever going to come.

Yeah, and throw that GEFS -EPO Into the mix certainly makes things more questionable

Looking through the members, both those means are just about worthless.
 
Looking through the members:

at 288hrs: Members are everywhere. Majority looks like either +PNA or kind of zonal.

at ~330hrs: majority are +PNA and a lot are like the pattern showing next week, some kind of zonal.

at 360hrs: look above. Lots of possible snow threats looking at H5.
 
Did you not read the posts above that GaWx and I literally just posted? I posted a EPS trend in the Whamby thread. I can't make it any easier.

Yes, but I also have been reading things since Sunday, and there were a whole lot more positive and good runs of the models compared to this. One blip over 48 hours doesn't mean it's going the wrong way now. If it continues, then sure. But it's not a "trend" the wrong way.
 
This reminds me a lot of last years jan near miss coastal. I really hung my hat on the NW trend and got burned, may need to go back and read on how that played out. I'd hate to put all our eggs in one basket too but this could very well be our only legit chance in NC.

This in my opinion is the most important frame of the euro. Anything beyond 144hrs is really just noise. I'm always reminded of this when we track hurricanes. Where an LP ends up at 192hrs+ is anybodies guess.

At hour 168 the gulf gets squashed as the wave transfers.

For now the EPS (as seen below) supports a slightly weaker high.

How will this play out in future runs? Hopefully it'll allow for more help from the gulf, but I'm sure some other fly is waiting to jump into our ointment.

I got burned too, I actually went back and read that a couple months ago. We all wanted to believe so much that it was going to be a 2000 repeat.
