Pattern January 2021 - Joyless January

To show what @Webberweather53 fully expected would occur with the then much weaker GEFS as regards the SSW, check this out:

GEFS Run from 5 day ago for 6Z on 1/4/21:

Now look at today's 12Z GEFS for 1/4/21 at 6Z:

Now what about the EPS? Unlike the wildly changed GEFS, steady as a rock with hardly any change vs the run from 5 days ago thus showing how much better a model it is for SSWs!!

New one (EPS) looks even a little bit better ?
 
At this lead I'm just looking to see if the # of hits increase run over run versus decreases or increases in the mean itself. I'd much rather have 70% of members showing 1-2 than 4% showing 25+ though the mean would be similar

True. I seem to find they go hand in hand though. If there's several hits, the average will nicely increase. If there's only one or two it's usually a paltry average. But I agree in principle, the more hits is key. My argument would be the average shows that nicely. Tomato TomAto. lol.
 
I would expect at least the foothills/mountains to see something out of this day 7-12 pattern.

Look at how the flow changes over western Canada through the progression. If we get a bit more help just north of that, we'd be in business before too long.
 
^^Yeah, the 18z GFS is coming considerably colder after day 7 for central and eastern US folks.

Definitely colder but (per the GFS) really boring after next weeks mountain snow with really not a whole lot happening through the end of the run. This thread is rather aptly named.
