Pattern January Joke

Both AI models have the storm but suppress it to Cuba. That AIGFS though is playing with fire.
Always takes some luck, but I really like this period (next weekend). Pac Jet extending with Greenland ridge retrograding into Hudson Bay. Good combo to get some fantasy storms showing up

The 6Z GFS (like other recent ones) for the lows of Jan 27th is a great illustration of the super ridiculous GFS radiational cold bias over wintry precip cover (in this case 2”+ of ZR):

I’ll focus on Athens
7PM 1/26: 21
10PM 1/26: 14
1AM 1/27: 11
7AM 1/27: -8

The 7PM-1AM drop rate of 10F from 21 to 11 is very believable. But the 1AM-7AM 19F drop rate from 11 to near alltime records of -8 is absolutely not believable. The GFS is earning its Goofy nickname here and is on an island.
 
This is just stupid. I've seen the GFS try to do stuff, but this takes the cake. This aint wind chills either.

Actually this wouldn't be crazy. Gonna be a heck of a lot or snow pack over the Midwest shortly and I doubt it's going anywhere..

Unfortunately I think our bust here on this threat is another beach blizzard with the barocyclinic boundary sitting off the gulf coast...

I will play those odds again as crazy as it sounds.

Yeah I'm pretty sure our snow isn't going anywhere

The Euro barely even gets to 33 the rest of the month!

But yeah I'd be worried about missing to the south because of that
 
I will say this, Webber and several other on here really did not see this current threat being the Deep South threat 10 days or so ago. I am almost certain he said many of us would not mind sacrificing this one to lay down the snow and ice to the North in order for the next one to be the true threat. Unfortunately a lot of us got roped into this when the GFS and the other AI models were teasing us in the mid to long range. We all knew the pattern looked promising from now thru possibly mid February, so we just need to hold on and not lose hope. Those temps I posted above really are wild for an extended period. We can even afford some moderation of those at this point. I don't think any of us on here will be getting much sleep for the immediate future. I look forward to hearing from the smarter people on here after we get this nasty slop of a storm behind us. Hopefully moving forward it will either be snow or rain and not the other.
 
If we somehow actually pull the next off without freaking dc and chicago getting it instead, it will be the an all time winter for sure.
