Pattern January Joke

Yes, but it shouldn't be, according to the GFS, yet it is, according to the GFS.

The argument can be made that other things could be causing the jet to retract (MJO or other tropical forcing / or said tropical forcing in conjunction with the low frequency trop forcing signal - i.e. ENSO)...but anytime I've seen a +EAMT look like that on the models, the model throws out a jet extension over the following week, or like I stated, at a minimum, it keeps momentum maintained in the jet

I was going to post some things from JB, but every time I do, you get these same few on here that ALWAYS know more than JB. But they are always here telling the Pro Mets where they are wrong, etc... They really amaze me with their wealth of knowledge. :rolleyes:lol

I have been listening to JB for around 40 years. Many get upset because he doesn't put snow in their backyard. He will tell you to listen to your locals however his job is to see it long range. Nobody has been more accurate than him on long range pattern recognition. Is he always right? No, but hits more than most. He is also good at hurricane prediction and generally does good. This year, everybody missed on hurricanes. Funny thing when he misses he will admit it. Some like to bash him only follow his tweets. I have purchased his site from accuweather to weatherbell as it helps us for our work both in winter months and non winter months. I know several state DOT follow him for planning ahead as well. One thing about him is he doesn't change everytime a model changed like many do. He does have on his site now where you can give your forecast and compare to his. I guess those who think he is horrible should try that. I am sure he will retire sometime and will need somebody to replace him. For the record he said alot LOOKS like 1985 so when temps don't get as cold as they did in 1985 doesn't mean he missed it. He even mentioned 2014 a week or so ago as did BAM and WXSOUTH.

When the models started showing the warm up that's coming he already mentioned that earlier in December, so some started cliff diving. Now there are others that sre seeing what he has been talking about so who knows maybe he will be right once again on pattern recognition. He never said we would get snow after snow. Did say this set up could produce though farther south. We shall see. BTW Happy New Years!!
