Pattern Januworry

16 days away, I'm tired of chasing cold, where is the ripeness, it isn't great if it doesn't snow, there was not enough modeled cold and/or snow on the run, where is the tpv, what was the r2r trend, not supported by the ensembles, it isn't as cold as 12z, the AO is positive, the L over Hudson Bay is going to screw it up, no -nao, is this good?
“ I actually would like models more if they showed a snow storm that means conditions are favorable to create one” smh people this morning it was all hands on deck we’re DONE.. and now as a lot have been trying to say on here DONT FREAK OUT this is a fookin good pattern CHILL we will get the weenie maps eventually

I don't understand the needing weenie maps at D7+ for validation of a great pattern. Very few times have we seen a storm from D7-10 work out and even from D5-7

This was the gfs from 12/30 for today, sorry TN your mega snowstorm isn't real bc the gfs didn't have it at D7

Long-term ensemble/model support is very important. Regardless of a specific threat, it tells us if we are interpreting the pattern correctly. So far I've been dissatisfied with the snowy runs, so I'm not excited.

Yep, even last winter during the feb fail for us anyways, there was constantly runs showing a winter storm somewhere, from the beginning of the look till the very end, with lots of ensemble support with a good snow mean/ice, even if it did fail for us further east, it showed us the glimpse of potential it had and there was still winter storms for areas west of us, hopefully ensembles can look better then next few days wrt the snow mean

Yeah we had mega cold and winter storms and in the end not ----....sooo.... since they aren't impressive we are supposed to say awww shucks pattern sucks?

Not necessarily, the pattern doesn’t look bad at all, I’m not saying disregard H5 because of a bad snow mean, but it probably shows that there’s some issues with it, and that it could be better, like it could be a pattern that favors more cold shots vs snow, or just doesn’t have the right pieces for snow, like I said even with the fail, if it wasn’t for the bad trend around the Aleutians, we probably would have scored
 
From new Euro Weeklies:

Who knows? Maybe this will be the period for big cold and a major SE winter storm? See precip map, which suggests Gulf low (Miller A?) is quite possible. Also, keep in mind that the MJO MAY be in the favorable low amplitude left side then. Keeping in mind that they likely have a warm bias at 2M:

Following up with the weeklies suggestion of cold and also a possible threat in the 16-20 day period, the 12Z CFS also has cold followed by Gulf action.

Here is the H5 pattern in the 11-15 bringing in the cold with a nice +PNA:

Once the cold has arrived, the 500 mb flow becomes moist WSW as the +PNA retrogrades:

But the 16-20 remains cold over most of the SE just like the Euro weeklies show:

Based on the temp departures there’s likely a lot of CAD here as well.
