Pattern Januworry

Based on GEFS, it has the western ridge retrograde west, it does not bring out the SER, but the really cold pattern may moderate end of the month. Who knows if it rebuilds or not. I suspect we will have 2 more opportunities for wintry weather before the moderation, let’s hope we score.

Well, if models are right, I have gotten what I wanted ...... a below normal January with a few good storm chances. If Feb is warm ..... so be it. I think most will be happy if we can get back-to-back events.
 
Almost comical at this point. This may be the greatest long lasting winter pattern I’ve ever seen.

I think we might have that final wave over the west and the pattern might change again. Ridge starting to breakdown off the coast.....It could still be really good though if we go wall to wall cold.
 
@GaWx what's the CFS showing?

Been watching the long range GFS and the ridge over AK has been wanting to roll over forward and send a trough back off the NW coast and the pattern comes apart. Hopefully, that's a temporary thing.
 
In retrospect, it has been hinting at this incredible cold and wintry pattern!

More from 18Z GFS on this epic fantasy:

This doesn’t even include the ice well beneath it!
Larry, I believe if the mjo can stay out of warm phases, we should remain cold into February. Currently, we have more like an niño atmosphere with convection around dateline from what I understand
 
Epic cold SE HH GFS means tossing not an option! Maybe 1984-5 not so crazy an analog from the chilly Nov to mild Dec to frigid Jan along with similar ENSO. Also, the similar ENSO 1933-4 and 1971-2 both had a frigid shot mid to late month with single digits ATL and RDU. Both of those had a cold Feb with a near boardwide type of winter storm in Feb of 1934 and Feb of 1972 was very icy, esp in main CAD region:

I don't know if anyone knows where to find this, but could somebody post the daily highs/lows for Baton Rouge for the 18Z GFS? That run is seriously crazy cold. Wow.
 
Hard to even know what to say. When is the last time we've seen this kind of pattern? I'm serious, I can't recall. Hopefully, it moves forward.
I don’t post much here or the other board anymore but I can say I don’t remember seeing anything like this. And I’ve been on these boards a long time. Lol!
Hope you’re doing well!

Good to hear from you, my friend. All is well here. Post away man. And I don't remember seeing anything like this either, not for the duration being forecasted anyway.

We're going to be burning the midnight oil over the next couple of weeks.
 
18Z GFS cold through the end fwiw. No, I will not beg for it to end if this is real. I’ll never get sick of it. I hope it stays cold with no end in sight! Here’s to a cold Feb and March, too!

Larry,
That +PNA is the chicken wire and duct tape holding this whole thing together ... just gotta hope the frail ol' southern "fix" holds ...
