Pattern November 2024 💤 🔥

How can the ICON be so far off vs GFS? I like the ICON model, personally, as it seems to perform well in mby.

00Z ICON/Euro were pretty much in agreement out to 144. And I'm actually not a big fan of the ICON, personally haha, so I'm not trying to defend it.

That looks familiar. It would be nice to know what causes this pattern to dominate every cold season, regardless of ENSO, QBO, solar, or whatever else.

The new toy that seems to predict everythinis now is the MJO, and one could point to it living in unfavorable phases. But obviously, that has not always been the case throughout history. Something is clearly influencing that behavior.

The 6z GFS looks a lot better, and the Euro eventually does cool down in the east. But we're talking toward the end of the run again.

2009-10 was a great winter, so I guess maybe it bodes well. 😆
I like your positivity lol. And you're not wrong, 2009-10 was amazing from a cold and pattern perspective. That is pretty wild to think that the 6th coldest winter all-time at RDU started out with the latest fall freeze on record. I'll confess I did not know (or had forgotten) that until now so thanks for bringing this up haha!
 
I'm at 1.82" and still more coming down. How did you do?
I got to spend a whole 18 hours at home from Spain after driving to Durham, so I’m not able to check my physical gauge, but the tempest shows 1.1”. If I had to guess, 1.2-1.3”.
