Pattern Novemburrr

Pretty classic Siberian Express pattern on the 12z GEFS w/ a ridge over the Bering Strait & Chukchi Sea (-WPO). Totally up in the air where all this cold air in NW Canada & Alaska eventually ends up by Thanksgiving

Probably gets dumped out west and when it does, keep the gloating to a minimum and I'll keep the index finger off the ban button ?
 
And to think people prefer ninos over sitting on pins and needles during ninas wondering whether or not we can mute the SER and get the cold in

Have to agree w/ your general sentiment here. This modeled pattern is teetering on the edge between major failure & pants explosion. What you really need is an aptly timed thin/tall ridge along the west coast/+PNA; it's not uncommon to see NWP models never see these coming until you're inside the medium range. Too much GOA/AK trough (which suppresses the SE US ridge) & all the cold air will remain in the NW Territories + Alaska.
 
I honestly can't think of too many times I've seen a cut-off blocking high being explicitly forecast on an ensemble mean at day 10.

EPS also is explicitly forecasting a cut-off blocking high near the Bering Straits around day 9-10. Pretty remarkable for both ensembles to pick this up so early

If we can amp the waves & shorten the wavelengths a little in the N Pacific/shift the west coast ridge a little more west, this is great pattern for me to get snow.

I bet everyone that reads this is on-board until the last few words of this post

Here let me try…
If we can get a little less amped waves and lengthen the wavelengths a bit in the N pacific as well as shift that ridge a bit east on the west coast this would be a good way to get some snow in the SE

Wow that was fun
