I got 2-3 inches of snow/sleet/freezing rain out of that pattern never seen so much snow on the roads like that and it lasted for a week.

And then 2012-2017 sucked for the I-20 corridor before the big Dec 17 snow.

The good news is that based on the NCEP MJO forecasts, we’re supposed to go into phase 6 of the MJO, and luckily miss 4 and 5. However, it looks like there is potential to go into phase 7, which @Webberweather53 has alluded to several times in the past for being our single greatest phase for snow.
I wish eps looked more like the gefs and geps with a piece of the ridge nosing north of Barrow into the Arctic so we could maybe dislodge or tap into the pv and get that into central Canada

Doubt to many people would complain if that happened again. One of my top five snow and ice storms!

I think in that stretch of winters we got 9 inches in total. Really colored my view of what winter is supposed to be like.
Also the overnight runs of the gefs and geps have a little warming at 10mb over siberia and a squeezing of the SPV. If we can at least disturb it and keep it from spinning like a buzzsaw over the pole we might be able to get some HLB and a payoff later

Unfortunately, it's phase 7 in January not December :/
The GEFS extended control is also nice at the end of December.

I wonder how many snow events busted for the south since the 2010-2011 winters in my book when I was in Birmingham those two winters was awesome we even had days of flurries after a snowstorm and those winters was cold I mean cold ?
Hey now, I like my waves sheared from cold vortexes above, no WAA = win in my book

Guys even though I’m up here in Montana I still think the winter down south has plenty potential just to me I think especially after the last two years of winter it’s looking much different down that way I mean just think about all the rain we were getting from October through winter the last two years it don’t seem like that this go round
No joke tho this cooler pattern honestly is looking much better and longer lasting than the last several December’s, let’s be thankful for that
slight risk is possible

That MSLP pattern definitely isn't gonna last long w/ a ridge over Alaska
I honestly think you like severe better than snow. Nothing wrong with that!!

He pretends to like snow sometimes, but it's clear his heart is with heat and severe.
During the spring and summer ? Yeah but now not as much, I just love taking shots of severe storms, I personally enjoy the thrill of capturing something on camera like for example lightning or a shelf or a wall cloud, already got my savings account ready for chasecation 2021, gonna stay with a friend in KS
I don’t like cold much, but I do love me some snow, it’s just been absent and severe this year was much more prevalent, so I’ve enjoyed severe personally way more this year

I could be off, but you strike me as the type of person who would go insane if you lived in a place like Buffalo that averages 100" of snow per year.
Maybe, i just don’t like cold since I’m a outdoor person and seasonally asthmatic, dry cold messes with my chest and makes it burn
I can tell you I miss my Marquette, MI winters. Had a 1984 CJ7 with soft top. This is no lie, the heater in that thing would damn near run you out of it even with snow, gale force winds, and -10° air temps. You literally couldn’t have the heat on full blast and wear a winter parka.

I want to experience Lake Effect snow just once in my lifetime. I've been through tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, nor'easters, earthquakes, floods. The one thing I havent been through is Lake Effect snow.
This is a great look for snow lovers!
Best part about it is that every September we would take to a shop and they would coat the entire frame, subframe, and body with linseed oil. Lasted all winter and that thing never rusted. That’s odd for up there with all the salt. Had a winter car too. A rust bucket POS 1979 Buick Electra 225 sedan. Had plywood floorboards, duct tape over the door and window seals, blankets on the seats where the vinyl was showing springs, hanging and then ripped out headliner, rusted out trunk so the jack and spare were in the back seat with the jumper cables.
Edit: heater in that didn’t work worth a tinkers damn. Started it in the mornings and let it run with a space heater on an extension cord inside on full blast to heat it up enough to be comfortable in.
