richard mann Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 -.. No staying power, more poleward, where and with looking at the idea of basic "cold" consolidation through the more extreme higher latitudes, both north and south, .. This, year. — "Cold's", gone "elsewhere", i.e. spread through some of the main regions that it would more southward, and from, some others, main and more to the north (N. hem.), that it would, or has been able to—either, more naturally. .. If we're "lucky", ... "things" will warm significantly over the next few years through the main mid-latitudes, and more specifically, more equatorial regions and zones, .. with main and more primary cold [then] being able better, to consolidate more successfully, both more northward and more southward.

snow_wizard Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I must admit Wednesday night through the weekend look pretty good right now. Looking like we begin with a legitimate cold air mass with some continental flavor and eventually go into a ridge. Should be some pretty heavy frost later in the week and into the weekend with sunny crisp days. Normally with a pattern like this the lows stay about the same through the clear period while the days get progressively warmer. It's been pretty much forever since we have seen a dry pattern with below normal temps. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

TT-SEA Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Awesome ski weekend in Idaho... today was incredible. Saturday and Sunday were warm with just passing high clouds and then 10 inches of fresh powder overnight on Sunday. Got a picture of my son after he fell... but it was such a soft landing that I think he enjoyed it.

Our high of 32 out here on March 2 wasn't too shabby either. Watching the rest of the country get consistently crushed as we move through March still has me a little jealous though. I'm always down for more cold anomalies. The west as a whole is definitely pretty due for some full latitude troughing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 CPC is showing well above average temps for the entire western US on its 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks. Not sure if I buy it though since models seem to be settling on the idea of brief ridging early next week with another trough moving in quickly.

Phil Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 NOAA's warm bias is getting painfully obvious. Sorry, but my backyard was not "near normal" during February. In fact, it was -5.9F below normal, overall. These two maps are on the same baseline. If this is the game they can play (and get away with) in the US, imagine what they're doing over the rest of the globe.

Phil Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 So Phil, are you saying the HPRCC maps are more reliable than the NOAA ones?Yes. Look into how NCDC "quality controls" the grid layout based on station distribution. It's laughable, and designed to trim the colder anomalies, while amplifying/expanding the warmer deviations.

Only about 30% of the country is painted in actual red on each map. Maybe only 20% in April and May. You just see it through cold biased eyes. I am just looking at it for clues on the overall pattern and where ridging will be more dominant this summer. It seems that the models are saying that is out West and that is nice to see.

The Canadian baselines are only 0.25-0.4 degreesC behind in average, depending on your chosen 30yr block. The problem is the modeling has run way warm in the long range (upwards of 1-1.5C over the northern hemisphere on the most recent Canadian NAEFS!).

I see the models depicting a ridgy pattern out West this summer. How far above normal is not what I care about right now. Tell me how you can look at those maps (which are a consensus of several models) and not see that the general theme is ridging in the West? That is not me seeing something that is not there... its pretty clear that is what it shows. You just hate the idea of that and therefore will attack the messenger.
