Jesse Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very true. I was going to say the same thing. Jim said it could happen... but even he was thinking it might just be a warning shot at the end of the ridge. This is way beyond that. Very exciting stuff.Yeah, I’m not quite sure what to make of it. Hard for me to wrap my head around such a strong block having such longevity. But I’m sure it has happened in the past. Definitely not since I started following the models, though.

TigerWoodsLibido Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hopefully the models progress and get less backdooorish and more north southish.There is plenty of potential for a regional event later this month and into January. At least you get the cold during the backdoor stuff. In N/S events we are in boring southerly flow. Events with a broad and deep trough that digs way down to SoCal are a pretty good indicator of good things for all of us up here. 1 Quote Springfield, Oregon regular season 2023-24 Stats: Coldest high: 25F (Jan 14, 2024) Coldest low: 20F (Jan 14, 2024) Days with below freezing temps: 24 (Most recent: Mar 8, 2024) Days with sub-40F highs: 4 (Most recent: Jan 16, 2024) Total snowfall: 0.0" Total ice: 2.25” Last accumulating snowfall on roads: Dec 27, 2021 (1.9") Last sub-freezing high: Jan 15, 2024 (27F) Last White Christmas: 1990 Significant wind events (gusts 45+): 0 Personal Stats: Last accumulating snowfall on roads: Dec 27, 2021 Last sub-freezing high: Jan 16, 2024 (32F) Last White Christmas: 2008 Total snowfall since joining TheWeatherForums: 42.0" Sub-freezing highs since joining TheWeatherForums: 4 Venmo GoFundMe "College Basketball vs Epilepsy": gf.me/u/zk3pj2 My Twitter @CBBjerseys4hope 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front Ranger Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 If we do end up getting some cold air in the next 7-10 days, it will be an unusual progression. I can’t think of many times that we sat under a strong +PNA ridge for so long only to have it retrograde without a period of westerlies to break things up. Especially during a Niña. No doubt. It happened in 2014, to a certain extent, with a long period of +PNA ridging the second half of January followed shortly by cold air in early February. Same thing with 1985. It even happened in Jan 2009, although the cold air didn't end up all that cold (though still enough to produce some lowland snow and very chilly lows). 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.
