Front Ranger Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Really good article on what we can learn from Coronavirus in China: https://www.vox.com/2020/3/2/21161067/coronavirus-covid19-china Does not support some of the notions that there are thousands of asymptomatic carriers out there: In Guangdong province, for example, there were 320,000 tests done in people coming to fever clinics, outpatient clinics. And at the peak of the outbreak, 0.47 percent of those tests were positive. People keep saying [the cases are the] tip of the iceberg. But we couldn’t find that. We found there’s a lot of people who are cases, a lot of close contacts — but not a lot of asymptomatic circulation of this virus in the bigger population. And that’s different from flu. In flu, you’ll find this virus right through the child population, right through blood samples of 20 to 40 percent of the population. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Pretty much everything the GFS has promised in the long range since November has happened... many arctic blasts and huge snowstorms. Obviously people are going to talk about it and that is fine. I will pay attention when the EPS shows something. The only time the EPS consistently promised cold this winter is the one time it actually happened for the northern part of the region.

TT-SEA Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Oh, sorry. Its subjective of course... but usually 10-15 day is considered long range.

snow_wizard Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 That is one nice looking GFS run. I almost can't believe we have the ECMWF and GFS so gung ho with the trough late next week. That one looks potentially historic for so late in the season. It sure makes me think back to the way this cold season began with all of those crazy unseasonably cold troughs.

Phil Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Well we certainly did see blockiness in late September and October. Only problem is that the PV screwed everything up afterward. If we can stay ENSO-neutral as Phil says we'll be in a great position next winter. I've heard this solar minimum will last a decent amount of time.ENSO neutral/very weak niña under mature -QBO/solar min conditions would have epic potential. Of course, nothing goes right these days, so either a mod/strong niña or niño will probably swoop in to screw it up.

snow_wizard Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Really impressive numbers showing up for next Friday on the ECMWF. Sub zero temps in the inerior of BC and afternoon temps only near 40 for the Puget Sound region with an Arctic front undoubtedly moving south. Truly something if this verifies.

Also. Pretty much everyone has been burned by the models several times this winter. True...but this looks like a potentially extraordinary situation coming up. We can get real snow in March. 1955 has been a consistent analog the last few days. No reason to think this isn't possible given the exceptional troughs we had early in the season.

Some seasons are all about the book ends.I’m not sure how the troughs 6 months ago have any bearing on what’s coming. Some seasons are book ended and some aren’t. I would love to see some extraordinary cold verify but you’d have to extrapolate beyond day 10 on the euro to get anything that resembles 1955.

So much panic over something most of us won't even need to see a doctor for. It's just sad and unfortunate that an assisted living facility is getting hit the hardest. 1 Quote (Previous name: MillCreekMike) Everett, WA (elev. 180’) 2023-2024 Snowfall: 1/11: Tr. 1/18: Tr.
