Sometimes I look, but I keep in mind my tagline at all times. Makes for a whole lot fewer letdowns.

What is your tagline?

00z ECMWF Day 1

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like the 00z killed the vibe. We're going to have to wait til around Christmas I think. In about 7-10 days things will really start picking up in here.

Nah. By Tuesday 12z or Wednesday 00z runs we will be in full blown model craziness mode. The weenies may come out to play too.

Ensemble mean looking aight. Pretty good retrograde signal, cold in the northern Plains.

Less than 50 hours until winter’s biological clock starts ticking like a mofo.

Sorry I was late. It's my month to shower. Speaking of.... That reminds me of this fantastic meme/whatever I made last Winter. C'MON!!!!

00z GFS Ensembles shows a fairly good signal for backdoor chilly air into Eastern Washington/Columbia Basin.

Because beyond hour 120 the models wear big red shoes and face paint and ride unicycles and squirt you with seltzer water from flowers, right???

00z CMCE (Canadian Ensembles) Day 10.5 really tried to get there. Close. Not on this run though. Not yet.

[Gradient Keeper]

On the 00z GEFS the westerly jet is handled similar retracting back to ~180 W/Dateline to ~170 W. On the 00z CMCE the jet is even further back near and west of ~180 W/Dateline. Aside from the WPAC, the westerly jet is shutting down completely.

I’m with Dewey. We re going to pay for this at some point.

Day 8

Jim loves the pacific being shutdown, but he won’t love it if we pay the piper with a January 2006/1953 redux.

Day 9'er

Op runs kind of all over the place after Day 6. Not a surprise or anything.

6z GFS in 2 hours 40 minutes

[Jesse]

Still cloudy and 43 here. Tonight was supposed to clear out and drop into the 30s but we’ll see what happens.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 10 begins to show a similar solution with the GFS. See the trough starting to cut-off, ridge retrograding, and Aleutian ridge sliding east-southeast. Likely merger at Day 11-12. Patience

PDX-DLS at near -3mb, so easterlies soon to develop west of Troutdale. That should clear most of us out east of I-5.

TTD-DLS: -3.0mb
