The three model runs I've watched over the last week have all been the top three worst. Going to do something else now every six hours! :D

Just like with sports betting, you won’t always have a losing streak. A little peek won’t hurt.

Ignoring placement, this is some great high latitude blocking, some of the best in quite a while. If anything close to this occurs, someone in the midlatitudes is going to get some major cold. Who knows, it could even be us...

I don't see one single model trend suggesting a pattern that would bring much needed precip to the majority of the western part of the country that has been bone-dry for much of this fall and early winter. We desperately need a more zonal flow to bring needed moisture-laden storms off the Pacific, rather than storms diving south from Canada over land with little to no moisture to work with!

A meridonal pattern like this will still greatly benefit your area as it suppresses things south. And California's biggest winter precip events often evolve from the southern branch of the jet strengthening enough to eventually undercut an offshore block... while remaining suppressed south over your area.

This is a win-win pattern for the West Coast. More of the Aleutian Low dominated, zonal pattern that we've seen will only mean a continuation of the northern storm track.

She’s busy thinking about where she last put her coat and booties because she knows she will need them real soon.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

The problem is that the southern branch of the jet has been practically nonexistent this season and there hasn't been a lot of undercutting patterns recently.

Right, that's because there has been nothing to undercut. The pattern for North America has been incredibly zonal overall up to this point, with strong westerlies well up into Canada.

The southern jet usually really strengthens as January and February get going and it will happen again. In the mean time, a further suppressed pattern with cold storms dropping down into the SW is also very beneficial.

It's probably not a big shock that the vast majority of CA's wettest winter months were pretty cold to the immediate north, splitty Ninos notwithstanding. Lots of offshore blocking in many of those.
