The SSW talk is getting old. It takes so many variables to fall into place to get snow around here. Until we get consistency across models within 120 hours there's not much to get excited about. Hope February delivers the goods!  

This SSW may very well be a dud on this side of the pole, certainly not on Putin’s side.

EURO at Day 4 has the healthiest ridge merger, stronger evolving block.

I don’t know about weather technically but I do know that it frickin fascinates me. And I love snow. And that I’ve had too much boxed wine.

Do you guys feel lucky with the day 8 ECMWF?  Day 7 looks like things could go well.

PV over Sask.  Not bad.  I say 55% day 8 looks good.

Day 8 could look a lot worse that's for sure.  I like the fact this is obviously still in flux and the models are moving around a lot still.

I like how there is such a big area of low heights inland on this run.

Winner at day 9!  Northerly surface gradients.  No digging out over the ocean.

That trough over us sure is pretty though.  There is still hope for this to be good.  The first challenge was getting rid of that disastrous digging out over the ocean late next week.

No matter what day 10 looks like I will gladly take this ECMWF run.  Lots of chilly weather in the 4 to 9 day period at least.  Big improvement in the believable range.

This was a nice improvement compare to last night’s run at the same time frame. I really like the fact that it’s not digging the trough out to sea.

EPS is way better at least in the believable range.  Much less digging over the ocean.  Looking at last night's 0z this is a really good trend right now.  Realistic snow threat being shown on this run.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...Aforementioned high
pressure will prevail on Wednesday into Thursday with temperatures
cooling to just below normal. Ridge shifts off to the east
Thursday as large upper level low across the eastern Pacific drops
southeast. 12z ECMWF has come more into line with 12Z GFS and
drops the low south but is more to the west and south as it heads
into California. GFS takes the low in closer proximity to
Washington as it heads into Oregon - with wrap around precip
affecting portions of the area. This would suggest the possibility
of a rain/snow mix in the lowlands but latest ensemble solutions
have backed off on the possibility of snow with only a member or
two showing anything. Ridging likely rebounds for later Friday
into Saturday with cooler northerly flow. Things become more
interesting for the end of the weekend into next week as ensembles
highlight a better probability of below normal temperatures and
snow chances for the lowlands. At this point, it's anyone's guess
so continue to stay tuned!

Now the the operational, EPS mean, and EPS control all show the trough not digging too far west until after day 10.  You have got to love that!

Phew, still nothing in the believable range on the Euro.

You really get tiring.  Looks like a pretty solid run to me.

Even the stuff beyond day 10 looks better on this EPS run.  Every time period is improving right now.

The EPS shows vodka cold beginning to move into AK, the Yukon, and slowly spread southward late in the run.  The control shows major cold almost here by the end.  Maybe all of the stuff this month will be just an appetizer with the main course arriving in early Feb.

18z and 00z GFS/GEFS and 00z Euro/EPS all showed improvements with the trough axis within the semi believable range. Considering how close the disastrous 12z runs put me to the edge, it's nice to see a slight trend for the better. Hoping models continue to look better down the home stretch. 

If the trend of the EPS continues to improve at this rate we will talking about great things by this time tomorrow.  Tonight's run is pretty darn good in the 6 to 10 day period.

Hopefully this continues and we get some amazing weeklies on Monday
