I am actually surprised as well... February has been golden lately.    That has me thinking it can still happen and this is just a temporary pull back.

Could be. I guess it would be unrealistic to expect the models to be consistent for a week and half. TIME WILL TELL.

Pretty dark up here currently as well...drizzle and 42. 

Indeed. Just a dark day in general. COVID variants developing drug resistance. UGH. What a hell we are living in.

Now watch the 12Z ECMWF come through in a big way and completely flip the mood!

A third vaccine coming on line next week... one dose and easy storage.     The fact that we have 3 vaccines in a year is nothing short of a miracle.

I am really starting to look forward to ALL weather lately. Cold/snow is great but all other weather is feeling kind of great lately for some reason.🙂

WTF is going on with the GFS?  It's taking a straight forward evolution and making it way too complicated.  FWIW the 18z EPS was just the same as the 0z through day 6 (as far out as it goes).  The 12z GEM was also just fine.  Looks like the GFS is tripping over its own feet.

The vaccines still work pretty well with the new variants, maybe not as spectacular as with the "old" covid, but still better than most vaccines in general.  And the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, while not as high with the prevention, is still extremely high, in fact near 100%, in protecting against death and hospitalization, even against the new South African strain.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb: J&J Covid vaccine trial yields very good result (cnbc.com)

"Across all geographies, the vaccine was 85% effective in preventing severe cases of Covid-19 after four weeks, according to J&J. Protection improved over time, the company said, with zero participants reporting a severe case after 49 days. Additionally, J&J said the vaccine provided complete protection against Covid-related hospitalizations after four weeks.

It has to be coming down to how each individual run is handling the MJO.  The GFS has been pretty wildly erratic on whether the wave will progress into region 7 or whether it will remain in 6.  The ECMWF is more confident on a progression to 7.

I assume you mean the 06Z EPS. 

And FWIW... the new 12Z GFS looks very similar to that 06Z EPS run at day 6.

Not sure why people think the GFS is gospel all of a sudden.

Yeah....I meant 6z.

The EPS has the all important back digging though.

Yes... the EPS is still decent.   Although I said last night that it was not spectacular like I have seen at times in the past (e.g. February 2019).

This is perhaps the highest amplitude LR cold signal on the EPS so far. Similar to Feb 2019.

Sorry Phil, this one is over. 
And because of COVID I can’t enjoy my yearly trip to the boat show. 
Up to .01” of drizzle on the day.

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!

One of these models is going to look incredibly dumb. Massive differences at day 6.

The 12Z GFS is stronger with the block at day 6.5... the 12Z ECMWF looks more crashy which would be a good thing in this case.

12Z GFS on top... and 12Z ECMWF on the bottom.

You can easily see where the GFS loses it in the evolution in the 6 to 7 day period.

Day 8... its all about the energy that is shown to move over the top of the ridge (ECMWF) or blocked from moving over the top of the ridge (GFS).
