snow_wizard Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The lack of enthusiasm on this forum right now is enough to suck the energy right out of me. Still a realistic chance of another cold pattern by Jan 10 or so, but nobody wants to hear about it apparently. One thing you have to say is we have had no problem getting cold air masses in here the last two winters. The snow will come eventually. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

One thing you have to say is we have had no problem getting cold air masses in here the last two winters. The snow will come eventually.There really is nothing in the models right now that would say we have a decent shot around the 10th other than if this happens or that happens. I am not saying it won't happen but the models are depressing when taking all of the major ones into account. Plus, without snow again, this cold snap is really insignificant. At least you had snow during the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Didn't I mentioned in my 5:10 PM Analysis about the blocking ridge holding stronger than modeled? Seattle NWS hints at this.... I am quite intrigued. Should point out that a new monster low around 950mb is just off Kamchatka nearing the southwestern Bering Sea. That could keep the Alaskan block much stronger. Just throwing that out there. Everything hinges on this, and downstream energy east of the dateline.-------------------------------------------------------------------AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA900 PM PST TUE DEC 30 2014.SHORT TERM...A 500 MB BLOCKING RIDGE EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN ALASKA DOWN TO A 583 DAM CENTER AT 43N 134W.

snow_wizard Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Looks like the GFS is indicating a significant pressure crash over Australia with much higher SOI values than we've seen in months coming fairly soon. It indicates Darwin could drop below 1000mb which normally foreshadows good things for the NW. January may indeed end up being worthwhile for us. I really don't care what the models are showing for the NE Pacific / North America after day 6 or so right now. A lot of factors (especially in the tropics) seem to be lining up well for us. I'm not making any firm predictions but the chances are good we will be seeing some nice model runs fairly soon. In the bigger picture I'm not as sure the last half of the winter will be a disaster as I had earlier thought. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

richard mann Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 .. Also kind of an inquiry, if looked at otherwise. And. With perhaps not forgetting that "attitude" can sometimes be difficult to pin down where considering text-written comments posted, you may not want to let it.
