Sun angles are rising. Heart of winter is disappearing fast. Need this within a week on models starting this weekend or I don’t think it’s going to happen. Good news tho, days start getting shorter in 163 days.

Yeah. The first ridge merger is just after Day 5. If the models were to trend with a successful first ridge merger we could be looking at something incredible.

BTW this is well inside 10 days now.

This could end being known as the Jekyll and Hyde winter. Both halves total opposites.

Between the two AI models I like AIFS. It looks safer. The graphcast gets us really cold very likely snow but it gets dangerous at the end. The AIFS looks more like something that would bring some snow and keep it cold longer.
