The cold has completely left North America . no signs of it coming back yet  imo 

The Gefs and Geps are torches on average the next 2 weeks. Eps do flip to workable and cooler regime post day 10, give or take.  Assume for a moment the Gefs and Geps are correct, but then flip immediately after today's forecast period. It would likely take at least another 5 days to cool down. That puts us to 1/20. I can't  recall any winter that went snowless so late into the season turn out to be anything other than a fail. If it is, so be it. I just would hate to have the Eps string us out only to join the other 2 down the road. Enough already. Poop or get off the pot "winter" of 22/23.

I'm giving it to jan 15th as I stated weeks ago. By then you will know back half of jan and what we are going into Feb also. If that looks bleak, then just pray for a storm at that point. Jan 15/16 only had like an inch of snow up until the blizzard in late jan

Writing is on the wall IMO. Swinging and missing on the December pattern set the tone for the season. Now the pac has taken over with all the cold gone in North America. We have gotten to the point where we can’t snow unless we have a artic airmass. Regular cold doesn’t do it anymore at this latitude. 
 

Last winter we had a solid January with two decent storms. I don’t see That happening this winter with the pv and jet ext

you're getting a nino pattern right now similar to 15/16 which had a firehose from the pac dec into first week of jan. That dec was warmest on record i believe. Yea, we aren't in a nino enso right now

My point is, that winter was very bleak with a torch Dec then it turned on a dime and we got a blizzard.

Why would we want to take?

I meant at H5, but yeah looking at ensemble members probably skewed by a few members that have  big cutters, one HECS. 
 

18z eps has like 4-5 members that have the norlun over us, but this is a long shot. Battling temps and norlun placement, good luck lol

Btw your time stamp doesn’t match mine. 
I meant later in the run….looks like a signal for some kind of coastal with just enough cold air available. Will be different in an hour anyway

I don’t agree with that. Yeah we are warming and only getting warmer, but you can’t blame everything on that just like you can’t blame everything on La Niña. It’s partly not snowing there because storms are cutting west of I-95 and you’re starting a bad stretch of winters, which has happened multiple years in the past pre-2000s. Sometimes you just have bad luck. I mean heck what are the chances of 2 historic storms hitting Buffalo while I got 1.5 feet out of the first storm and less than a foot in the second. It happens.

Well, there you have it.  0z Eps has caved, or is in the process, to the 0z Geps and Gefs. Compare 12z Eps at 360 hrs (top) to 0z at 348. Assuming all 3 ensemble suites hold with that look, most of January is toast short of a fluke in a crappy pattern. It is what it is as the saying goes.

GEFS dominant Ptype for friday night. Places that already have had snow this winter have the best shot. After the torch looks like we will remain on the south edge of any snow threats.

Brutal….the mjo isn’t helping anything. We are not seeing the cold phase response on the ensembles anymore. Time to prepare for record low snowfall.

From what I can see, the best chance for something in next 2 weeks is the period Heisy has stated in the jan 14-16th period. Thats a favorable look on ens currently. How it plays out moving forward, who knows, but thats the best look right now. Honorable mention would go to later next weekend, but the closed low northeast of main may carve that to shreds.
