That's not good. You might need to take a step back from model riding and like you said, find more things to enjoy besides hope in snowy weather.

I'd say there is like a 0-5 % chance that the PNA reverts back to positive. Is Bastardi using Nito's account? :lol:

So a stalked PV shifting to the other side of the globe isnt conducive to positive anomolies towards the western conus?

That PNA forecast is garbage right now.

Cool your jets. There is 10 day to find out. What models are you referring to?

So all 3 ensembles, which show excellent agreement, have it wrong? Highly unlikely.

The PNA forecasts aren’t magical. They are based off models just like all forecasts and likely have a similar skill score.

Exactly.

Hey look, block sets up in a favorable position with a kona low. One issue is that the PV has retracted so theres little cold air to work with.
