Hmm. The euro goes to nowhere land. The GFS is now on its own.

Unfortunately, models are once again backing off on the cold solutions. While I do expect more flip flopping in the models, my confidence in cold and snowy pattern around the beginning of February is once again decreasing. This could end up being a February 2017 situation where the models suddenly flip colder and snowier 4-5 days out, but for now its best to go with latest model trends, which suggest more of a +EPO pattern, which isn't favourable for arctic air in our region. The GFS is the closest to bringing at least a brief period of arctic air but it can't be relied on without support from the other models. Therefore, its an outlier until other models trend towards its solutions.

Life at the very top of the fog deck. One minute sunny the next I am in the soup. Either way the views are fun.

Yeah that EPS run was a real wet blanket on things. I'm guessing the GEFS will back off soon.

Yeah but there is still time for it to flip back to the -PNA/-EPO cold pattern. While I'm not confident that it will, it's still a possibility. :thumbup:
