24 hour total for round 1. Again these values are kinda useless this far out, but fun to look at.

What gives me more confidence about this pattern verifying is the off the charts -NAO. Seems to me that it's driving the -PNA pattern. This has SSW written all over it. Models split the PV and a very strong -NAO develops and forces high latitude blocking. This could actually work out for us.

That said, there is still time for this to bust and while I am obviously biased, I think there is a good chance of an exciting winter event here.

Long range turns this into a 2020 event. Southern Washington and Oregon get so badly screwed.

The 2 event total using the 10:1 ratio map.

For entertainment purposes. I can’t believe I have to say that on a weather forum, but here we are.
