January 2025 Forecasts And Discussions

[Hawk]

Its pretty apparent that we are in the midst of a #patternshift. Where it goes in the mid to long range, who knows. But chances are we will be getting something different than pineapples. Enuf is enuf!!

My guess is chilly NW flow leading to snow chances towards the end of this month/start of Feb, as well as a good ol Snowfestival and cold temps, before or after.

When theres a future, there is always hope buttees

Americans reacting to how their national "model" performs is a microcosm for how delusional they are in general. I wouldn't be surprised to hear on the news that some dude shot his computer after another wayward GFS run.

All that just for maybe a day of snow is truly mentally insane to me. They treat it like life or death. How things never change on the AF.

That's true Weedmonster that's why l step back from model riding for my health it's not fun during times like this.

Makes sense !

I used to have that level of emotional investment, then I had a wife and kids...

It's ridiculous how emotionally invested they get with maps showing potential scenarios 10+ days out. Every 4-6 hours with some of them staying awake overnight.

Best to assume we are going to see climo prevail and enjoy the sunshine before wet and seasonal weather returns.

Honestly, I think I remember one year we were six days out from a potential blast, and I believe it may have been Rob. He said he stayed up for 23 hours model-riding, and his family was getting angry with him and his health was suffering.

Like, what?

It's nice to see the EPS being the most bullish on the cold. The GEFS is the obvious outlier.

Yeah... I reached 9.6C after a low of +0.3C

Yesterday was 8.0C/+0.2C

I'm learning that living on a hillside isn't great for getting cold nights (I kind of knew that before, but it's not the same as experiencing it). Most of our cold weather is inversionary, so the lower the better (or move up to 3000 feet).
