GEM is super torchy with an AR event in the beginning of January.

Extrapolate that and it would probably lead to something good after day 10. NPAC ridge developing with a trough dropping SE out of the the GOA sliding down the BC coast

Just my opinion but the gem is in a better place than the GFS at day 10. Shift the ridge/trough position a little to the east and we’d be looking at serious cold.

Yeah not much stuffing in the models after Christmas, hoping we don't end up with a ham again by NewYears.

Yeah your right shift that turkey just abit east and we'd be looking at a serious meal then.

Wow, I see what you mean. This is why looking at the 500 mb anomaly is better than just looking at the temperature anomaly and meteograms. Sometimes it only takes a slight shift to make a huge difference in temperatures and precipitation.

No kidding. Just looked at and posted the 500 mb anomaly. This is why its better to not rely on meteograms and temperature anomalies but rather look at the 500 mb charts. Sometimes it only takes a slight shift in the pattern to dramatically alter the temperatures and precipitation.

Yes unless is cold and snowy on the coast.

O.k. kool, which happens afew times in our life time.

Is there a fighting chance Jr. Or do we need a Hawk Flamingo and Goose dance. It sounds like they are extrapolating each other on the AF tonight.

[SouthSardiswx]

It's o.k. come back Jr. l didn't swear at you.
