1079mb high in Greenland on the 12z FV3 lol I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a high forecasted that strong ever since I’ve been following the models the past few years. This is now the second time in the past 3 days the FV3 has gone bonkers with blocking up north.

Now I know all of yall are starving for snow, but man the fact I haven't had a storm drop 6+"(and there's only been 3 storms to drop 4-5") of snow the last 4 years annoys me a bit lol. Crossing my fingers we all get what we want this winter lol.
That's crazy. I would be annoyed in your position as well being that far north and having that crappy a history.

Models can go bonkers in Greenland with big HP when the North Atlantic is effected by -NAO or -AO or both. This happened a lot in 2009-2012 period. Greenland is high in elevation though, mean altitude of the ice sheet is over 5-7k feet, so it's not true surface HP. Kind of like how models can show very high pressures in the Rockies but lower once it hits the plains.

How's it looking for Central Florida Mid Feb? Cold or will they be bubbled out of it?

I gotcha! I like the blocking up there though and off the west coast of Canada. Looks ideal.

This seems like the best possible setup and I’m super excited.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
I would like the core of the trough to be a bit further west, but it's far enough west to deliver with a continued train of systems. Just please be dry for our yearbook work days. Final deadline in a month....

12z Euro ensembles is rocking it. Next week's system (for now) looks like snow a bit up to our north but who knows about that yet models are not in agreement. Some cold air spills southward (Euro has near 20F for lows) but then the EPS goes nuts after and spills the goods straight down the US. Blocking on either end.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
The CPC has most of the cold missing most of Texas to the east..the Euro shows it coming straight down towards Texas. I think the CPC is off with this.

Lol. Even if it was in the 60s a few days after that (unlikely with that much snow), it would take a solid week or two to melt all that off. That member went crazy.

I'm more of a glass half-full kind of guy....living below the 34 deg N parallel, from this far out give me a 33% chance of greater than 3 inches of snow ALL DAY EVERYDAY

I know the model runs have been great today which has me extremely excited but today is a big bust on the rain so far. Maybe we can get some later this evening.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Wow! Dayton Ohio has finally been placed under a winter storm warning for the first time since February 2015. The drought still lives here in Columbus for the time being, but at least my friends just west of me have something to celebrate about.

Re: Texas Winter 2018-2019
Liking what i see. Whats been missing from our prediction this winter has been Greenland blocking. FV3 wasnt shy about that one bit in the long-range. What a dream scenario at the end of that run.
