There's basically too many pieces of energy/variables and the models are confused as crap.

Could be a very good thing or a bad thing. I kindof like the complete state of uncertainty. Exciting.

There are a bunch of small pieces of energy (called short waves) in the jet stream. It's not at all clear how they will phase together and that is the problem. This is an usually low confidence period.

Really meh on Wednesday-Thursday. I actually don't know what's going on with that system, but judging on what I'm hearing, I think anything more than a coating is a bonus.

Looking deep into lala land, the signals for the event 22-23 have legs. Really big legs...... Euro really wants this one, and by want I mean a... (idk if I should say it) KU. (Shoot, I said it)

Put that on the backburner and let it marinate for a few days, then check back in a couple days and see how it's doing.

You're talking about a KU ten days out?


Sorry, I'm ampedweenie.gif

You roasted me so bad with that video my ass is still hurting lol. I've been cracking up for like 5 mins! Maybe I shouldn't open Pandora's box haha.

One thing I neglected to see was that the NAO is expected to be positive. Without good blocking a powerful and slow solution, such as the ones the Euro ens are seeing, is less likely.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a KU? I feel like asking that question is kind of like this...


Shhh... a watched pot never boils and a watched storm never KU's. It's an unwritten rule of meteorology to not mention that classification this far out...

In fact I'm afraid I jinxed us.

Thinking about Elk on Sunday. You go their it be cool to take turns with you.

I'll be at Elk the weekend after Presidents Day. All tied up with the race season right now so it will be CBK for now till the first weekend in Feb at Blue then the afore mentioned Elk races. If you hit it that weekend, turns for sure.

People here are getting way ahead of themselves. It looks like several smaller system will be heading out to sea. I don't see a big storm here.

Huh? Saturday's chances continue to improve. Euro continues to remain bullish and the GFS is taking steps towards the Euro ensemble suite. Trend has been good so far.
