Classic ICE STORM pattern

EDIT: After looking at a the EPS ensembles just about all 51 have winter storms, many with a setup with snow on northern precip shields then strong icing below that. Just kind of confirms that particular 0z look.

Both GEFS & Euro have that pattern, the Canadian ensembles not having it & keep SE ridge suppressed.  Now the question is are the ensemble showing a LA Nina bias or is it reality.  Maybe a little bit of both?

 The reason I say that if you look at East Asia it doesn't need it 1st show at the beginning of the pattern change the ridge influence although weak in what would translate to JAN 22-27 but around 27th to finish out JAN the hammer drops..

 This is clearly seen compliments of the 0Z European East Asia forecast:

 So it's possible the Canadian ensembles are seeing what will happen & causing it to be earlier with no ridge & the Euro & GEFS are seeing the earlier & taking it out to far.

Euro & Canadian are both cold the difference is the Canadian is a snow storm pattern while the Euro sets up a warm air overruning cold air/ice storm pattern. 

EDIT: it's also possible ridge influence comes & goes...comes & goes & ensembles are trying to make sense of that as well.

Only 5 more days of torch to go (hopefully). Concerned about the rain Monday, as that could be the knockout blow to what ice has survived the past 17 days of April-like weather.

Pewaukee, WI (just west of Milwaukee)

thats right, yes your ice fishing season is a bit longer than here in Ohio 😂I was able to make it out 2 days post Christmas cold before the torch settled in. I am hopeful to get back out again this year but its also not going to happen where 7'' builds in 4-5 days, around here, that was unprecedented. So we'll need a steady 2 week cold snap

If cold is coming end of January, the GFS OP certainly doesn't see it, at least not yet. More of the same pattern (rain every 3-5 days) through end of the month if it were to be believed. But ensembles might be more reliable in these type of scenarios.

I keep thinking what this Winter would be if it wasn't for those 4 days around Christmas. It would be like an endless Fall.

Have faith.  We have been assured by the cold weather evangelists here and in the outside world that winter’s wrath is preparing its charge.  This has been written, so it shall be done.

Do you ever do anything here other than to bash people who speak of cold? Why don't you do that on the warm side?

I don’t mean to, really.  Have some fun.  Weather isn’t that serious, is it?  Warm or cold, it is what it is. 🙂

"In these types" ?? Ensemble means are more reliable in all scenarios. The OP is just one ensemble. The mean is 31 for GEFS & 51 for the EPS.

Why do people/mets even bother looking at the Op then? Just curious. I can take it to a different thread if OT. Thanks for your inputs.

The operational run is theoretically the most representative of the real world and therefore provides a guess of what level of impacts to expect.

Each ensemble member perturbs the initial conditions as a representation of uncertainty or measurement error and therefore provides a range of possible solutions.

Most people here post ensemble means or averages of the range of possible solutions, which smooths the detail provided by individual members and operational runs. Those details change every run, but they still provide a ballpark first guess of how severe (or not) the impacts could be. It's not advised to get hung up on operational runs, especially beyond day 2ish.
