Is this what was referred to as an omega block last year? It seems to have
that shape to it. I seem to remember Will saying that it was hard to shift
if it got established.

That's nearly an omega block but it doesn't quite "tuck in" to
the south of the 500 mb ridge to really count.
Don't get excited. On the GFS forecast for the same time but
initialised 6 hours later there is barely a block at all, let alone an
omega.
