Cerro Castor ski resort is still getting heavy snow and it is blowing around. It's deep winter down in deep southern South America and the skiers there are happy. It's gonnabe the scene in the Mid Atlantic come December 2025 on into the first three months of 2026. Remember you heard it first from The Jebman!

The CANSIPS busted horribly on its July forecast from a 0.0 month lead, in terms of US temperatures. The Euro is a much better performing seasonal model, but I don't know when its monthly forecasts update. The Euro though performed really badly for last DJF, I'm surprised seasonal models don't do better.. they seem to heavily weight ENSO. The year before (23-24) the Euro kept showing cold H5 over the Mid-Atlantic for the Winter mean. We got almost no snow that Winter, and it was the warmest Winter on record for the CONUS. The -PDO/east-based El Nino analog composite for 23-24 worked very well, though.

We've had a really strong/consistent North Pacific High pressure pattern (-PNA), especially in February and March. It's a pattern, and is associated with cold-phase ENSO and PDO. The anomaly Feb-March 2018-2025, for a 8-year-consecutive period, actually breaks #2 on the all time anomaly list by +30%. Then in the Atlantic we have had 14 straight positive or neutral NAO Winters since 2011-2012. In that time, 18/18 Winter months (DJFM) with a NAO value >1.11 have all been positive [CPC]. We've had some -AO and -EPO periods during that time, which have delivered very strong arctic shots to the Midwest, but they have not been long lasting. Why is this pattern occurring? A possibility is the low sunspots 2003-2022, as that 20-year period had the lowest sunspots, since the 1800s. There might be a lag, so the strong rebound of Solar activity over the last 2 years may help change up the pattern going forward (my theory). We may also be in a decadal +NAO phase, which could last about 20 more years, just based on the wave fluctuations over the last 150 years. We also seem to be a the peak of a -PDO phase (cold ENSO-like), with October 2024 and probably July 2025 having the lowest monthly readings on record.. it could take some time to neutralize or change that long term state, which started in 1998.

Been hearing the crickets and Katydids for a bit now actually. Love it.

You’re such a data nerd. Love it.

Here was my data from the tropical system August 9th, 2024. My favorite stat there is I received roughly 1/4 (~22%) of my storm rainfall from that (6-12 hour) tropical system in 15min. Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

I'm almost 7 degrees colder than LGA only a few miles east.

I thought you might enjoy this. I focused it for Mt Joy. It's the precipitation recurrence interval for different time periods. Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

If only things cost now what they did back then. I was just a wee lad when it was this cold in 1965. In 1881 the year of my birth it would actually snow before the euro started to show the north trend

52/46 at 10pm. Windows open and let’s get those leaves changing .

The third H won’t be really noticeable in my hood for a bit.

Time for a new approach this winter: If any model run shows something that hasn't happened in 10 years...ignore it

No severe thunderstorms here today, but we did have a couple good downpours! Cooler weather ahead with lows in the 50's and highs in the low 70's. Surely Fall is approaching and before long it will be leaf season.

it's amazing how this forum was once a ACATT hotbed then you see and view the families, the friends appreciating and embracing HHH to the fullest; acclimating, adjusting, seeing and feeling it. It becomes second-nature, it's wholly embraced and predictable

thank you china

Thus far, that is the theme! But weighted HHH <3

Forest fire smoke

Hey at least we could check out early and just ignore this altogether till next hear, lol But oy...it amazes me how the snow completely fell off after Jan 16. I had been under the impression that change in climo was more gradual...but it's like somebody flipped a switch in 16, and the clippers disappeared and so did some of our ways of getting snow. I get changing climo but I don't understand why it happened so fast. I wish someone would study what exactly happened that year and why every year since has done, well....what we've seen.

Should be a great week for all. A little something for everyone

When did it bite them in the butt? And does 2-3 weeks really make that big of a difference?

I’m ok with Basallo. He needs to catch more anyway. But Beavers is ready. This has bit them in the butt a few times already and they should learn from that.

First night of crickets here.

Same. I just look at the ridge/trough orientation and glean some thoughts on source region. As depicted continental cold will dive east at times. That's the horse. Hopefully the cart bangs some precip into it when it matters. There could be a giant blob of blue heights in the Pac NW and we'd be better off discussing winter of 26-27 lol
