    Totally agree !

    Yes, they were. Thanksgiving 1971. 8 inches at my house. I remember it melted rather quickly and sliding off the roof in big sheets. Heavy and wet.

    I know in recent years October snow has been an omen for the Winter. That wasn't always the case in the Past. October 1977 comes to mind as measurable Snow was recorded throughout this Area on the 13th. That went in to be a long, cold snowy Winter.

    Brings to mind the strong '82-83 Nino. Very warm December but, basically average to slightly above average seasonal Snowfall . Oddly, even though December was much above normal we managed a major 6"+ Snowfall and a minor 1-3" deal just 4 days before the record warm Christmas here in SW Virginia.

    I see we have the battle between the warministas, the JB Jack froster's and the rationale's. Which will come out on top when all is said and done .... stay tuned for updates.

    Same instance around here. 37 at my house at 1721 ft. 32 at the Airport (k0vg) at 1411 ft.

    Good Winter here as well. 32.4" Season Snowfall.

    I agree totally with you Carver. I was just listing the fear of said outcome. Even the super Strong Ninos of 82-83 and 97-98 featured some major Snow Storms in our area. The PDO is the biggest concern I believe as an east based Nino doesn't appear to be a problem now . '09-10 however, had a -PDO(not as pronounced )and was snowy. Blocking was great that Winter as we all know. MJO pretty much a guarantee of traversing cold phases at decent amp. So, yeah it will have an affect. My thoughts at this juncture are an overall average Winter Temperature wise if blocking is dominant and above average Snowfall. If no sustainable blocking, milder than average with below average Snowfall. Pretty much what many probably think considering the Global Drivers. The -QBO along with the favorable MJO outlook may very well assist in accomplishing blocking scenario as is a no brainer.

    -PDO along with Strong El Nino should equate to Heavy Snows in at least Central and Southern areas of the West. The worries imo irt to downstream effects in our area are if the STJ comes further North in the West and Lp's forming,whereby possibly pulling the Polar Jet South westward and forcing downstream ridging and flooding us with warmth. We'll need strong blocking to counter that.

    El Nino Fall 2002-03 progressed similarly as I recall.

    Great work per usual Larry !
  12. Daniel Boone
    Yeah, boring if something unforseen doesn't happen. Dry up this way once again. Praying we get some rain from that disturbance tomorrow.
  13. Daniel Boone
    Pretty much my thoughts as well Jeff. With the PDO State, I fear a basin wide Nino, even if moderate may be of little benefit unless extreme HL blocking manifests; strong predominantly east based...Torch. If more of A Modoki sets up , even a strong Nino along with formidable HLB I think we'd come out at least half way decent as forcing there should poke an occasional + PNA in conjunction with HLB and get the job done .
  14. Daniel Boone
    Good point about PNA . The PDO may mess with any sustainable +PNA. Seems we just never get Driver's to sync and align for a decent Winter in the East anymore. If the Nino becomes predominant Modoki and HLB is dominate we should still manage half way decent at least, even with the PDO issue.
  15. Daniel Boone
    95-96 was weak Nina. 94-95 was Nino and a warm one at that.
  16. Daniel Boone
    Yep !
  17. Daniel Boone
    Morning low of 47.
  18. Daniel Boone
    Yeah, same here; just 0.15" this go around . After finally dousing away the drought last Weekend it's right back to the dry dome.
  19. Daniel Boone
    I have one of those units and it has served very well for 2 years. Very accurate Station, all parameters other than wind speed of wich appears a bit low . I would think more than likely Batteries in outside unit. If new one's doesn't work, could be contact moisture within the unit as sometimes the seal around the internal components can crack or come unsealed. Happens with high end Stations as well. I've had Sensor failures and they don't fail simultaneously unless for whatever reason the Unit gets fried. I have 3 Stations now and just lost contact with wind unit with one. Probably corroded or dead solar cell as it's been going for over 3 years. Dread the task of taking it down and getting it back up.
  20. Daniel Boone
    Yeah, we'll really be hurting in the Lee, Wise and Scott County area's as much of this Region missed out on the abundant Rains during Summer.
  21. Daniel Boone
    Amazing ! Wound up with a quarter of an inch here yesterday. 0.03" today. Paltry. Same story since April. It's as if we have some kind of Shield around here this Summer. August Total still above Average due to first half. 6.04" . May, June, July were each well below.
  22. Daniel Boone
    Sure is man. Totalled 0.27" yesterday. Enough to keep grass alive but, nothing for water levels. Sad. The persistence of the Pattern this Summer is rather uncanny. Complexes continue to travel in pretty much the same path ; not much shift at all. Nino really showing it's print along with other rather anomalous parameters. I'm thinking the massive Wildfires and the excessive smoke are having some effect, not only on sun filtering and T's but, also larger scale. What's your take John ?
  23. Daniel Boone
    Amazing how this patterns been. Very dry here as have only received 1.54" this Month with under 2 inches last month !
  24. Daniel Boone
    Wise Virginia, recorded 3 inches of Snow May 7 1989. Pennington gap, Va a Dusting that Morning with an afternoon high of 42. Eastern Ky and portions of extreme SWVA received up to 10 inches May 20, 1894. Even Lexington recorded 6 inches. Another System brought Eastern Ky several inches the 24th.
  25. Daniel Boone
    Yep, never fails when the pattern is what we had during Winter.
