we'll have periods of sun each of the next few days, even if it's just for an hour or two. The sun came out today for about an hour.
-
but how is it a la nina like pattern with so much rainfall?
-
We'll likely get one next winter with a la nina happening after an el nino being one of our best indicators for above normal snowfall.
-
and February in the 80s was pretty warm....
-
There's an even bigger picture here. An NOAA scientist just talked about widespread coral bleaching events being connected to this warming and how they are becoming more and more common and how soon enough we will have widespread coral bleaching all across our oceans because of this unnatural warming and how it has and will continue to disrupt marine ecosystems and at an alarmingly accelerated rate.
-
the sun is out here now! -
The December part makes a lot of sense though, when December sucks usually the rest of the winter sucks too. 1982-83 and 2015-16 were one big storm winters, so they wouldn't really be considered "good" winters anyway. El Nino or not, the next time we have a very good winter, it will have to get going in December. Backend winters are as bad as backend snowstorms.

Same as the Ravens lol, can you imagine fumbling the ball on the 1 yard line in the 4th quarter? If that doesn't happen they win.
-
it hasn't gotten below 17 here
-
Extended fall
-
wow and watch them hit 40C again next summer
-
there was wet snow here for 2 hours but everything cleared out right around sunrise
-
Is it because the el nino isn't weakening as fast as it was supposed to? Don posted some interesting data about strong el ninos that weaken more slowly than others do-- they tend to be less snowy and more mild.
-
I dont remember this much rain in 97-98
-
and even when the cold air came in, the snow did not stick
-
Don it's also useful to remember that there was a major storm on Long Island in February 2016, it was just barely east of Manhattan, and even there resulted in a big crane accident and death.
-
if we really are in a negative PNA cycle it could be a decade or two before we have that again, you'd think it would happen in a very strong el nino but it hasn't. It makes me wonder if it's many years before we get a sustained positive PNA, what our climate will be like when it does happen again.
-
yup, it's at that point we will be looking forward to baseball season, spring training will be starting by then too
-
it's actually awesome we're going to see SUNSHINE AND NO RAIN. We need the break.
-
it's why elevation is the #1 factor in snowfall regardless of pattern
-
If it lasts for 30 years trust me, the next "good" period wont be as good to us, we only have to look at the climate projections to see that.
-
but with the warm el nino December too enso really doesn't matter anymore this doesn't have anything to do with la nina or el nino it's simply warmer like it has been for years now
-
if it's in a la nina base state why aren't we colder lol?
-
Well, this is interesting, how far behind 2016 are we in terms of El Nino temperatures Chris? How are we so warm when the actual response in the weather is more like a La Nina?
-
what caused the snowflakes to be so big? I wonder how large the largest snowflakes ever photographed were? 1887: Snowflakes "as large as milk pans" fell at Fort Keogh of Montana. The flakes, which were said to measure 15 inches across and 8 inches thick, hold the unofficial size record!
