Seriously doubt. Next 10 days at least will be normal to below normal, and by the time late september/early october arrives, climo works against 90 really really hard. Mid to upper 80s not out of the question last week or so of September though.
If we can get the western pac to cool significantly and the eastern pac to continue boiling then that pretty much locks in a great winter in the east right?
I see. I guess el ninos are typically more boom or bust, with one or two huge storms making the whole season. Just need to time that active subtropical jet with one good cold shot.
Central park's average is 30". If you use the older climo then it's like 25". Still though, even just a December with at least 5" is very strongly correlated to the total snow for the season.
Any reason why winters in the tristate area show their cards in December? December snowfall is pretty much the biggest indicator of whether the rest of the winter will be snowy or not. Very few low snow Decembers result in a good winter, and almost all snowy December result in snowy january-februaries.
It does not want to precipitate when its cold now. I don't know why that is the case. The pattern as he said for the last 7 years has been that it's either warm and very wet or cold and dry.
Agreed, but the reversion is rather extreme. I mean c'mon:
2021-2022: 17.9"
2022-2023: 2.3"
2023-2024: 7.5"
2024-2025: 12.9 " (despite the sustained cold).
That streak is more anomalous in my opinion than the snowy 2010s pattern.
We always find ways to avoid getting snowstorms in the 2020s. It's like nature is overcorrecting massively for the snowy 2000s-2010s. I really think no matter what kinda 500 mb pattern we get we aren't gonna get a >30" winter for the next few years.
The uhi is just relentless honestly. Our first frost dates are always at least a month later than the burbs. Luckily it doesn't seem to impact snow totals.
