It’s hard to get to normal when we’re plowing these heat plumes toward James Bay. Like you said, lots of over the top heat waves for NNE over the last few years.
My forecast for his winter forecast is:
11/15: Going according to plan
12/13: First slight concern
12/29: First legit concern
1/14: Anger over a missed system
1/22: Need to see changes ASAP
2/10: On life support
2/13: First fantasy baseball draft reference
2/26: F*** winter
4/3: Prelim thoughts on winter 25-26
Extended looks warm overall, but there is some cooler air lurking to the north in the medium range. It wouldn’t surprise me if we wedge up here one day.
