    From my recollection, you comment on seasonal models as much as everyone else. If you want to say commenting doesn't have anthing to do with belief in them, then ok. But I don't think anyonevon this Board believes seasonal modeling is gospel, especially at 5+ months. You misunderstand the surrogate intent and obviously deflect.
  2. mitchnick
    Then why use older temp forecasts to argue for warmer conditions? Be honest. If the Euro came in this month, or does in future months, that the NE will be a torch this winter, I suspect you, or one of your surrogates, will be all over it.
  3. mitchnick
    If your point is that seasonal models are generally inaccurate, I agree. But they do offer guidance and leave it up to pros and weenies to put whatever weight they choose. But what we're seeing this year so far is a "rough" consensus similar to this month's Euro. At this point, that consensus is encouraging unless one is hoping for a national/worldwide torch.

    And don't forget that the last 2 winters the Euro seasonal was too warm in the NE. And since it is impossible to have statistical data that supports the notion that the current Euro seasonal is inherently biased too cool for Niños in its current upgraded version (and I don't see that being possible since there have been upgrades since the 2023 season), I honestly don't see the relevance of prior year forecasts. All we can take away, imho, is that the Euro seasonal has been inaccurate with its winter temp forecasts in the NE 3 out of the last 3 years, twice being too warm and once being too cool. Edit: And let's not forget this month's forecast looks very similar to other seasonal modeling.

    Just a WAG, but I think this week marks the beginning of a transition to legit Niño conditions i.e. wetter and cooler than normal. We'll see.

    Just a WAG, but I'd day there's a 5-10% chance the winter (DJF) north of MD/PA border will average BN, but a 50/50 chance 1 month could end up BN with February being the best chance. Fwiw, I think March has a 60-70% chance of BN, though only slightly.

    Same here in Hanover and 1.28" at York airport 8-9 miles to my ENE. 6." Saturday night.

    Getting crushed in Hanover. Yay...I'll get to mow sooner.

    Get that ridge max in SE Canada 100 miles further north than progged and we'll be fat city.

    Surprisingly, Euro seasonal still not very impressed with ACE forecast.

    New Euro seasonal has potential written all over it. Very wet with coastal storms clearly favored. Temps look to cooperate (only a little AN Nov-Jan) more than one may have thought with s Niño as strong as advertised. Here's a link to the free parameters. Unfortunately, they only go out to January, but if what it's showing holds for next month's forecast, Feb (March too?) should be rockin'. https://charts.ecmwf.int/?facets={"Product type"%3A["Experimental%3A AIFS"]%2C"Parameters"%3A[]%2C"Type"%3A[]%2C"Range"%3A["Seasonal"]} How's this for a mean Surface pressure Nov-Jan?

    I started to say I agree, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. Lol j/k So, the latest Cfs2 for December! Lol
  14. mitchnick
    Couldn't agree more. It tells me that the other seasonal models aren't far off with their progs of a winter offering legit chances for snow and cold, obviously interspersed with AN periods that will push the mean to only a little AN. Of course, without seeing the monthly maps, there's a but of speculation on my part.

    Euro seasonal temps and precip thru January don't look bad to me in the east. Very wet with surface temps dropping as we head into winter. I bet February would look great, but the free maps stop at January. H5 looks reasonably tasty too imho. Naysayers, have at it. Lol Link to free parameters. https://charts.ecmwf.int/?facets={"Product type"%3A["Experimental%3A AIFS"]%2C"Parameters"%3A[]%2C"Type"%3A[]%2C"Range"%3A["Seasonal"]}

    I thought this whole thread was a fallacy! Lol
  17. mitchnick
    Now you've done it. Just wait for all those 246hr Gfs snowstorm maps this winter from us weenies.
  18. mitchnick
    I'm interested to see if the new Euro will light up in the tropical western Pacific since it was BN last month and only slightly AN in the eastern Pacific.
  19. mitchnick
    With the projected strength of this Niño, anything on our side is encouraging at this point!
  20. mitchnick
    I'm inland at 600', but the hills to my N & NE would be the better spot. Of course, if that was to happen, I'd say it would then be a shutout for most until January.
  21. mitchnick
    Warm early with better chances after the New Year is pretty much what current seasonal modeling (that goes through at least March) is showing. That said, as was posted earlier, with October Niños usually BN, I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the east, preferably higher elevations, get a fluke October or early November snowfall. Just a hunch.
  22. mitchnick
    The exact opposite. I posted earlier that I liked the fact the Cansips faded the Niño west over the winter. He didn't quote me because that the way he operates.
  23. mitchnick
    Sad
  24. mitchnick
    That's not east based. I like the way warmest anomalies fade west.

    Good news
