Regarding the coming winter snowfall. As of August, 2024, CPC had us above normal temp for DJF, and near the storm track - indeterminate regarding above or below normal precipitation, as apparently we progress into a La Niña per their headlines-guidance. Attached are the SEASONAL (Nov 1-March 31) snowfalls in CP (with usual measuring uncertainties found in many datasets not directly associated with NWS office measurements). Also attached is the latest ENTIRE seasonal snowfall per official climate assessment, with 0.5" outside the Nov 1-March 31 primary window. I think we can acknowledge from the datasets presented, that a CP December of above normal snowfall bodes well for an above normal winter of snowfall. I have checked the regional boards adjacent our NYC subforum and have only seen winter outlook discussion on the New England subforum. Posts don't have to be many pages as I think the longer they are, the greater the uncertainty-caveats. However, anything posted in my opinion should be self assessed around March 31, 2025. I'll venture to say anything between 25-35" snowfall is near normal for CP (2013-18 seasons ending March 31) but others will probably disagree. The idea here... it's been awhile (2020-21 season) for an above normal seasonal snowfall in CP and generally in the NYC subforum (Wantage NJ 60" that winter) Seasonal forecasting specific parameters is not easy and statistically less reliable than a 1-3 week period from (T0), the moment of issuance.
