weathafella Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Folks, I think this forecast may be toast. I had a medical appt and stopped home to pick something up. My wife pointed out el gordo on my deck. I haven't seen squirrels this fat since this time in 2004. The SOB was kind of posing and I swear he was smirking at me....

klw Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 We once had a squirrel that fat living in our backyard. We had bird feeders and we put out corn cobs out for the squirrel. I eventually found him dead near our potting shed with no sign of trauma, I think his poor heart gave out from his obesity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 LOL...holy crap that thing is fat. 80"+ at BOS again? Honestly if I had waited until today, I'd be calling for 80-100. Crazy! Not only that, when I left work on the way to the doctors LONG BEFORE I SAW FATTY, I saw 2 squirrles f*cking on a grassy knoll. Too many signs to ignore.

weathafella Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Analog years:1950-51, 1964-65, 1968-69, 1970-71, 1988-89, 1999-00, 2000-01, 2001-02, 2008-09. Thankfully, the weakest of the list are 1999-00 and 2001-02. I base this on late Sept early October SSTA of the Pacific AND the Atlantic as well as other factors. ENSO sometimes doesn't add up well but so be it. Here is the winter composite (dec-march) using those years. Winters overall are average. <font color="black"><font face="Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"><font size="2"><font color="white"><font size="4"><b><div align="left"><a href='http://www.doc.gov/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='external'>U.S. Department of Commerce</a> | <a href='http://www.noaa.gov/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='external'>National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration</a> | <a href='http://www.research.noaa.gov/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='external'>NOAA Research</a></div></b></font></font><img src="http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/img/banner_psd.png" /><font color="white"><font size="2"><b><i>Search PSD:</i> <br style="padding-top: 0px;

I think there are some ominous signs for snow lovers right now. Snow cover and ice are lagging particularly in Eurasia. While we may well be in a long term negative NAO regime and most assuredly a negative PDO period, NAO may not cooperate as much this year given some early signs. Many have touted the gradient pattern and that fits most La Nina seasons. However the strength of this Nina is going to trump 2008-09 so while that is probably the best analog year, I need to be careful. So my forecast is very different than most and since I'm not predicting heavy snow outside of the usual spots, I expect to be pilloried. I don't give a f u c k. I believe December will begin very mild and the above normal regime will dominate most of the month. Cold periods in the 2nd and last week may give some hope but any snow will be quickly erased by the above normal pattern. January should turn cold and hold cold most of the month and I suspect for most of us, 75% of our seasonal snow will occur then. February should turn mild again until the final week and March actually may be a decent winter month. Temperatures: DEC: +4 JAN: -2 FEB: +2 MAR: -4 Snow...major climo centers, Kevin, Steve, Pete, Will, Ray, major climo centers: BOS: 31 inches PVD: 28 inches BDL: 36 inches ORH: 56 inches GINX: 33 inches GC: 340 inches RAY: 53 inches REV: 42 inches..
