MJO812 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 You know what's funny Majority of the winter forecasts back in October had this month being a snoozer for the northeast. A lot of them changed their forecasts in November and thought this month was going to be great . Maybe the original forecasts were right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the original forecasts were right I'm very happy with my forecast for the month....I think that I had near normal temps, biased cold early, and mild later....thought we'd have a window for snows early, which we did, and whiffed. Grinch looks on cue, as predicted. I also mentioned an RNA and gradient potential for a bit, which has been hinted at in the long range ensembles...we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LurkerBoy Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Compared to lots of Decembers in the past, even the zonality coming up is nothing too sad. Don’t know why all the angst in here seems to be negative. All the mets are saying patience will pay off. Sometimes there’s no hope in sight. I’m calling for 1 ft of accumulations inland by New Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring begat boring Fwiw - ...not much probably ... but, that means to me that there are possibilities on the table. That's my focus - not this downtrodden ...almost self-fulfilling prophecy of doom. You know ... I traveled through southern New Jersey for a stay ... spending time there in/around the Philly culture prior to a stop at Va. Beach over Thanks Giggedy ... and sampled in their ethos. I can tell you, Patriot's fans carry no torch that burns as brightly and hot as the self-loathing they have for their NFL team of recognition: the Eagles. They just one the g-damn SB 10.5 months ago and it's like they've been submerged in Hades poop for eternity .. my god! That? It is heaven compared to the woe-ism that goes on in here at times wrt drama-fixation in the models and more specifically (perhaps) ... winter ilk of weather. Interesting...

The last thing we needed was a pack destroyer In the mountains. Just compare December 15 with current and see where the resorts are at. Pretty incredible start!

Ginx snewx Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 1 hour ago, frd said: Certainly seems the atmosphere is acting more Nina and the SOI has been positive for a long while. As pointed out this AM by @bluewave it is very uncommon to be going into December with a positive SOI and a weak El Nino. Also, he mentioned the reason the cutter trended to the SE might have to do with the + SOI split flow and a stronger Northern stream via the +SOI . I am not sure what to make of it. Certainly the SOI was negative back in Sept and Oct a lot, but looking at https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/soi/ the trend to me is not impressive. And I know Ray mentioned yesterday the weak MEI number too. There is more to it than that with forcing , hadley cells, etc. but you bring up a good point. That map doesn't scream Nino, indices aside that's one weak arse look. But hey I found a new weather web page for me while checking it out. https://www.wmolc.org/ https://www.wmolc.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariof Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'll be interested to see where the CMC goes. At 00Z 96h the Euro had a low over Tupelo. The GFS was a bit west of Huntsville. The Canadian had the low over Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 5 minutes ago, purduewx80 said: it's you (or the data source/type). For the general consumer ... https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/enso_evolution-status-fcsts-web.pdf They're reporting ENSO neutral with also as you show up here, modest warming the equitorial Pacific ... *however, expectations are for El Nino throughout the next calendar year. Along with supporting data and so forth... My feeling is that too much emphasis has and is been(ing) placed on the summer thru autumn's ENSO status and how it will effect winter. Why? Not complicated really.. As the Hemispheric gradients steepen, that effectively activates the greater forcing tapestry ... (Uh, layout) In other words, neutrality doesn't intuitively suggest whatever we were seeing in those summer ending weeks and through autumn, has to be driving the pattern variances now. If the signal was more apparent earlier on, as the season's descent got under way...then thresholds and trigger points and so forth would have been succeeded and we might see some more obvious, correlated traits emerge. But, ...failing that (in the form of "neutral" - helloooo) gee... I wonder why we keep reading "...looks like Nina" or "...looks like Nino". Maybe it doesn't look like anything. I'm being snarky there a little of course... Yes, the leading atmospheric factors in the total ocean-atmospheric coupled model may try to 'bend' El Nino ...if indeed their "80%" chance parlays. And in that... maybe the winter overall gets better designed later in January ... Before that time, it's probably a coin flip pattern wiggling daily head-ache cornucopia of reasons to be irritable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
