BTRWx's Thanks Giving Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 This is an interesting chart posted from Perspecta showing record snowfall across North America in October! Also notice other years with high values. What I find strange is most high values seem to be ninos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my winter outlook, if you are looking for something to pass the time, while a team of molasses molecules counts the NV ballots. Most wintery period looks to be December, and potentially another bout in March, but it may very well just result in a cold spring...as last season did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sometimes our advanced NWP technology can be downright depressing. Decades ago we would have no idea that we were heading into an epic dumpster fire winter. I have heard it opined on here that something has been out of whack since the historic super El Nino of 2015-16. Maybe a historic super La Nina will knock us back into whack.

Of course --- NWP never verifies when it shows good for us, but modeled bad setups always verify 100%! IIRC, this time last year we had exactly that: no idea that we were heading into an epic dumpster fire winter. NWP and most outlooks were calling for a great winter with lots of potential. Signs looked great going into last winter, and that turned into a disaster. So maybe things look terrible going into this winter, but there's still plenty of time and luck for the reality to turn out at least mediocre (which would surpass last year) or get us somewhat close to median.

WEATHER53 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Things have changed over last 20-25 years. ENSO used to be the supreme determinator. It no longer is. Mid Atlantic for sure needs a favorable cold air delivery set up more than ever but the rest of the indexes and SSW and such is still largely unproven and the addition or deletion of one into a combo of other indexes throws the whole package off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 At DCA, prior to 2000 only 10% of winters had <10" of snow. Since 2000, 50% of winters have been below 10" of snow. The trends are undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestige Worldwide Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I just viewed isotherm’s winter forecast. As usual well thought out and probably right. Much below normal snowfall for me. And February is an all out furnace. Winter cancel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not as smart as he is, but my thoughts have been that Jan is our best shot for cold air outbreaks, with a possible +PNA and or -EPO. I expect a big fat zero irt help in the AO/NAO domain, minus some very transient bootleg ridging(fake -NAO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
