  1. Oh wow. I have some Cushwa pils in my fridge.
  2. Eh...I think he was honking that Xmas time pretty darn hard last year for the east coast. Then when it turned into a cutter he got very belligerent, defensive, and turned into this punitive anti-weenie persona.
  3. 43F and light rain. 0.15” so far. THIS is November weather!
  4. We’ve had several BN Novembers in the last decade. I think it’s maybe the one month that’s trending cooler in the most recent climate period? And that’s done and meant jack shit for our subsequent winters.
  5. Even JB is predicting a AN December I think so it won’t exactly be a shock. I don’t think we have a December 2015 redux with shorts weather to Hudson Bay though. My wag is that we get *some* snow and a chilly period (4-7 days) or two.
  6. Isn’t cankicking strat warming events and disruptions pretty par for the course? Background factors would support a SSW at some point this winter, but I’m game for vanilla below normal strat PV strength as well.
  7. Models won’t pick up on the Chicago cutter that gets our Christmas torch until 7-10 days out.
  8. Nice video winter summary by WBAL chief meteorologist Tom Tasselmeyer. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/winter-snow-forecast-baltimore-2023-2024/45791320
  9. 12z GEFS and GEPS both with pretty big shifts away from -PNA after D8.
  10. First really bonkers GFS run of the cold season. Fun stuff!
  11. So you’re saying seasonal forecasting is imperfect?
  12. CWG forecast is bullish for this winter.
  13. Pretty good ensemble agreement on how the pattern develops going into Thanksgiving week with a much more Nino-like look to things. Pattern shuffle starts with this big upper low crashing into the west coast around D8-9. That serves to undercut the ridge in Canada and ridging expands over AK. This doesn't look like a particularly cold pattern for us with a +AO/+NAO and the coldest air from the -EPO will dump out west first before coming east. But it looks a lot more Nino-like and actually looks a fair bit like the December seasonal forecasts. Should also get us some regular precipitation started again...
  14. @griteater with a very readable and snow weenie friendly winter outlook
  15. Multivariate ENSO index. Basically a more comprehensive way to measure the impact of ENSO on the ocean and atmosphere. The current MEI is basically “warm neutral” vs strong Nino pacific SSTs.
  16. I think we may get a BN month…probably January, February, or March, but I’d be very pleasantly shocked if the winter as a whole is BN.
  17. WBAL Mets mostly going for median or above snowfall for BWI
  18. Negative correlation should be opposite signed, right? So +NAO in November would correlate to -NAO December?
  19. Yeah it’s “fine”. I’m just always impatient for winter to show up. Doesn’t change my feeling about winter at all.
  20. Weather looks incredibly boring for awhile. Generally warm and continued pretty dry.
  21. Official reports have 1.6” in DC for the great Appalachian storm and 0.5” for Baltimore.
