Late Fall/Winter 2011-2012 speculation thread

Does he post it anywhere else besides FB?

No, but he does do a seasonal special for the seasons that's a 1/2 hour in length and goes into great detail. He is Dave Murray of Fox2 St. Louis and his long range stuff is pretty damn accurate. He is into JB a lot but he is very good and a pro. Thinks winter will be fierce the first half but also thinks the second half has high bust potential should the SE ridge become a player. I will post the link for his winter cast in Nov. He is worht following. Thinks we could see a lot of snow in places like STL which as many know can be a heartbreaker of a locale with near misses.

Any idea when the CPC is coming out with their winter outlook? I have a sneaking suspicion it'll be in line with the other forecasts we've seen but ya never know.

No idea.

Here's the Nino 3.4 maps for September and October BTW. The October update has gone stronger.

If the CPC has gone stronger could that possibly change the winter outlook some? Aren't most forecasts right now basing this as a weak to moderate event? The graph that was just posted looks awfully strong to me. I would think that we don't want this to get to strong. I bought a ton of salt for this winter for plowing so I want it to snow!!!

I dont know how much weight should be given to these long range models. IDK much about them but come one, it goes against everything predicted for the same period thus far. Its like the GFS at 384 hrs showing a blizzard!? If your a weenie you take it for all its worth and run with it, otherwise you brush it off and keep thinking about the :snowing: . But as I stated IDK anything about this model and if its reliable and Im being a snow weenie :lol:

Seems like people always take these models and forecasts as truth unless it doesn't show what they personally want. Then they compare it to the 384 hr GFS ...:whistle:

Yikes. Cold anomalies retreat NW.

What does this imply? I am always a bit concerned when all the calls so early peg this area as a can't miss. NOw I bought a crap load of salt and if I end up sitting on it I am going to be pissed. I fell for the hype and now watch it snow 24 inches or like 02/03 something like that.

So if the cold anomalies retreat NW what is the fallout for the GL area?

Sounds kind of like you taking this JAMSTEC and Brett Anderson's forecast seriously, while ignoring the rest because it doesn't fit your warminista agenda, doesn't it?

Here's what the JAMSTEC predicted back in April for this summer:

Actual result:

It was pretty darn good with the placement of the anomalies. Granted we are talking about one season and I'm not sure how well it has done over a longer period of time. Though it is showing above average temperatures this winter, it's also showing wetter than normal conditions.

Yeah something went wrong last year or something changed.

Oct 2009 DJF (temps) looks pretty close to what happened Dec-Feb 2009-2010.

It's pretty hit or miss no matter what long range model is used. I tend to trust it more than the CFS though.

Endless 50's and sunshine. Sell all of your salt.
