usedtobe Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The scatter diagram is pretty cool and informative for DC snow lovers. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capital-weather-gang/post/what-pacific-northwest-weather-pattern-change-means-for-dc-snow/2012/01/17/gIQA8J395P_blog.html#pagebreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Great article Wes. It would be interesting to see what the driest combination is. I would think that the -ao/+pna would have the least precipitation overall even though it has the most snow but that's just a wag. I don't know if it's just weenie optimism on my part but I would have to assume that the odds are against having a +ao/nao through the entire month of Feb. No pattern can last forever and considering that we've had pretty much a +ao/nao combo since the beginning of November it's not unrealistic to think that it will break in the near future.

Deck Pic Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Nice article Wes. Looks like there is rain in the forecast for SF for the next week straight. Could affect field conditions Sunday I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could affect field conditions Sunday I suppose. I don't know who that would favor. I was really happy with the scatter diagram. I also did one for the NAO and the PNA and found similar results but the -AO is actually a little more robust than a -NAO and a postive PNA is also a big deal....a bigger deal than a negative NAO. That surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinnk we see a negative Ao for part of Feb but I also think the PNA may be negative more than positive. That's the typical la nina look especially in February. That's why Don S. is still on the warm train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
