buckeyefan1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Surprised no one mentioned 192 on the Euro. Has some flurries for CAE to just past CLT...granted it's just one frame...but it's something. Could be a start. I have taken note of my fantasy flizzard as these have been hard to come by Sheesh....Summer has a good chance to be on the normal to below normal side at least.... This is what I hope for especially after these past two brutal never ending summers It will NOT be a normal or below Summer, you can bet on that Any reasoning behind this?

Northern Foothills Snowman Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Cold invades Europe, then our turn After many weeks of non-winter with dominant Atlantic maritime air in a positive AO and NAO mode, Europe is seeing winter arrive late but with a vengeance. Siberian air has pushed west and dropped a lot of paralyzing snow in eastern Europe. The cold will reach all the way west and snow may fall in parts of southern Europe that doesn't see it often even to the Mediterranean. as spokes rotate around the large cold vortex. In the United States after yet another non winter week, the cold arrives week 2. The question still remains is it preceded and accompanied by significant snows. The models are struggling with that and will for a few more days. Todays; GFS has the cold arrive in the US next week. Remember the record cold trapped in Alaska. 16 days have been 40 below or lower in Fairbanks in January (ir December), there were only 4 with more. JANUARY 1906.....21 JANUARY 1971.....21 DECEMBER 1917....20 JANUARY 1934.....20 JANUARY 2012.....16* JANUARY 1969.....16 JANUARY 1947.....16 * Through January 30th What happened in February in those years. Interesting read from WeatherBell this morning.by Joseph D'aleo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgertime Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Is the NAM broken? Its 8:21 CST and stuck on hour 3 It must be. It's just now to hour 69...wonder if they were having some major feedback issues or something and had to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJ Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have taken note of my fantasy flizzard as these have been hard to come by This is what I hope for especially after these past two brutal never ending summers Any reasoning behind this? Same reasoning behind my prediction that Winter would be mild with short transient periods of cold and little chance of Winter precip. Also that Spring would be a violent one with the pattern switch coming in mid-March early April leading to a borderground of severe weather somewhere between N. Ga. and the Carolinas. This is a classic La Nina weather pattern and I see no reasoning to make me change my thinking so far. I picked the analog years of 1990-91 and 1991-92 as far as the winter goes and those summers were uncomfortably warm and dry as will be this one (barring heavy tropical involvement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By early summer we are likely to be neutral, and by late summer I think we will be flirting with weak Nino conditions. Also I'm not familiar with the word borderground, I would love to know what it means. The winters of 1990-1991 and 1991-1992 were el nino years I don't understand how you would think those are good analog years. 90-91 was just under a weak nino, technically it was neutral and 91-92 was a strong el nino. Winter 1990-1991 NDJ: +0.4 DJF: +0.4 JFM: +0.3 Winter 1991-1992 NDJ: +1.6 DJF: +1.8 JFM: +1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAE the past two summers set all time highest average temps ever recorded, not just by a fraction of a degree either. Anything close to normal this summer would be a welcomed change.

MichaelJ Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Obviously I didn't make myself clear on the La Nina years. The preceding year to 1990 (1989) was a strong La Nina year (much like last year's Nina which is the cause of this winter weather IMO) which led to a warm winter in 1990 and the carry over to 1991 was because there was no signal of either a Nina or Nino. As for borderground, it should have read battleground with the border being Ga to the Carolinas, my mistake. Not sure if I am allowed to link a different site here but it was in late November- early December on the WeatherBell site in a post, not sure if I carried it over here also before Dec or not to be honest. I am sure where you can see where I think we are headed for next winter so I will just go ahead and say it will be another mild (though not quite as mild as this one) Winter in the SE next year barring something really unusual occurring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bob Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I had asked that question a couple of weeks ago without a response. I am glad to see that's what it looks like right now. My cooling bill last year was nothing short of brutal. I must have missed it...sorry about that. But I it looks like I am already wrong seven months before verification!

Also I'm not familiar with the word borderground, I would love to know what it means. I freaking love your responses Marietta - seriously. The major cause of the winter bust this year - IMO - has been the progressive PJ under-cutting everything. In turn, you get no block of -NAO (which we had during last year's La Nina). Can this not also occur during Nino years? Why we have to classify everything into one of the Latin Children episodes, I still don't understand. But, I'm no Met by any stretch...

Atlanta has had 2 of it's 3 hottest summers ever the last 2 summers. Why can't we just have a normal summer for a change ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link please....just don't remember anyone calling for that on this board. My opinion was for just weak cold transient shots all winter. I guess no one listened to me! So back to the 12z, when does our 1" of ice accretion commence for this weekend? Do I ever hope we all get one unexpected wallop of snow with 12 - 24 hours notice before mid-March comes along. Or a repeat of the 60s style winter that gave western NC 4 Wednesdays of snow on top of snow the entire month of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's rather funny when we can go an entire model run on the first day of February with no mention of anything about it. To break the silence, it didn't look all that bad to me. Has our storm at hr 204, suppressed with decaying cold ready to be tapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We learned last winter that a -NAO, if strong enough can trump the typical pattern set by ENSO conditions, I don't know if that applies to summer but I doubt it. I'm not aware of a link between ENSO state and blocking or lack of blocking, if there is one I'd love to learn more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 First time this winter that I've seen the 500 mb levels shooting south WEST of the Rockies. Every other time I've looked it happened east of the Rockies. A shift west in that pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
