Winter 2012-2013

There is NOTHING that shows a Nina developing. Some data show the Nino strengthening, approaching moderate, and then leveling off at weak Nino. NOTHING shows a Nina developing. Even IF you extrapolated, that NIna probably wouldn't develop until summer 2013 on the most aggressive data.

Not true, even WillORH says as much in his preliminary 2012-13 winter outlook posted last night.

And for those looking for HM's solar thoughts, he posted them in the el nino thread in SNE.

there are indications the suns activity is going to be picking up. I do believe the mighty HM has made reference to this.

Dr. David Hathaway from NASA had to lower his SSN predictions for the maximum of Solar Cycle 24, because the sun was less active than he had forecasted.

It still is less than what he forecasted.

Why make a prediction on something u kno nothing about...ur act is old...continue to look foolish...its not my name...

If u enjoy making horrible calls...keep going

This is a hobbyists board, anyone is free to make a prediction and start a discussion.

And speaking of looking foolish, your helen keller reference was extremely shallow, insensitive, and extremely offensive to anyone with an eye sight/hearing disability or any disability for that matter. Shame on you! I hope you never have to know what it's like to not be able to see or speak, or hear etc.

Don't wanna disrespect you but you did say all last summer that last winter was going to rock. No offense.

None taken. I had that way wrong, as did a lot of people. Not that if makes it better, but I bailed on the winter in early January, while many were still predicting big things.

messed up the year before too. Was much better the year before that

Yup, you threw in the towel early last year as the winter unfolded. A lot of us had false hope.

A weak nino can't hurt us this year, and hopefully the blocking will be back.

Quite frankly, I hate being wrong and I learned my lesson after last year's bust. No more winter outlook in October. I've had pretty good success in the 3 winters before, but I'll probably wait until a few days before December from now on, as to better gauge the pattern for Dec. I issued my summer outlook a couple days ago for similar reasons.

Thus I have no thoughts on next winter right now, other than our chances will be better if we can get a weak nino. But even then, the NAO trends will be tough to tell. As I said, waiting to see what the pattern for early/mid Dec will be is a major help in terms of correlations per my research.

I dont think anyone could have predicted how bad last winter would be lol. Especially when we just had a spectacular winter the year before. Looking forward to your outlook

I knew we were in trouble when the AO was very positive in November...I did think the first two weeks of February would be cold and snowy...it wasn't but my area had two dustings the first week or so...it was a disaster but lost in warmth was the snowiest October on record giving us three straight winters with a record snowy month...

I predict that snowfall amounts next winter will be at or above last year's totals (not including the October snow of course.) I know this forecast is out there but I'm a risk taker by nature.

why are you excluding the biggest winter storm?

Simply put, if it snows again in October, we may be screwed. See what the pattern looks like the last week of November, first week of December and then base your winter outlook off of that because winter patterns tend to lock in early. Then they either stay consistent for a month to a month and a half, flip in the middle of winter, or they lock in early and stay that way through mid February.

Because I got nothing with the wind off the sound so that storm is dead to me.

It wasn't a real storm anyway. If I include it I would be acting like those guys in New England that got 20 inches from that storm pretending they were normal in the snowfall department as of New Years meanwhile they didn't see a flake all of November and December.

LOL-you were harping a pattern change all the way to 2/1 and then you fled the board.

Makes last year quite the anomoly---warmth locked in in early November and went straight through April! A literal repeat of 01-02 with regard to sensible weather for the NYC area.... One cold week in January and that was it. Historic busts from DT, JB, KA, LC and crew
