No snow for you Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Robert had a post on Facebook yesterday that said Greer sc to Winston-Salem NC, to DC, should invest in a snow shove and ice scraperl for this winter! His reasoning was that hot, droughty summers followed by ninos, bring alot of snow and ice to these regions! Giddyyuuppp! Can it come about 25 more miles south west?

LithiaWx Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have to assume the last few comments were directed at me. If so please note I never said those charts equal a bad winter. It also doesn't scream banner year to me either. Again looks cool but not arctic cold. Looks cool from all of the southern energy. Again JMO.

LithiaWx Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Should rename this thead the echo chamber. It's pretty clear any opinion that isn't a banner year isn't welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stadiumwave Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Should rename this thead the echo chamber. It's pretty clear any opinion that isn't a banner year isn't welcome. Not true...if you read my comments I agree with you. I don't think it will be a year of deep cold like the last 2 winters but could be still cold & snowy. With that said it's early...and with such a strong Nino it's always possible to get torched. Even the colder winter forecasts like JAMSTEC, SST CA, NASA, WEATHERBELL...all have a torch DEC followed by colder conditions 2nd half of JAN through MAR. The analog blend I used does the same. No problems here...keep posting your thoughts. We're all supposed to be objective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said from Greer to Asheville to W-S, etc. I think that area between the upstate and Asheville, in the mountains somewhere near Hendersonville, Mills River and Brevard, will be the hotspot.

Shawn Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 El Nino and all... there will be multiple chances at big Winter storms for many of us in the South this year. Eventually, the cold will be in place for the a storm or two at some point after December I'd assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 El Nino and all... there will be multiple chances at big Winter storms for many of us in the South this year. Eventually, the cold will be in place for the a storm or two at some point after December I'd assume. Why wait until after December ? How about IN December ? In the el nino of 97-98, we had our only snowfall of the winter in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked too much into it, but it seems we'd have a better chance of cold/wet combo into Jan and Feb. I saw some articles about this Nino possibly rivaling that one from those years though.

Some of the maps I saw had December being mild or something like that around here. I am looking forwards to El Nino taking hold and giving us more systems to work with. Still some question to if it keeps on or weakens.. but overall it seems to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yup! Why do we need arctic cold to get snow?The best and most snow I have seen in my life in the south , was with the temp in the mid teens and 14-16 inches of powder! Sometimes it's good to not worry about whether or not the cold will be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 In all honesty, I would rather have the cold guaranteed and take my chances with moisture! Because I love a good cold chasing rain, more than the next guy! I'll take an inch of powder over 2 inches liquid and 33/34 degrees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually said : " we believe it js more likely that the El Niño will be in a weak to neutral phase!" Big LOL Jim Gandy (pretty good met who's been around a long time) from WLTX(CAE) had posted a guest blog here about how the Farmer's Almanac (either of them) isn't quite right: http://blogs.agu.org/wildwildscience/2014/02/28/did-the-farmers-almanac-winter-forecast-verify-nope/ Now when it comes to old school tactics and all that good stuff, these books have been a great resource for people, but I agree with the blog post.
