Might as well go ahead and just add "part 1" to the thread title right now lol.   :tomato:

 

 

Nah, record breaking winter for many, strong/super El Nino be damned.

lol at the CFS. We are only a month in, but a warm Fall is so against strong Nino climo it isnt funny.

We are going to need a frigid November to erase the warm anomalies from September. I don't see October ending up to terribly cold. So a warmer than normal fall is a possibility. But agreed, I guess we are hell bent on going against climo the past 5 years lol.

Oh Im sure Fall will end up warmer than normal due to September, but if the CFS is right it would be a torch Fall, not simply warmer than normal. Of course, the CFS had October blazing until a week ago.

Ah the weather always keeps us on our toes! That's what I love. We are in an interesting time. Was reading a stat, that Joaquin is the first Cat 4 hurricane to track through the Bahamas in October since 1866!

Awesome.

Of course I was messing around by posting the November CFS, but even if Fall ends up much warmer than average, I'm not really sure if it's a sign of something for winter. As you know, the sample size for strong Ninos is not very large, with only a handful of cases since 1950 and maybe like a dozen (give or take) if you want to go well back into the 1800s.

Oh I know. Im basically messing around as well. I have absolutely no idea that kind of winter we will have. But the theory that strong nino = torch is based almost entirely on 1982-83 & 1997-98, so when there is something thats already a stark contrast from those two years, I just enjoy pointing that out :P. And you are correct, sample size is ridiculously small. There have been 11 strong Nino winters since 1877 and just 5 since 1950. And from that VERY small sample size, the signal for a cold Fall is much more than the signal for a mild winter. But we are talking 11 out of 139 years.

It's based on a littttlllee more than that. Analogs have their uses (albiet in a gradually diminishing capacity, I would argue), but the interplay between ENSO and tropical forcing and how it relates to the mid-latitudes is well represented in scientific literature.

I was talking about the assumption by SOME that strong nino is automatic torch winter, which it is absolutely not. I definitely know there's more,in fact I've said all along that ENSO is just one piece of the puzzle.

Generally the chances increase for a colder than normal winter in the south and a milder than normal winter in the north.

Alek's backyard is the new Madison/Dubuque/Mt. Geos hot spot.

 

I think we have another I-88 winter coming. The Cyclone, SchaumburgStormer, Tsnow, Alek, share the wealth special. Then the Detroit boys can get in on the action too. Going to be a bad year for our southern IL/ KY and Ohio friends.

 

(based on no science. Half gut call, half trolling call :whistle: )

Yet many keep ignoring the one huge obvious and thus the affects of climate change on this stuff. See this for a example. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/46803-two-distinct-influences-of-arctic-warming-on-cold-winters-over-north-america-and-east-asia/

 

 

Not saying it will be cold but how many of you screaming warm has even considered that? Be honest?

 

Just going with what you said is gonna get you in hot water.
