Until proven otherwise, id assume we furnace around Christmas. Tough to shake the feeling we may be in for a rat down this way too.

Saw that happen to a white cedar a few years back at the golf course i was a member at, Made a lot of 2x4's and had wood shards over 100 yds away as well.

ORH_wxman Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I looked at cold Augusts and cold Septembers and also both together averaged...I found basically no correlation with the temps and what happened the following winter. So no reason to be scared of an early autumn. Anecdotally, I remember 1992 had basically no summer and then a frigid autumn...that winter worked out ok. That was the only September that recorded snow in ORH on record. Jerry mentioned 1976...that was another cold late summer and very frigid autumn...the pattern continued right into winter.

weathafella Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Kevin will worry no matter what. That's why he runs so much-he's able to diffuse the worry that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost get the feeling he hopes it switches warm just so he can blame anyone who thought this was a pleasant summer, like they had something to do with it. But he still loves snow too much to root for that just to make a point lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and on the flip side there are plenty of hotter than normal summers that continued warm through winter (relative to normal). If we were torching right now the fear would be it continues into winter. No matter what's happening, some will find something to worry about.

There's not one snow lover here that isn't somewhat concerned to worried that the persistent Midwest trough which has kept us normal this summer is going to completely flip . One eyed pig and SE ridge replacing it. You can sense the anxiety in all the winter lovers posts . Some just express it differently . Like you in your previous 2 posts.

This is probably accurate....but not for the reasons you state. I'm always worried about a crappy winter...but I don't become more worried when August has a chilly pattern. I'd also be worried if it was hot right now. I would probably only feel very little worry if we had a weak El Nino...we seem to always do well in those.

Lol about reading into worry in posts. I think everyone obviously doesn't want a disappointing winter, it's why we are here. But there's some excess worry. Given how hard it is to disrupt persistent patterns, we should probably like the northeastern trough that's led to this below normal summer. I'd like that better than if we had a big SE ridge to Montreal all summer that shows no sign of stopping. Persistent patterns are hard to shake, like why even you gave up on the chance for a WAR or SE Ridge by early August after trying to bring one in all July. The trough over us just wasn't going away and still looks like it's not going anywhere. If we were baking right now, there'd also be concern it continues into the winter. Go with persistence right now and things look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worry about seasonal forecasts. I do worry about individual events when we're 48hrs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
