Color me surprised on Oct 28th that winter wont arrive for 5 to 7 weeks. Then again it already arrived for many on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stadiumwave Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 No one should be surprised of a backloaded winter during an El Nino winter. That's typical how it works on average. DEC is usually above normal. With that said, it doesn't mean a warmer than average DEC can't have a cool down & snowstorm. So....Larry Cosgroves ideas are an expected average.

Ray, what are your thoughts, if you are able to talk about this prior to your seasonal outlook , as some here are stating the Modaki El Nino is a no go, but instead we will have a hybrid El Nino . You agree and does it really matter? And. can not things still change in the weeks ahead. Also, there is the debate as well about the high frequency forcing still being West based in the winter regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Totally unconvinced Dec is a warm month, quite the opposite really. Way too many Nino references for a correlation that is weak at best with regards to the NE, temps and Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak-mod El Niño’s during a solar minimum depicts a trough in the east during December. Not expecting much help from the NAO domain in December but as proven before, it’s not entirely needed to provide the northeast with cold and snowy conditions.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I see most of the cold on the other side of the world as we head into Nov, with no -epo/+pna in in sight....winter will have to wait east of the river, the Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 During the 80s, Niño years produced ok snow fwiw. The best sign is how active it is. I will feel a lot more optimistic if that high activity continues through November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing my freshman year in South Bend, where we had many fall rainstorms, but no notable cold. When I came back to CT for Xmas, South Bend had tallied 54", with zippo in CT. That changed in CT after Xmas break...although both locations had epic events that year. I would not be surprised to see the Midwest get some good snows out of Nov and Dec cutters, while we wait until after the holidays. Incidentally, South Bend had a 17" laker over Thanksgiving in 77.

It's more of a hybrid. 2nd show me the analogs that have a cold east in DEC. You have 2002...and it can happen but on average any blend of Nino's will not have a mean trough in east. Again, I'm not saying it won't happen but research shows on average not. EDIT: Good grief, I posted that on the fly last night & just read it this morning. Forgive me for how rude it sounds. Didn't mean for it to sound exactly that way. And I will say there are some signs that we could see some DEC cold this year. I was just trying to question the mean trough in east for DEC but could have been a little more tact in how I worded all of that. Again, forgive my lack of tact.

ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Cold Niño December off top of my head....2009, 2002, 1977, 1976, 1972, 1969, 1968, 1963. Warm....2015, 2014, 2006, 2004, 1994, 1986, 1987, 1982, 1979, 1965, 1957 id prob put years like 2004 and 1997 closer to normal. The warm Decembers tend to be higher magnitude warmth than cold in Ninos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warm Decembers tend to be higher magnitude warmth than cold in Ninos. 2009 - mean trough over plains, colder west & south 1972 - mean trough over SW, ridge east But overall definitely colder with those years. Timing has a lot to do with all of this also. And with this Nino being a late bloomer that may have impacts in a more non-traditional way. I noticed that the RRWT which is a model based on rosby waves & trends etc.....has trended colder for DEC recently. So, the timing could yield a colder or at least some cold this DEC. I certainly do not think we'll see a blowtorch DEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ORH_wxman had some good years for cold DEC posted above. Again, it's really about timing. I have a hunch we see some cold in spells in DEC. All my comments were based strictly on my analog years. Analog blend sdo not always pan out. A good outlook will use analog blends as a tool but pity anyone that ignores trends & makes a winter outlook based "solely"on analogs. That's why its smart to wait until Thanksgiving. I certainly hope for some wintry periods in DEC! It just seems fitting with the holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
