attml Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Here are a couple of videos to get you pumped up for winter. It is strangely gratifying to watch other people working in the snow with all of that awesome snowy scenery in the background! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp1Wti5zg3Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFTGFrooN8g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lwDxyJniZ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K9Cscxlj64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attml Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Here is one more you guys may find interesting if you like snowy scenery. This guy built a log cabin in central Ontario last fall using only hand tools. He was fighting to get it under roof before the snow came (which comes early up north). He said in a video in September of this year that the snow geese were already migrating south in mid-September (about a month earlier than last year) and it was the earliest he can recall them heading south in organized groups. Sometimes the animal are the best forecasters! Here are some of his videos from last year. He puts up a new 20-30 min video each week on Fridays. If you want to track when snow is moving south from up north this is a good series to watch. Below the first video is a year end video which was a compilation of him building the cabin (not his normal video format). A couple of the others are his standard weekly video formats with some of the kind of snow scenery we all live for! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rgGEkI510Q - (2017 year end compilation video - not his standard weekly format) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8qtxwlVGVs - (a standard video - the snow begins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xxqggt0FVg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A52txNt-tU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HruUMy6QDU - Making Maple syrup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcqUx1rWC1s - current video -he's come a long way~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 CPC usually just goes off enso state so with a weak to mod nino, you can imagine the temp and precip anomalies straightaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I hear the progression from early Oct warmth to cooler just like in 2002. Certainly seems like things are changing on many fronts now, but what the final outcome is is for the upcoming winter is still hard to determine.

ErinInTheSky Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Can someone please make this winter a real one? I've seen the last two winters, was so excited for them, and got like 4" and 8" total. I was told there would be snow when I moved. Please make it happen.

Check out the mslp anomalies for Dec/Feb. Great look. Negative departures running up and off the east coast and we have a bulls-eye of large negative departures in the 50/50 region.

Hard not to like where we are........so far Hold the line......hold the line...... As stated above, if the H5 look from afar comes to fruition for DJF....most here would gladly take our chances. Even if Nino stays low end and and we have only 1" of snow on 10" of frozen ponds....at least it might stick around and feel like deep winter. Of course I'd be happier to have those numbers switched.

If so, I’ll pay double the going rate for your place out near McHenry. Just out of curiousity...just how often does a NE suppression pattern setup like it did in 09-10? Lol Gotta be rare, right?

Shame we aren't seeing the full N Hemisphere on those. Would really like to see what type of blocking we getting over Greenland. As is, all the months would probably imply opportunities but January and February really stand out with great blocking over top in Canada. December and March both are showing some Atlantic ridging which would threaten systems possibly running to our west but with a little -NAO love that problem would be easily solved. I would take this in a heartbeat because we are probably looking at coastal threats throughout the winter. If this were to actually verify I would be putting my money on above normal snowfall, potentially big time, if we get a Kocin event or two mixed into the equation.

I think many are just happy to see things aligning with the potential for a decent winter. I'd take the snapshots above....no extrapolation for NH needed. To your point, it shows potential for an active winter and at this juncture....something to be excited about. Looking forward to the evolution and discussions thereof.

Pac drives the winter bus for many of us, so +PNA would be a BIG + no matter how big the + really is. Having that alone would let me roll the winter dice. Throw in some help from NAO/EPO and I'll push all my chips in...no matter the result. I'm a believer that around here it needs to be cold to snow before anything else. While, there are other ways to do it, they are just too low % IMO. Gonna be fun this year. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Hey , have you seen the latest SSTs in time progression in the Gulf Of Alaska and the general area West and Southwest of Alaska proper ? Getitng warmer and warmer and maybe we get a + PDO afterall ( to a degree ) Not to mention , it seems like all the palyers on a global scale are re-organizing and starting to show what might be see later in the cold season . I like what I see and maybe December will be more traditional again in terms of winter weather and not 80 degrees and playing hacky sack, and Frisbee in the back yard :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we are in at least a weak Nino, looking at the precip anomalies for Dec, in conjunction with h5, is it wrong for me to be having thoughts of 2009?
