Jonathan Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So, as the average daily temperature for our region begins to fall after today (7/23) let's talk winter in July! What are the big indices looking like? What ENSO state are we entering into? Solar looking good which would make the QBO good for us? Any early animal coloration or behavior to look for? Surely this winter can't be worse than the last two...could it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Going to be a big winter. Weak west-based or Modoki El Nino, lots of blocking, active STJ. Boom! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back from vacation at the outer banks. Loved the weather, most days in the low 80s and plenty of sunshine. But, still can't wait for summer to end (..being the cold weather loving guy I am). Maybe in 5 months from now we'll be tracking a Christmas snow storm. Hope your summer is good as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountainguy97 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I’ll take it CFS really trending colder for front half of winter. Got to like the ENSO look heading into late summer. Not too mention pretty decent ice up north and a VERY slow melt season in Greenland. that coupled with the solar min (a very significant minimum actually) gives way to some pretty epic recipes for winter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Drier, warmer. Snow in the Jan 10-15 timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t usually follow climate models just for that reason but they are comforting when supporting good winters. All in in all this really is a winter where all the factors could line up very nicely for winter. Solar minimum (probably a bigger deal than most make it out to be it is THE SUN after all lol) weak nino promotes active STJ -qbo helps promote blocking and sustained cold All of the very early indicators that we can actually guess at this far out are not looking bad at all. In fact, this could be a fun one I just don’t like hyping myself up this early on haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
