Anyway, I'm just speculating. I was wondering if anyone could share info beyond speculation on this topic. Thanks. Long range weather projects is a huge market for many public and private companies. I read a report on the Wall Street Journal it is a growing field. Short term but, longterm outlooks guide decisions about inventory, commodities, the futures markets, what to makwe on the assembly lines and beyond that retailers, and what to focus on and how much, beyond that even more such as chemicals and other compunds. Knowing ahead in weather is a big market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info from StormVista on the Euro: 6z and 18z will run out to hr90 on the operational run, and out to hr144 on the ensemble run. Sounds like they are waiting on a few things from ECMWF, but expect to begin having those runs 'soon.' On the ENSO front, the latest weekly SST value for Nino 3.4 is up to +0.6. Subsurface warmth continues to look healthy and more westerly winds are occurring across the central and east Pacific. Weak El Nino looks like a solid call now IMO.

FallsLake Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I liked the GEFS run this morning. If you look at the heights they start off with ridging in the east and slowly change to show a trough in the east. This is what we want for the upcoming winter. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs-ens&region=us&pkg=z500a&runtime=2018100506&fh=18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 We can drool and fantasize all we want about those glamour model pics posted above. But as of right now we are married to the 700 lb gray headed woman who cant cook,clean and has no personality what so ever. The Southeast Ridge. Edit; she hates football, golf ,hunting,fishing as well. And its highly likely she graduated from UNC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying There are so many things that can make or break an event. 2-m temperature is just one of them. However, monthly average temperature does not necessarily have any effect on whether or not someone gets snow. While highly unlikely, we could finish 0.5 degrees cooler than normal for the entire month by simply being 0.5 degree above normal on 27 days in February and 27.5 degrees below normal on the one other day. I think we'd all just give up at that point, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning looked 13 weeks out into the future driven by market trends, placed orders, and anticipated orders based on input from relations with the retail stores. I wasn't at the level of knowing what was discussed, only in supporting the IT infrastructure. I'm sure that weather would affect the retail stores order planning, which would then affect our planning thru a change in the placed and anticipated orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was -9.88 I think At 30mb, it should be up to around zero for October (i.e. transitioning from negative to positive), and continue climbing positive thru winter. At 50mb, it should remain negative for at least the first half of winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
