USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We have a favorable +PNA pattern developing towards the New year and into the first few weeks at least of January. 2013-2014 winter was more active than I originally thought, it has nothing to do with the ENSO discussion currently, just an interesting fact, I found fascinating since my recollection of that winter was that we had many nor'easters track about 200 miles southeast of the benchmark, but we did have some big storms too.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 These are the SST anomalies for December 24th, 2018, the whole Pacific Basin is in a warm episode along the equator, to my knowledge, these ENSO events take a while to mature within the atmospheric dynamics, like a whole month of behind schedule sort of thing, given it is a basin-wide event and not a localized event.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The Gulf stream positive anomalies are also somewhat suppressed currently if we were to look up an SST anomaly map from the Blizzard Juno time frame, the Gulf Stream would be further northwest, closer to the benchmark location, allowing the storm track to follow it more northeastward, than eastward.

Go Kart Mozart Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this is a really nice EPS from 12z. There is still a vortex over the pole, but it is showing signs of getting squashed. +PNA, split flow, and some ridging into Greenland are all showing up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we relax end of Jan after just getting started, you can practically kiss a big season goodbye. It’s balls to the wall or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been in a relaxed period since November, so that better not happen. At least give me a month of solid winter weather with a couple of decent snow events.

If there does end up being another relaxing after this potential period, You can probably kiss even a climo winter goodbye unless we have a huge Morch.

It's obviously unrealistic to expect that same outcome but we would still achieve a very good season if we got 60-70% of what happened that year after mid-January. Even getting half of the snowfall would put most areas above average for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've learned that in past seasons... in NNE it's definitely harder to catch up to climo than in SNE. Luckily up this way we had a huge November and have at least had some snow in December. The NNE zone southeast of the mountains though is another story but I'm not as well versed in that climo from like LEW to CON area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
