More power to you but ... we can have a severe rare events here regardless - I realize you're being partially tongue-in-cheek, but goes without saying, snowing on April 7 doesn't mean anything to a lightning bold on May 10 ... Unfortunately, there is no 'want' or fulfillment therein in this climate up here. We kind of have a "geological tuck" circumstance over eastern N/A really... Particularly N of the Va Capes (roughly) and all over eastern Canada and the Maritimes down through New England. The normal torque budget of the wind has a built in anti-cyclonic curl that's always there, ... offering a folding force that wants the flow to bend N ... and NE at least excuse. It's probably why we BD so frequently here... we can drill it into small scale causality...and be right - but technically, that foundation is sort of there because the prevailing N-hemispheric westerlies naturally want to turn anti-cyclonically around the continents... The have the same issue in eastern Asia/Japan, too... The flows in these regions rise up (tendency ) in latitude as they encounter the land, then...around a flattish arc and that tendency then descends upon exit. SO anything that happens inside there has that constructive (destructive) interference going on relative to the small details taking place. That's a very good point..and further emphasizes the reasoning of why we BD more frequently during the transition seasons. Very interesting too about eastern Asia/Japan...that would probably explain why that area is a major area of interest for those who monitor MT?

It's an old unit (16yr) Could be that too. 16yrs is a long time and those older sensors lose quite a bit of accuracy as you get near and below 0F.

I just know that the WPO is partially motivated into index changes by the torque budget and the flow orientation coming off the massive Asian continent - which can be a bit complex with several massive mountain cordilleras and what have us completely destroying any laminar flow types at planetary scales... yikes! But, the flow still tends to be NW in the N. Japan Sea and there are big winter storms and NE plume loading in north Japan ... origin roughly Kamchatka/far eastern Siberia...

That's a part of the glob where I would really like to focus on more weather wise. I think having a strong understanding/background on how short-term weather is performing across this area of the globe (this includes how the jet is behaving) can significantly increase medium (maybe even into the long-term spectrum...depending on what your definition is separating medium/long-term) range weather forecasting across the CONUS. But the WPO is a great place to start...I've been thinking of doing alot of stuff with NAO/AO...but I kinda want to revert and focus more on the western Pacific region. Isn't there some sort of (strong) correlation between behavior of the jet there and how it will respond here (like a 10-14...or 14-18 day lag)? Low east Asian MT anomalies/AAM anomalies eventually result in low Rocky mountain MT/AAM anomalies down the road = trough digging through the west?

I've had better personal success anticipating Pacific circulation tendencies by considering whether the WPO --> EPO ( circuited through the northern arc of the total basin space obviously ) with time lags. I've seen these bigger negative EPO index progs, fail more times when the WPO was positive ...and vice versa ( succeeds ) when the WPO was falling and slipped negative ( or even just falling is usually good enough), first. I mean like everything in correlation and causality in this atmospheric maelstrom, there's exceptions and there are no 1::1 between indices... But, the stronger correlations tend to have a kind of "connective tissue" like that. etc.... It's like a recurving Atlantic hurricane season lends to +NAO state in early winter as Lance Bozart et al statistically showed years ago - the link there is a the dumping of latent heat into the Icelandic low tend to curl up into the lower arctic domain and you end up that way... There's all kinds of these loaders around - ...If the WPO tanks obviously negative and lasts ... I take an NP/EPO downward modulation more seriously than if these latter attempt to do so without the leading WPO is all - ... but I don't ignore them altogether for that lower percentage occurrence(s).

There is also this one index...I think it's the Pacific-Transition (PT)...it's like a fall signal with data only available between Sept - Nov or maybe Sept - Dec...but some research showed a very high correlation to the fall phase of this index and winter pattern over the CONUS.

Problem is obvious; everyone dies and there is end to all this that is inexorable, and knees are part of that, ...as is everything in the body... the sun and planets..etc. But, we can conserve things and make them last longer and get more enjoyment out of the journey, if we employ some common sense and modulation based on science and personal limitation and so forth. Example, I figured out that if I Elliptical for 50 minutes at level 14 on day one, then on day two ... stationary bike for 50 minutest at level 10, then day three...run 4 1/2 miles... by day four, I can Elliptical again because it's been four days since I did and those particular muscle aren't bitching about it... SO, I take a day off every ten days or so, but otherwise, this rotation with some light free-weight work and abs, keeps my weight down under 200 and that feeds back to helping joints and so forth from that wear and tear. And everything else is improved under the hood with also a willingness to explore healthier dietary sourcing... blah blah... not intending to preach...But, we should all be determining what our personal bio-physiological limitations are, and working to just below that level - anything else is bullshit, unless you are chained up in a dungeon.

If you go by general metro area, then it's probably close to double. The general metro area of BOS is almost completely west of the climate site at Logan, so their snowfall is going to be skewed a lot higher than NYC's general metro area.

EastonSN+ Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think NYC needed a specific amount this year to raise their 30 year average to 30. NYC is so vast the snowfall amounts in the City itself vary a lot. Coastal Brooklyn is probably closer to 22 while the Bronx around 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Did anyone come close on their seasonal snowfall forecast for New England?

jbenedet Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 1 hour ago, Typhoon Tip said: I'm not sure the N/stream is being handled right... I could almost see this thing correcting toward an early Chicago curl as a deep low that then rots and fills over two days spitting lows that run out south of a failed warm frontal cool sector that's "might" be corrected toward greater arming surface pressure over Ontario... That could satisfy the mid latitude R-wave argument that way, too - Thought about this as well. Obviously now at a point that little can be discounted, but what steers me away from this is the progressive tenor of season as well as the teleconnections AND global guidance, which all point to this thing chugging along—not racing, but certainly not your bowling ball-esque type evolution.

I think those areas of NJ average probably low 30s while Bedford to Reading is around 60 inches...so mabye slightly less than double. You go further inland up into like Wantage NJ, thats about the same distance/direction to New Ipswich, NH and similar elevations over 1000 feet. Again, probably a bit less than double (low to mid 40s vs 80ish). Due west around 40 miles at similar elevation might be some place like Chester, NJ vs ORH....that's prob mid/upper 30s against 70ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
