NYC’s average is more like 28” so 90% would be around 25”. I think after last winter most reasonable NYC posters would be quite happy with that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Jets one season in the far distant future go 6-10 again, that shouldn’t be celebrated. Lol the Jets. But yes I agree to a certain extent.

We could get 95/96 for all we know. I could see that. I am skeptical of EMA getting a great snowfall winter though. I am thinking 75% across most of New England with exception of Main NH and Vermont which will be 125%. Hopefully I am wrong and it's 95 96 or 10-11.

Yeah I know it's a good head start for sure. However 2011, 1989 and 2018 can happen just as easily as 1995. 2012. 2002. Got clobbered early all the aforementioned years and ended up with a split between great and terrible winters. Maybe all the la Nina, missing NAO talk has me extra tentative. Probably can throw out 2011 and 2002 as the background state is completely different. I did enjoy the snow the other day though. Hopefully we all end up with a solid winter - rooting for everyone.

Greg Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 4 hours ago, EastonSN+ said: We do better than EMA when there is a negative NAO. Obviously we are not getting that this year sooooo we enjoy not snow blowing. Not sure I totally agree with that statement. The - NAO depending on how far back with weather data you go generally indicates a fairly even percentage on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there is a fast flow without blocking i.e. 2015 longitude seems to help ema. Strong blocking seems to lead to lows closer to coast. Some examples Dec 2010. Dec 2000. Maybe I am off somehow in reasoning and it's just random storm tracks. Western and eastern New England seem to be equal in snow distribution over time.

Western and eastern New England seem to be equal in snow distribution over time. December 2010 was great in Boston. So there are times where a west based -NAO may lead to huggers, but I think overall we certainly do want a -NAO for the big boys. A lot of our major snow events have had some serious blocking. Anywhere from DC to BOS wants blocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 His analogs do have some interesting features though. He's got warm periods in there for almost everyone - often near record warmth. Think December 2014 for the NE, or 1995/2005 for the SW. But then he has incredible cold periods like Jan-Mar 2014 and 2015 for the Midwest and NE. The mid-Dec to mid-Jan period in 1978-79 is super cold nationally, and as I've showed previously in here, Jan 3-9 1971 is insanely cold in the West, 20 below average in New Mexico and Colorado, for a week, despite that month warming up a lot later. The 1995 and 2009 winters are also pretty cold/snowy for a lot of the US. But 2005 is not. So I think he is trying to get at how volatile the winter could be. Where I am he has December 1959 with two feet of snow in the valleys, and February 2015 with 10 inches of snow in the valleys. The mountains saw 50-100 inches in those periods in a week or so, and that does tend to happen every five years or so. The 1959-60 period also has a major thaw in the middle of the country in the mid-Dec to mid-Jan period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s his out He did talk of warmth last year & was not popular. Larry is objective...not a "cold every year" wishcaster. He may be wrong but not for that reason. Kind of refreshing to see someone not simply driven by nuances & status quo Climatology & make a cookie cutter La Nina forecast. That's lazy! And that is a lot of what I see every year nationally. It's evident from his analog years he put a lot of thought & considered many factors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Excerpt from Donny Baseball post in NYC forum. It’s LC vs the world Since 1950, there have been five cases where a La Niña developed during June-July-August or afterward following an El Niño winter. 4/5 (80%) of those cases saw a predominant EPO+/AO+ winter pattern. The most recent such case was 2016-17. 9/10 (90%) of the La Niña winters that followed an El Niño winter featured a predominantly positive EPO. A predominant EPO+/AO+ pattern is likely for winter 2020-21. It is likely that the Middle Atlantic and southern New England areas will see a warmer than normal winter with potentially below normal snowfall.

It's evident from his analog years he put a lot of thought & considered many factors. Agree. His winter outlook has changed somewhat from his earlier thoughts during the summer. Another thing about Cosgrove is he will adjust his forecast accordingly. Some will "drive" their cold & snowy winter forecast off a cliff in an attempt to be right. I prefer someone who adjusts the forecast as needed rather than someone who hangs on to his/her forecast in a desperate attempt to be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
