I ignored winter after 1995-96 I knew it could never get any better so I just quit paying attention to the weather, I dont even remember what those winters were like. It's easier to have a very snowy winter and then not have another one for a few years than to never have experienced it (which is what happened for me in the 80s and early 90s) and always wonder what one would be like....

At 72 hrs most models are close enough to each other to know a real risk or not. But anything more than that is just popcorn fodder. whats the purpose of issuing 14 day forecasts anyway, all funds should be used to make 5 day forecasts as good as can be and just dont spend any money beyond that. Allocate funds to where better results are possible, not in fantasy land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 1981-82, 1984-85 and 1992-93 were above average and the rest were ratters. 80's winters were cold though. Maybe not as a whole winter but there was a lot of cold months.

Allsnow Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Weeklies have the cold shot and snow potential December 13-20th. It then goes full on Niña with cold west/warm East. Around January 15th (la la la land) it has -nao, -epo, and cold moving east. Looks like a niño pattern in the middle of January 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because long range forecasting is so inaccurate. Follow models up to 7 days and stay off social media, you might keep your sanity .Or move to a snowy climate ..It would be nice to have snow for the holidays ,but that never happens, so that's life and global warming .Plus you have no control at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 GFS:(OP) Dec. 10-17 is averaging +9, that is in degrees boys----not inches! It will probably be just +3 in reality, Really! I routinely cut the OP by 5 degrees for the first 8 day average. More beyond that, less for shorter periods of course. PROBABILITY OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS based on the current 30-Year-Normal. This is Not the prediction for any particular winter. For NYC we will probably be working up or down from a raw chance of about 20%. Chicago starts at 50/50. Minneapolis starts at 80% etc.: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope that window produces something before we lock into a torch La Nina pattern come Jan. And the weather in Central and Northern New England is alot different than NYC area.

A good or event great pattern would be something that would last a month or maybe 6 weeks. If you go back to the famous winter of 10-11, we had a great pattern that lasted about 5-6 weeks and the goods were delivered bigly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North and West Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Not a met - but why does everyone fall for the long-term forecasts every year? It's a wash, rinse, repeat every single season. I get the vague trends - but after seven days, things just fall off a cliff and they *seem* to change on a whim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a much different climate zone for snow than our area is. The last 2 snowfall seasons were some of the best on record for Northern New England.

SnoSki14 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Could the 8th offer a sneaky coastal? Models are showing more potential there and we have a tendency to see OTS systems trend west. There's also enough cold air around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got to meet Jamie Farr at a NYC autograph signing he was doing. New England is a very pretty part of the country. Some of the snow lovers in our forum would be happy relocating there if the opportunity arises for them. With the climate warming at such a rapid clip, perhaps the future will feature a reverse migration from the sunbelt to the snowbelt. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cities-future-usa/future-cool-minnesota-city-ponders-new-boom-as-a-climate-migrant-destination-idUSKBN1WV1DS Currier And Ives will always be alive their.
