Factor? Non factor? Unknown? This condition stands out this year big time. Usually its not a big deal because SSTs are very malleable, but maybe early in the season the coast has a bit more trouble than usual...it should also aid baroclinicity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah first 6-8 weeks of winter can be “helped” out by the warm SSTs since you will have cold shots over the land but the contrast to the warm SSTs will be greater than normal. It makes rapidly bombing storms a bit more likely…you still obviously need the synoptic setup first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't change the snowfall too much...but sharpened up things like coastal fronts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a few pockets have avoided regression but I’d say a majority of SNE has regressed a decent amount in the past 4-5 seasons or so. Some select areas you could maybe argue started regressing a bit before that…like after 2010-2011. Peeps in western zones haven’t had a lot of luck since then after getting smoked over and over again for basically a decade between ‘00-01 and ‘10-11. They were mostly too far west for the real big dogs (like Feb ‘13, Jan ‘15, Feb ‘15, Jan ‘18, 2nd Mar ‘18 storm, Jan ‘22) and didn’t really make up for it with enough other conventional warning events. Throw in what might have been an all time epic ratter in the Berkshires and S VT in 2015-16 and you have a solid case that they are ready to flip the script a bit.

The 2nd half of the month actually had a pattern similar to Dec 1970....but just a shade more -PNA and confluence up by us which ended up being all the difference. You could see how this pattern would be good though. You have a SE ridge but also -NAO And 50/50 low for confluence to hold in the highs near CAR on SWFE.....in our case though, we just couldn't get any of those disturbances to maintain their integrity in the flow. That's been a leitmotif with increasing prevalence over recent decade(s). There are exception periods, or specific events, of course. But in general. Shearing systems due to velocity saturation from too much gradient in the means between the 35th and 60th latitudes. Sometimes as many as 15 isohypses is the base-line state, and that's outside of actual S/W wind maxes. That will impose an attenuation. It shrinks the d(v)'s ...or tends to, and the S/W don't have mechanics to do as much, because they are not differentiating the flow enough to impose Norwegian model jet structural responses. The ones that overcome and develop better total cyclone space within that flow and the storm moves along at ludicrous speeds. It's weird though because this hurried maelstrom thing is happening with elevating pwat, which seems to be offsetting the total mitigation - it seems to more effect storm structure and placement. I mean all this from orbit. There's exceptions and goes back and forth with more and less coherency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't argue your point, but the shearing last December was the result of a record RNA abutting a solid NAO block. That would have sheared on Ginxy's great, great, great, great, great grand dogs back in 1633. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be difficult to parse out how much of either, that RNA/-PNAP stuff, vs just a compressed hemisphere in any attribution sense of it. I don't believe multi-season/perennial persistence for compression was not part of that, however. While at the same time, the -PNAP was raging. I.e., some of both. I can tell you this much, ...either alone might cause a destructive interference pattern. Together? f ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next composites I plan to add are temp/precip departures. Temp & precip composites are added via NOAA/NCEI webpage. Rearranged the layout/format once again for easier readability. Best when viewed on desktop but mobile works as well just requires more scrolling. To view the galleries you need to click the image then you can pan left/right to toggle through the images. If you have a question as to why I categorized a certain year where I did, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
