klw Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 FYI- BTV is doing an experimental change to its Winter Storm Warning criteria for this season: https://www.weather.gov/media/btv/NWSBurlington_WinterStormWarningExperiment2022.pdf Quote Beginning this winter season the National Weather Service Burlington Forecast Office will test a change to the Winter Storm Warning Snowfall Criteria in its County Warning Area of responsibility. This change is intended to simplify messaging and align snowfall criteria for Winter Storm Warnings more closely based to climatological impacts. There will be no changes to the Winter Weather Advisory snowfall criteria. Historically, the National Weather Service Burlington County Warning Area snowfall criteria has been the following: 6 inches of snow in 12 hours or 9 inches of snow in 24 hours The new experimental criteria for this winter season will no longer consider the time frame. This will allow for a more event driven approach to messaging. The experimental Winter Storm Warning Snowfall Criteria will be the following: 7 inches of snowfall during a winter storm event 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lost cause. I've followed his forecast for the last 4-5 years on another forum. I've yet to see him not predict a great winter for the SW & specifically Albuquerque, which is where he lives. Always has east warm...no matter the criteria it always = warm east & cold west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the data he shares but often disagree with his conclusion of the data. Now i know very few are correct very often, but I'm referring not just with seasonal forecasting but in season developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, I don't always see eye to eye with him, but he's a good forecaster. I didn't say he's always been correct, but the past 5 years has favored the west on paper, for the most part.

raindancewx Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 The last five winters have actually been quite snowy in the West v. the East, as I've predominantly forecast like you said. Where I am, we had ~95% below average snow in 2017-18, but the five year average is still ~8 inches v. the long-term of ~10 inches. ABQ has only had ~40 inches since 2017-18 - but the long-term average is 10. Keep in mind, elevation in the city varies from 4,900 feet to 6,200 feet. So most of the city has had far more than 40 inches since 2017-18. At my house, I had: 2017-18: 0.1", or less even, we had one brief snow shower at 36 degrees. 2018-19: ~15 inches (~6" in Dec, ~4" in Jan, ~5" in Feb) 2019-20: ~12 inches (~8" in Nov, 3-4" in actual winter, ~0.5" in Apr) 2020-21: ~18 inches (~9" in Oct, ~6" in Feb, 3" in Dec, Jan, Mar) 2021-22: ~10 inches (~6" in Feb, ~4" in Mar) For what it's worth - once the solar cycle peaks I think we'll have 3/5 or 5/6 very snowy eastern winters, with jack shit for ABQ - that's what happened from 1998 to 2005, with a small exception in 2000. There are lots of cycles like this historically where one area of the US does very well repeatedly for snow over a 5-7 year period. As far as me: I was accused once of stealing hundreds of thousands of sensitive files at a job. I didn't do it. But during the investigation, I was given a whole range of psychological tests for emotional stability, personality type, IQ, etc. I'm quite normal. A normal person dislikes intellectual dishonesty - which as I've said is my issue. Repeatedly claiming to be right when you are wrong is quite irritating, and every time I point it out, people in this forum email me directly for doing so. Take it as you will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that you don't cite my forecasts as incorrect, you cite random posts that I have made in casual conversation. My forecasts are on my blog, which you have admitted you don't read. A normal person doesn't become so oppositional and critical of forecast content that they do not read. If you catch me lying about my blog results, by all means...let me know.

I just like to leave something to the imagination...not only that, it allows me to fine tune the composite if need be. FWIW, I made that composite early in September and haven't had to tweak it yet.
