Yea, it's tough to get a consistently hostile N PAC during an eastward biased cool ENSO event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yeah...was just gonna say - that product seldom seems to vary appreciably, year to year. Snowy and cold is our leitmotif - yet all I remember is 4 or perhaps 5 consecutive uninspired pieces of shit years that were not particularly cold or snowy. They're doing okay in the SW though - I guess not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it's tough to get a consistently hostile N PAC during an eastward biased cool ENSO event. Not to piss on anyone's parade but the "pacific warm pool," as it is become known in recent climate papers, is a largely anthropogenic feedback - attribution science revealing it is not be possible without an AGW factor. That - to me ... - isn't really the same thing as an otherwise "unique" SS stressing/distribution lending to a PDO phase state, as much as it really more like a faux +PDO. In other words, it isn't abundantly clear whether its presence really motivate the circulation mode, as opposed to it emerging because of the latter - in that order. Having said that... theoretically, a warm pool wobbling around S of the Aleut... may seem intuitive to cumulatively drive higher heights down stream, so perhaps that is a "harmonic" sort of feedback - 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Always Sunny Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Something quick I threw together. Just keep in mind this focuses mainly on the QBO as a stand-alone along with possible ENSO influence. I haven’t yet sifted through the bulk of the teleconnection indices/models I usually refer to for a seasonal outlook. Time allowing I’ll try and put something together.https://baystatewx.blogspot.com/2022/08/qbo-and-its-potential-implications-on.html?spref=tw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Always Sunny Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Great…Another meh winter after a meh summeh. I think it's too early to write anything off but when you take potential ENSO phase, -IOD, +QBO just to name a few teleconnections I'd lean towards an average season with potential for above average. ENSO will still be presumably weak La Nina, maybe neutral, which generally fares well for New England. Remember, you can have a temperature forecast be "above average", but it'll still be cold enough for snow most of the time.*EDIT* I also want to add that the years a +QBO & La Niña overlapped is only a three-year dataset which is very small so I would not put a lot of stock into that. If you just look at +QBO alone the setup is rather favorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably from about your area points southward, but not necessarily here....as long as there is cold in Canada, which there should be, its unlikely to be an unmitigated disaster at this latitude, unless there was some incredible misfortune involved. Agree RE above normal temps...pretty tough to pull off a below average season this day due to the relatively mild nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer when the nests in northern Maine were 10-15 feet off the ground, the following winter (1982-83) saw a January thaw wipe out almost all the cover. That winter's deepest pack, 24", was the lowest of our 9 full winters there. The next summer most nests were near the ground and winter 83-84 was the only one in which my 61" snow stake needed an extension.

J Paul Gordon Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Whatever the winter will bring, this has not been a "meh" summer in my region. We've had two (separate) weeks with daytime highs 95 or above with drenching humidity (especially the second wee). That's not "meh". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When begun, that nest was 8-10 feet off the ground, but its mass had bent the little tree into an arch that lowered the nest to within 2 feet of the dirt. Not sure how that should be interpreted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Some conclusions can already be drawn about this la nina event from its relationship, or lack there of, with the Indian Ocean Dipole. Don't expect either to last particularly long this winter. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2022/08/using-indian-ocean-as-predictor-of-enso.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some serious heat and long duration days over 90. I think we are at our 3rd or 4th best year with over 80 degrees days this Summer already. So... For us at least.. Its been a Scawcha! And the humidity has been oppressive. Just yesterday we had dew points here in Connecticut over 80 ( 81 and 82 in spots ). Thats is almost unheard of here. Its also been very dry. So I am hoping things will and likely could turn the other way as far as precip goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
