I definitely had the right idea with a harsh Western winter. California is about to get nuked with snow again too. It's always interesting to look globally and see the "correlation points" in Asia - typically if the Indian subcontinent south/east of the Himalayas is hot, so is the Eastern US, and if Central Asia up to Kamchatka/NE Asia is cold, so is the Western US. Alps are in a massive snow drought too. Likely climate change driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Eastern Atlantic didn't really do what I expected, but kind of irrelevant since the cold showed up consistently in the West via its partner in crime over NE Asia. I believe this is most +WPO winter on record using the index, but I'd have to check. I know it went super positive in February, which is when the pattern started to get real crazy for California, and it's a very strong warm signal in the East. -WPO is basically mirror image of the winter. https://www.worldclimateservice.com/2021/10/04/western-pacific-oscillation/#:~:text=The Western Pacific Oscillation is a pressure dipole that exists,than a week or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is we'll likely pass that stupid 1.5C threshold of warming everyone worries about. So we can see much sooner than expected what will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 Second half of March was 6 degrees below the 100-year average. So that was fun... There is still quite a bit of snow coming through 4/15. So going to wait a bit longer before I evaluate how well my snow forecast did. Some unusual places should get snow soon.
