clskinsfan Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I am actually fine with a Nino peaking in October. We have had 4 Nino's in 18 years. And all of them have delivered. Maybe not wall to wall snow. But they all have been above average snowfall out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayyy Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 looks like we are going big....lets hope for a jan 16 repeeat Spring barrier though, no? I’d hold off a few weeks before getting too excited / worried about the strength of the impending niño. Hopefully we don’t get a super niño. Sure, MAYBE we get lucky and see another once in a blue moon monster like 2016, but those are hard to come by and it’ll likely be followed by another 2+ years of niña. A moderate to borderline strong niño is better for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSharkWX Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I don't think we'll get a super nino, especially coming off of a 3 year nina and a -PDO, theres also usually some time in between super events, 1982 -> 1997 -> 2015 (technically 1972/73 was a strong, not super nino cause its ONI was only barely at super criteria for 2 months, not 3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t think we’ve passed the spring barrier yet… iow I think the models are being too aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterns happen within any string of numbers from random chance. 73 wasn’t really a super Nino so it’s questionable if your pattern is even legit. But a pattern without a logical causality or link is just random chance. There is no logical causality to that pattern you cited. It’s way more likely to just be random chance. Like flipping heads/tails every other flip for a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 @Maestrobjwa another issue with the way you use patterns is not normalizing the data to account for changing norms. This is when you try to use past snowfall results as predictive. Let me illustrate. From 1884-1970 Baltimore never went more than 5 years without a 20” snow season. But that was never predictive that it couldn’t. The first issue is looking at the data closer no one season showed a significant predictive link to the next. The fact it had never gone 6 consecutive years was simply the fact each year had a 58% chance Baltimore got 20” so the odds of getting a 42% result 6 straight times was very low. But once you got to 5 the odds were still 42% it would happen again. It just never had. Until it did. It was only a matter of time! But that fact is even more irrelevant now. Because the odds have changed. Since 1970 it’s happened 3 times! That’s because the odds of 20” in a season dropped from 58% between 1884-1970 to 23% the last 30 years. And running a linear regression shows it’s likely about 18% now! So the odds of going on long runs with less that 20” is increasing because the odds of getting 20” in any given season went from 58% to 18% making that older data even more irrelevant as a predictive factor. So now…Baltimore stands at the end of a 7th season without 20”. And it has never had 8. But that means nothing. With the lowering probability of snow each season it’s only a matter of time. It’s almost inevitable given the current probabilities that eventually Baltimore will get 8 years without 20”. And it’s likely to be next year since the data says in any given season it’s now less than a 20% chance of 20”. Before you jump off a ledge that data is blind to things like enso. Right now we are predicted to get a Nino which would significantly improve our odds. But that’s a completely independent variable. For example if the models are wrong and we end up with an enso neutral next winter then the data says it’s probably about 80% likely we don’t get 20” and go 8 years. Regardless of the fact it’s never happened yet in our records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 We are in somewhat of a global warming spike though. The very fact that Global SSTs could move up so quicky could raise alarms, may keep it closer to the nearest global SSTA max. I have a lot of the same vibes as 2005.

At 8 months out, it's just nice to see something other than boilerplate Nina. The depicted negative height anomalies across the southern half of the US and +heights in the NAO space are refreshing and Nino-ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, on to a non professional. A little over 4 months ago when I issued my winter forecast for my twice weekly newsletter, the CFS was predicting a colder than normal and wetter than normal winter, December - February. We had just the opposite. My track record for the past 15 years has been impressive, this year a total failure, because I weighted the CFS too heavily on what should have been a declining La Nina. The SER acted more like a Nina on steroids! Do any of you guys have any professional thoughts regarding how or why the CFS was such a failure for this past winter?

The CFSs verification is barely above random chance once past it’s month 1 forecast. Frankly none of our seasonal guidance has much success past month 1! We just aren’t there yet. As for the SER, it did respond to a dying Nina, there is just a misconception that I’ve pointed out before wrt what a Nina heading to neutral means. There is the belief in some circles a dying Nina is good but there is no data to support that. Nina’s that enter neutral by March show no increase in snow in the mid atl v Nina’s that stay strong. Furthermore look at the h5 comp for all Nina’s in the last 30 years… there actually isn’t a strong SER signature. That’s another misconception that a Nina=SER. But look at the enso neutral years following a Nina. There’s the SER! This winter actually behaves more like a neutral following a Nina than an actual Nina. In the end the early dying Nina might have killed our winter more than had the Nina not faded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
