Idk about that, winter can start pretty late here yet still wind up average or even above-average. 1987, 1966 and 2016 didn't get started until around Jan. 19-23 and all three ended above-average. My original point was separating the God-tier winters from the "good, but not great" ones. It has to snow early and snow often to get to that level, and if we're still shutout by the second half of December, you can pretty much kiss all those goodbye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prestige Worldwide Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 7 hours ago, jbenedet said: I agree. There has been a clear subtle trend warmer on the GEFS and EPS for the past week of runs in the medium to long range. As you mentioned, too, the Pacific hasn’t woken up yet; and that changes next week. And ultimately when the shift in the pacific is captured in the initial conditions of guidance, the warmth in NA, generally, is going to surprise bigly to the upside. After reading this (from a respected met) in the enso convo- not sure there should be any vacancies in the panic resort after Christmas this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 2 minutes ago, aldie 22 said: This place yeesh I'm seeing an underlying poo-pooing anybody who posts about whether the warmer state of the globe overall is negatively impacting snowy setups that used to work. On the surface it's a "Why ate you worried about that and it's just Dec 2nd", but underneath that there's an aversion to the whole aspect of a "bade state" and a warmer globe. Some of you act like that couldn't even be a possibility--which I don't understand because we've all been watching the last 7 years. For me, that alone is enough to be skeptical of anything working until we actually see it work THIS season. Sure a setup worked 15-20 years ago...but show me how recently it worked. Yes, we have not had a legit Niño since the 2015-16 super...so that's different from the last 7 years. But you can't just dismiss any concern about certain influences being permanent features that interfere with snowy patterns. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That western pac and IO warm pool is theorized to be a permanent feature courtesy of warming. If so, and if a strong nino isn’t enough to offset, at least we know the party’s over. 23 minutes ago, cbmclean said: Yeah, but that's the canonical Nino eastern CONUS Nino torch, with the big low off the waters near AK. What's being progged is the canonical strong Nina Pacific Warm Blob which has haunted us for the past several years. They both fail for us, but for different reasons. PSUs point is that if the Nina-esque forcing starts shunting aside the Nino forcing, we're not just in for a bad December. What these two posts are referencing is precisely why I cannot fully embrace the possibility of a better winter, or seeing something different than the last 7 years. This stuff could cause a Niño not to work, thereby putting a fork in any above-mediam snow possibilities. We just don't know...that's the thing. We simply don't know, and being skeptical is not illogical given what we've seen. If the Niño works I will be thrilled...but until then...hard to be TOO optimistic just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I actually DO have a true Panic post here. Texas is turning dry again. This Nino is now officially the Un-Nino. It's a strong Nino alright but it isnt going to bring all the rain I was expecting to Texas. Another stark fact has occurred to me as well. There is no Beast subtropical jet. The son of a birtch is weak. We did far better in the Nina pattern with this so-called subtropical jet. Texas was really relying on a wetter fall/winter for Ogallala recharge. That is NOT gonna happen, now. American Southwest IS drying out. People are moving here in droves and I have never seen more construction in Buda and Kyle before but the Diaspora is coming, once we run out of water. Texas will dry out, and will be in exceptional drought status just in time for May 2024 when we will experience the hottest summer ever, with nary a drop of frackin' rain. Mad Max Days are on the way for us soon here in the Parched Southwest. Texans will fight Texans to the very last agonizing drop of the water, as the entire Southwestern US dries up and blows away on the Arabian Jet. I am actually feeling serious Panic up in here, and would you believe it? I am thinking of Jumping, over the frackin' LACK OF RAIN!!!!!!!! In other news........ Mid Atlantic will have a frigid very snowy winter. Summer 2024 will be hot, humid and very WET in the Mid Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to know is this, "Time will tell exactly how the weather transpires, but what is growing ever more certain is that this is no typical El Niño and nor will this be a typical winter season." Pretty clear this is an uphill battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paging @WxWatcher007. Paging @WxWatcher007. Look Reaper, this is not working out here. They do not have the budget to hire more staff, because of your fat cushy pension!!!!!!! Nothing has been right since you went on so-called "retirement"! Reapers do NOT retire! Your job is ETERNAL! Everything up here is going kaput! I have an ear infection thats not healing! The weather has gone completely to shyte, we have a STRONG El Nino that is definitely NOT El Nino'ing correctly, not only is there no frackin' snow in DC, even the 1100 hour models dont have shyte for the entire Mid Atlantic! This is getting completely out of hand! Germany is getting all of our snow! They can't even get out of their second floor windows! Mammoth and Palisades are being forced to make do with 2 inch snowfalls, they are being pennied, nickled and dimed to death! It's worse than Jaws! At least in Jaws all you needed was a bigger boat and you could kill the damn shark! You can't fight an El Nino that won't Nino correctly! Texas where I live is fooking OUT OF RAIN! In a STRONG NINO! Get your sorry 8ss off that damn couch, scrap that retirement, get back to work as The Reaper NOW! I am desperate for destructive Nino floods in south central Texas! You need to Reap! You might have to Reap ME! I am so despondent over no frackin' rain in Texas! Your fat cushy retirement is ruining EVERYTHING! The El Nino won't even Nino now! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
