I see this play out almost every single day. I'm amazed at how many people today don't care what others think about them. Integrity...once was a backbone of people, has vanished. Why is it so hard to just be a good person? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannny Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Hey all! Was wondering if anyone knows what happened to WX Disco!? The site disappeared within the last few days.

Does anyone have any info on to what happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Apologize, I'm not exactly sure what your asking. I have never bought into long range forcast my self. I don't invest anything emotionally until it's about 3-4 days out . I don't remember any legitimate long range forcast of cold, or snow last winter other than one December possibility. I believe it showed up in the mid range, and was hyped on twitter, and youtube.

It's a welcome enso state. Most of are best winters come from el nino and neutral states depending on where they set up and how strong they are. Decembers typically torch during ninos and are back loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 18z Euro now has a stronger trailing vort vs a stronger primary that the 12z had. Too early to say if it will help, but the only way we could get snow would be from the trailing vort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 It’s good to see this on the long range GFS towards the end of the month. It fits with some of the good looks that the ensembles have been showing recently for the late month period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. One of the big things he’s been pointing out with regards to the Nino is despite the ocean temp pattern itself indicating easily a strong Nino occurring (+1.9ºC as of 12/11 in Nino 3.4)… indexes like the SOI (southern oscillation index) and MEI (multivariate ENSO index) tell a different story. I don’t fancy myself as an ENSO expert by any means but those indexes are utilized to try to calculate the actual strength of the ENSO event atmospherically. SOI values of -8 and lower are indicative of El Niño conditions being present. The values vary day to day but longer term averages typically reflect the ENSO state. SOURCE According to that, the running 90 day average on that index is only right at the threshold of a Nino, while the 30 day average actually indicates ENSO neutral. So that’s a pretty big disconnect right there. Comparable strength Nino’s generally had significantly more negative values. Here’s the MEI values, compared to some of the other strong Nino episodes. MEI is supposed to be a more accurate representation, as it incorporates 5 different variables vs just one variable with the SOI. MEI Website HERE That index isn’t even close to the biggest Ninos (83, 98, and 16) despite being a strong episode but tracking somewhat closer to the other two stronger ones (86-87 and 91-92) as well as some other winters that had weaker nino’s SST wise. Definitely interesting stuff.. but that doesn’t really clarify whether or not we’ll be snowy unfortunately. Using Harrisburg, 1986-87 had 45.9” ( solidly above average) and 1991-92 had 12.9” (turd winter). We’re still really early into this season and as pointed out previously by many…Nino Decembers are typically warmer than average whether you’re using the good or bad winter analogs. We’re still a ways out in terms of the pattern “showing it’s hand” so to speak on what kind of a Jan and February we’re looking at IMO. I’m just touching on one part of a whole bunch of other factors (NAO/AO, MJO, PNA, stratwarm, Pac pattern in the mid-latitudes EPO/WPO, etc etc). I do like the way things are starting to look going forward, but also am staying mindful that this could definitely go the other way as well. And yes the Nino is forecast to eventually collapse later in the spring next year (and potentially develop back into Nina by next winter) but that’s not a really new development and it’s very likely Nino conditions persist throughout the bulk of this winter. What could occur is the Nino becoming more central/west Pacific based (Aka the Modoki El Niño) which is more supportive of the type of winter weather we’re looking for than an east based Nino. And we’ve already been seeing the waters cooling in the tropical eastern Pac (Nino 1+2). Off the ENSO Update issued Mon 12/11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, weather/forecasts for his area are often the same as many in our SE portion of the LSV'rs, so I'll look at his info any day as it aligns w/ quite a few of us climatologically.
