Just unbelievable how bad it’s getting. I think it’s time for some good ol’ rain dancing and repenting. The webs in my feet are about gone now and that’s saying a lot considering I live in the desert anyways. Maybe I should get in on those conference calls up at Stampede Pass to find out the scoop behind all this. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Some incredibly interesting stuff happened in the late 1920s through early 1940s that offers a lot of hope going forward. 1929 and 1936 both featured a ridiculously dry October / November with 1929 reaching 80 in Landsburg on October 23. Both years featured abnormally cold mins in November followed by a very wet December and then epic cold Januarys. 1942 featured a very dry September / October (up until Oct 29th). Followed by very wet weather from the very end of Oct through November, a typical December, and then extreme blocking and deep cold in January. We'll see if this year takes a similar path. The theme of these kinds of seasons seems to be cold holding off until the heart of the winter. 2 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 If this MJO wave keeps going the pattern will have to change when the wave gets to a favorable position for us. If the wave dies this could go on for a long time. There are years in the past that went dry through most of November. None of those years had the insane dryness going into autumn that we had this year though. If November is dry it should be cold if past history has anything to say about it. No matter how you slice it this is getting weird though. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
