The way it looks to me is it will be an Ohio Valley/East Coast winter. IF winter shows at all, it's likely to be (drum roll pls) a back-end deal. Just the kind of rut we seem to be stuck in lately and most are sick of including your's truly. This is gonna take some time. I think Tom stepped out of the pilot's house when he saw the hand writing on the proverbial wall tbh. grace post: For the U.S. what needs to occur is that the walker cell needs to strengthen & the GOA slp retrograde. Until this occurs it doesn't really make a difference what else is going on. Hopefully the MJO wave can help shake things up....if it occurs. I'm not up on the Walker Cell but we've all been talking about the GOA situation needing to change. I'm with Tom. Might as well enjoy extended summer if given the option of this or that (AZ, FL, etc). Could be worse I guess. Cold and dry we did circa '79-80 (no snow for the Olympics = pathetic!).

The only model with any saving grace is the NCAR CESM...I read that it nailed the summer forecast and has a colder/snowier look for us. Meanwhile, after reading AER's blog this morning, he touched on an important idea that should happen in the N PAC. Something I have been paying attention to and how this will influence the jet stream later in December. Warmer than normal SSTs in the northern North Pacific with colder than normal SSTs across the mid-latitudes could favor a southward shift the in the Jet Stream across the North Pacific this winter. The cool waters across the mid-latitudes could help strengthen the Aleutians low further south opposite to what might be expected during La Niña.

westMJim Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Now while the majority of the long-range winter outlooks have hinted towards a cold and snowy winter (and that still may happen) but there are now more and more hints that at least November AND now December may still be very mild and even turn dry. So at this time I think I will revise my winter snow fall amount for west Michigan. My old ideas were from 50” towards Lansing to 105” at the lake shore (78” in metro Grand Rapids) my thinking now is more like 40” to our east and maybe 80” at the lake shore and now around 60” at Grand Rapids.

I can not attached imagine about 500 mb anomalies with Nada. I hope you can open this link. Is a table made from my Italian weather forum. http://www.meteonetwork.it/models/mjo/11/nada_1_nov_low.png I can't wait to see first snowflakes of the season. Hope the pattern will change quickly.

Is a table made from my Italian weather forum. http://www.meteonetwork.it/models/mjo/11/nada_1_nov_low.png I can't wait to see first snowflakes of the season. Hope the pattern will change quickly. I can't stand anymore this warm and sunny weather.Greetings A big welcome to the forum! Did you get a lot of snow where you were from in Italy?

An italian the loves snow Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 A big welcome to the forum! Did you get a lot of snow where you were from in Italy? Here's a cool 3D vid of the PV split in Jan '09: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bminxfVGa5wThank you for welcoming. In my area, south Italy, in these last years we get mild winters and little snow but the 2012, in February, when in many places, including mine, we beat records of amount.

Enjoy!Thank you Niko. I hope to contribute to discussion. Meanwhile, i see some slight improvement this morning in the models, especially Gfs and Ens. But even Canadian model is not too bad like past days run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 One question: what you mean when you say FWIW?I don't understand all the weather acronyms.Thanks That's not a wx acronym, it's American textese for "For What It's Worth".. Folks still hopeful and discussing PV splitting benefits of the recent SSW.

Tom Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Borrowed this map from a met that uses the POAMA model and its showing a snowier trend for the month of December across the Plains/Midwest/Lakes/OV. SW Flow may not be that far off??? BTW, I saw this map a couple weeks ago and it pounded British Columbia. So to see it backing off in western Canada may mean the model is seeing ridging there now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thank you Niko. I hope to contribute to discussion.Meanwhile, i see some slight improvement this morning in the models, especially Gfs and Ens. But even Canadian model is not too bad like past days run.I am waiting to get snowstorms in December, J, AND F. Although, I wouldn't mind getting one in late November, right after Thanksgiving. One thing is for sure, this winter will be more strident than last year. BTW: where are you located?

Andrew NE Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Does the LRC cycle usually end around the 10th of the month or 20th of this month? I have been following Gary pretty consistent the last 4-5 months trying to learn more about this LRC deal, just curious has anyone disproved his theory. He seems to ride the high horse that he is always correct(and maybe he has been). I feel like there has not been the influx of winter weather predictions posted in here compared to previous years from outside mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so far its been way above normal and mostly dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
