Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I remember 95-96. It was a beautiful winter in NYC. Lots of snow. All type of records were broken that Winter. Do you have that map that shows the GL's region painted in "Much Above Snowfall"?I just saw the slide in the presentation and it painted the entire state of MI (including Chicago/MKE & GRB) with Much Above Normal snowfall, including the UP. A strip of Above Normal from the TX Pan Handle up towards the southern GL's, including the Midwest. The northern Plains were above normal as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Now we have the JMA agreeing on a moderate strength La Nina, peaking in January...very similar to the CFSv2...my best guess at this stage has been -1.2C.

Tom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Both JMA/CFSv2 are agreeing on a Week 2 cool down as we approach the beginning of the evolution of a brand new LRC. 500mb for Week 2...showing the riding building out west and up NW NAMER.... Week's 3 & 4, the model is suggesting blocking across northern Canada and near the Arctic. Not a big signal this far out which is to be expected. CFSv2 also showing blocking across Canada during this period so we'll see how it plays out. However, one thing I do notice from both models in the Week 3 & 4 range is the PAC jet becomes wildly active. Likely sparked by the Eurasian/Siberian cold that will be brewing in that part of the world and coming off the continent. http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R14_3/Y201709.D2012_gl1.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 CFSv2 seeing a stronger signal for the pocket of warm waters stretching from Hawaii towards the British of Columbia coastline to maintain itself next month. This is a great set up to deflect storms north and buckle the jet down stream. I'm enthusiastic to see this trend in the CFSv2. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/mchen/CFSv2FCST/monthly/images/CFSv2.SST.20170921.201710.gif JMA SST.... http://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/model/map/1mE/map1/img/R07_1/Y201709.D2012_gls.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Caution: For informational purposes only The only time I have seen this before was back in 2013-14 and if the GEFS are right, instead of the PV being parked over the Pole or spinning near Siberia/Russia, it is forecasting rising heights all across Eurasia at 10mb and forcing the PV on this side of the Pole. Just in time for the new LRC to develop. First days of October... The new LRC pattern will be taking shape at the end of this period...I must say, this would be a very favorable pattern for early season cold across N.A. Last year, and the year prior, we saw this feature spinning on the other side of the Pole near Eurasia and parts of Scandinavia. Doesn't look like it this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
