Phil Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah, that's true as a general rule, but weaker +ENSO winters can still be decent Jan-Mar: 2006-7 (as you mentioned), 1994-95, 1990-91, 1979-80, 1968-69, 1958-59, 1951-52. If this event reaches moderate status by the OND trimonthly, then you can probably stick a fork in winter from mid January on for both the lowlands and mountains.True, and as I’m sure you’re aware, it’s not only the strength of ENSO itself, but also other external forcings in conjunction with it (such as peripheral tropical & subtropical SSTAs that can also affect convection, and QBO/solar). There are weak +ENSO years that have behaved like powerful El Niños (2014/15, 2004/05, etc) and powerful El Niños that have behaved more like ENSO-neutral (1968/69, 1972/73, etc). It all depends how the tropics and extratropics interact, and on what timescales and seasonalities. So, stuff like the Pacific/Atlantic meridional SST modes, IOD/warm pool, QBO/polar annular modes, and solar forcing(s), can be just as powerful (sometimes even more powerful) influences on extratropical wave dynamics/weather patterns. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 What's your bet on what happens when that monster that Greenland/Baffin Bay has monopolized finally weakens?Given how integrated it is with the off-equator convection in the Pacific and warm pool/OHC gradients, any sustained reversal will shake up the ocean-atmosphere system via the known subtropical conduits. That’s why these regimes often terminate abruptly, rather than gradually. The question is when does it happen? The SSW last winter only temporarily killed it..not long enough to change the self-sustaining boundary conditions that have been sustaining the regime since 2013. Will need strong, highly amplified wave dynamics and favorable solar forcing to flip both the Atlantic/NAO and Pacific/PNA.

Phil Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Insane reversal from the 1950s/1960s. This is the anti-2010/anti-1968. These regime flips are usually pretty quick, and are highly correlated with the PDO/PNA (the PDO actually lags the NAO by approximately 3yrs on average, with a very high correlation coefficient in the derivative). Note how the long term -NAO regime “step changed” to neutral in the early/mid 1970s, and stayed that way until flipping positive in the year of 1989. It remained that way until flipping back to neutral in 1995, then abruptly switched to negative again in 2006. The flip to negative was short lived, though..we flipped back to neutral positive in 2013/14 and quickly swung into nuclear positive territory in 2017.

Phil Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Reducing CO2 emissions might help too. But we all know that ain’t happening.It might help, it might hurt, or it might have no effect in the long run. It’s a pretty complicated topic and we don’t understand it very well. We know the system loves to cycle the NAO and PNA/PDO on all sorts of timescales (and this particular cycle is not (yet) unusual in the context of the Holocene interstadial) so there’s a good chance this is merely another vacillation, common of late-stage interstadials under declining Obliquity. At the very least, the timing is right where you would expect it given the frequencies of the various overlapping periodicities produced by the ocean/atmosphere system since the mid-Holocene transition. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Nina Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 My problem with their forecast is that whoever made their maps is obviously not the same person who wrote it, or if it is the same person, they are clueless to our PNW weather. The obvious contradiction went right over someone's head. The truth is, and I have lived long enough to see a lot of El Nino's, is that the mountains are usually ok with the snowpack for the first half of winter, the true effects of the Nino's aren't until about mid January, then you can stick a fork in winter. The last Nino in 2015-16 showed that, the mountains and ski areas did great for the first part of winter, and then just sort of hung onto their snow for the last part. And of course 2006-2007 was not bad for the lowlands either. By Spring though the snowpack could be low.It seems like eople on the east coast think snow is automatic in the mountains given the moisture. And yes, as an avid snowboarder I can tell that Nino years are front loaded and end very early. That is, if theres even a load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We watered the garden for a few weeks from the middle of July through the middle of August. It was not really necessary in May and June since it rained here on 14 days in each of those months. And by August... the plants were so big that they completely shaded the ground and the need to water faded quickly. And since early September it has rained on 22 out of the last 28 days. We have been pulling in potted plants on the deck to keep them from drowning.

TT-SEA Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Good thing I don't have to worry about the tomatoes! All in good time... October is harvest month. December is the month of snow. Way too much winter there! Even Fairbanks is way warmer right now. And the average growing season in Fairbanks is 110+ days... I think you said it was 100 days there this year.

Definitely pretty short up here, but like I said before we didn't move here for our garden. We moved here because of the winter weather and snow. And summers while short, are beautiful here as well.
