AbbyJr Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 6 hours ago, Phil said: A month ago I was optimistic Nov/Dec could pull something off in the arctic air department, but now the signal is much more of the mild/zonal variety, with +EPO/+NPO —> +PNA evolution from (in-situ) strong PV from December into early January. Nothing is ever certain in LR forecasting, but I don’t see a reason to suspect a substantial deviation from El Niño climatology at this point. I’ve been looking hard for it, but the conduits thru which it could happen look more like hail mary long shots (IMO). At least the ECMWF continues to show a weakening of the PV. While still low, looks like an increasing number of members are now showing a full wind reversal. Will be interesting to see if we can pull off a major SSW event this winter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the mid to long range, the ensembles are more important. And it's also since its a low resolution, it won't be useful in short term forecasts and precip totals, etc. But still, this is only going to get better and better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunriver Snow Zone Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 How well does this current weather pattern compare to November 2008? I remember it being quite dry as well, but being dry isn't enough for it to be a good analog to get me excited for this December. I remember our snow depth peaking at 43" on December 23rd. And I believe on Christmas it was 39" with some fresh snow falling. It was amazing, haven't had a Christmas as good as that one since then. Would be nice if that happened, as I am hosting for Christmas this year, nothings better then taking the whole family skiing and sledding on Christmas. 1 Quote Coldest temp this winter: -7 Jan 13th Snow depth at Mount Bachelor (last updated April 29th) 88" Snow depth at my home (updated April 29th) late season 1"! 23-24 seasonal snowfall at home (updated April 29th) 92"!!
