Phil Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 1 hour ago, snow_wizard said: Well...I have a very interesting list of Octobers that averaged below 52.0 for the first half of October from 1945 to present at SEA. This is regardless of ENSO and is pretty astonishing. This year came in number 6 on the list. 1946 - 49.7 - Cold snowy November and cold snowy January. 1949 - 50.2 - Huge winter 1955 - 51.8 - Consistently cold and snowy winter 1968 - 50.9 - Huge winter 1973 - 50.8 - Cool winter (probably the weakest of the bunch) 1981 - 50.8 - Major cold outbreak and snow in January 1983 - 51.6 - Very cold December 1990 - 51.6 - Epic December 2021 - 51.3 - ? All in all a really strong batch of winters for just screening the years with one set of criteria. Unfortunately there are no Niña/-QBO years on that list. Have to be careful with this type of analysis since you’re looking at a conglomeration of variables and differential/state dependent outcomes. Furthermore, it’s debatable whether early/mid-20th century winters should even be considered as analogs in this day an age. The systemic mean state is so far removed from that now. 2 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...

snow_wizard Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 One thing that's going to be interesting to see is if we get one of our infamous late October Arctic outbreaks with that SSW going on right now. Very possible the models just aren't reacting to it yet. If we get that this will easily be one of the coldest Octobers ever recorded if not the coldest. Looking at the global SST maps it's apparent we have a full blown Nina / -PDO right now. The PDO had already been low, but now it's obviously tanked. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
