Weak La Nina and a negative QBO usually means cold....hopefully the image below can be seen...
The models are a bit more aggressive on the Nina taking it to -1.1 to -1.3C range and a few even briefly dipping into strong La-Nina range. The trick here is that it is very short-lived and quickly weakens to a Weak La-Nina by mid to late winter.The two concerns about cold we have are- The tendency to have low-pressure systems in the Gulf of Alaska, which leads to the everyone in the US and Southern Canada torches pattern, but does provide drought relief for the Pacific Northwest at least.- Will we see heat release from the mega-drought out west similar to the heat release we saw in 2011-12 with the drought in the southern plains. With those being said there does appear to be at least an average chance at getting blocking in the arctic, which is good news and we may at least have shots of a -AO/-NAO. With all thatdef being said kinda like last winter I like the idea of having a 2-4 week period of pure winter goodness surrounded by a period of average to at times well above average temperatures.
All I want to know is how much IMBY and when those dates are going to be. I really do not need any of the fine details.
I'm expecting anywhere from 80-120 inches.
I need some of what you are smoking.
he is actually telling truth… he moved off to upstate new York for school… right in the heart of the big snow belt.
