Toot, its been a while. Wanted to say hi. Not sure if u know this, but the CFSV2 came in the other day and it now shows a mod elnino developing in its plumes. I read it over at storm 2k the other day. Also, the EURO seasonal outlook came in for oct-dec, and so far it shows a weak to mod elnino, and it supposed to be westbased. This is just an early forecast, but i also read it at american weather. U may can post the link for us. Its over at the regional forecast page on american. Then you look for the MIDATLANTIC section. Sure would like to see a few winter events and cold artic blasts this winter sneaky

Yeah all seasonal models are saying coldest winter in several YEARS

You mean colder than 2009-10, or 2010-11? Considering those are the two coldest winters I can remember since the 90’s. Razz

by **buddy17474** 2012-06-27, 12:18 am

To me, 2009-10 was colder, 2010-11 was snowier.

I plan on sticking my head deep into some analog data this weekend and maybe come up with a preliminary outlook for this winter. Looks like there will be many from the 1950's and the 1970's

Doing a little research tonight and I have ran into a bad statistic for winter weather lovers. This june the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) registered -2.53....That's insanely negative!!

Now for the bad news...I have only found 5 years since 1950 that the NAO averaged at least -1.50 in the month of June...ALL 5 YEARS FEATURED A POSITIVE NAO THE FOLLOWING WINTER torch

Here is the data layed out like --> YEAR/NAO DURING JUNE/ENSO THE FOLLOWING WINTER

1998 -2.72 MOD NINA
1987 -1.82 MOD NINO
1982 -1.63 STRONG NINO
1971 -1.57 WEAK NINA
1951 -1.64 MOD NINO

larry cosgrove has a nice newsletter tonight folks... i would paste if could, already seeing signs of a much cooler upcoming fall n winter also... east of the continent divide...on a shorter term... he says after next week this hot pattern starts to break down big time... i have said this all along, back end of summer will be much cooler n wetter than average... as the characteristics of elnino slowly starts to develop... i think we will be rewarded dearly with a nice winter this 12 13 year... we surely did pay for it last year... we deserve it... i am starting to think we may have a fairly active late summer and early fall severe season on our hands... i will make a topic on tis a tad latter down the road... stay tuned.

by **Toot** 2012-07-22, 10:19 pm

The CFS mean has been consistently producing a negative NAO for this coming winter. This model has 4 ensembles that update daily. Most everything as you would imagine also changes on a daily basis. The one thing that hasnt changed very much from day to day is the signs of a negative NAO and a cold eastern US.

Of course this is just one model system and could very well be wrong. I myself would like to see the NAO start going positive soon..because it will probably hang around in positive territory for a couple of months before going back negative and I dont wont it to stay negative thru fall and end up positive during winter.

It very well could stay negative right up through winter but it dont usually happen that way..but its always possible

by **Stovepipe** 2012-07-23, 8:58 am

From what I could tell during winter and spring, the CFS had a pretty decent track record. Don Sutherland seems to take it seriously.

by **tennessee storm09** 2012-07-23, 5:17 pm

from what i have read from the ole man over the years... don is a warm bias person... he is already dreading this winter.

Possibly, but he absolutely nailed December 2011 through April 2012. He is very open about the statistical methods he is using. It's not just a hunch.

Up close and personal with Frankie Mcdowell and his winter forecast for the eastern US

Lol... what's that Frankie? 960Mb megabomb storms this winter...I'll take em beer

Friggin awesome. Gotta love Frankie.

rock on

I came across an old AccuWx article from from September 2010. Joe Bastardi talks bout the winters of 2012, 2013 & 2014, and the possiblity of historic cold.

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/combination-of-factors-could-m/36990

Here's the video....

With all the recent chatter, I can't help but feel a little optimistic about the coming winter. Smile

by **Toot** 2012-07-27, 10:49 pm

I remember those well Grimkus.

Just based on past PDO cycles/behavior I would say the chances are high for a couple of historically cold winters sometime this decade. Picking which years they are likely to happen is the hard part.

ENSO forecasts this coming winter certainly favors cold. I just wish the NAO was as predictable as ENSO. We'd have it all figured out then...or at least we'd think we do. But then again that would probably take the fun out of it...lol

Historic or not this coming winter will almost certainly be better than last mad
