↑ This!


That's what I was saying in the Fall thread... Recent years it seems like the Western U.S and northern Plains have benefited from early winter first as the Jet stream digs there, not the East.

Using the Japanese update, I wouldn't mind that. Even though its showing "reds" here, the dividing line is an indication where the Jet stream would be.


So get that Polar Jet stream (black line) to shift south more at times, with an active Sub tropical Jet (green) and we'll get some nice snows across the northern tier and into Northeast

So we should have a snowier season here in the northeast even if it's a bit above average then? One area I'm not very versed with is interpreting these updates. I really don't want another sub 40" snow winter

In my experience those JAMSTEC change quite a bit between September and November. Their sept 2013 forecast predicted warm in the east, and by November it had flipped. We all know how that winter turned out. I pay no attention to JAMSTEC this far out.

Here's hoping to some massive negative anomalies. I want another subzero at Central Park.

Not trusting models too much at this point.

Good point. Same can be said with the CFSv2. It more to look at the general trends though, and if there are model consensus.

I'm loving this winter's analog. 2007-08 was a great winter here.

I want a nice, dry, sunny, blue sky, warm to hot South Florida winter!

Days 78-83, nights 60 degrees.

A cold day of 55 degrees here and there would be okay. But no more than three!
