It was almost dominant in 2009-10, but we didn't see much of a winter here (at least from a snowfall perspective) because we were 0 for 9 on nor'easters, the result of a PV being too far south, stifling lake effect and steering storms away. Seems as though when the -NAO is the prevalent teleconnection, our winters are consistently cold and snowy. Last winter, being an -EPO season, featured more oscillating temperatures than the general public remembers. You would think last winter featured below freezing temps for months in a row. We had a two week stretch that was above normal, frequently in the 40s, during the first part of January. That was following another warm up in the third week of December. Then we went into the deep freeze for four weeks, before another warm up into the 50s in mid to late Feburary. Overall, it was a long winter, but not without interruptions. 2010-11, 2002-03 on the other hand…had NO warmups, minus a 36 hour stretch in Feb. 2011, where it warmed up and cooled off quickly within a day. I don't believe there was ANY warm up in 2002-03.Chris now in Penfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-83140635684948543822014-05-27T21:08:32.475-04:002014-05-27T21:08:32.475-04:00So I can be in the blog and stay up late and watch...So I can be in the blog and stay up late and watch TV and eat ice cream and Scottie won't yell at me?

I dunno, there's banana flavor in it so I suppose that makes it summery. lolMantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-40522263027577623902014-05-24T15:27:45.832-04:002014-05-24T15:27:45.832-04:00Thing is that the PV placement may have actually b...Thing is that the PV placement may have actually been driven by a teleconnection (EPO) being in the negative phase for most of the winter. The various teleconnections do sometimes mitigate each others effects, or even enhance them, but sometimes we get a case where a single very prevalent one seems to completely take the reins. Curiously, our old friend the NAO has been probably the least influential teleconnection of any of the major ones over the past three winters. The AO was the most significant driver of 2011-12, the PNA during the following winter and the EPO most recently.<br /><br />"Seems as though the snowpack in October in Siberia is the most reliable predictor we have!"<br /><br />The Siberian snow cover hypothesis is definitely a very promising one at the moment, but still in relative infancy.Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-14841178789486028392014-05-24T08:42:15.083-04:002014-05-24T08:42:15.083-04:00By extended, how long are you talking?

The pattern for J-J-A seems to be set in place. Perhaps mid-to-late August it will change with the influence of the anticipated El Nino. I will be the first to go on the record to predict a milder winter with frequent up and down temps, similar to 94-95 and 97-98. I remember a 70 F day in Feb 1998…I bet we see that again…all dependent upon an El Nino forming AND a less than prominent -NAO and -AO.<br /><br />This winter certainly taught me that no teleconnection factor outweighs another…we barely had a negative NAO and AO all winter, yet look at the way the winter turned out due to the placement of the PV…NAO and AO were nearly non-factors.
