Wintry Winter 2019-20 Discussion

Here is the initial Maxar winter forecast that was released earlier. Unlike most forecasters shown here, these folks aren’t the least bit cold biased. Accuracy/their record is far more important to them than getting readers overly excited about prospects for a cold winter or predicting high energy usage for energy clients.

That being said, they are predicting the coldest SE winter by a good margin of the last 4 with near the 30 year normal. At ATL, they are predicting +0.5 F for DJF, which is much colder than last winter’s +4 with +0.5 in Dec, +0.1 in Jan, and +1.0 in Feb. So, all near normal months. The last 4 winters have each had 1 or 2 mild months (mainly due to very strong SER) with the other months fairly close to normal. This winter, Maxar is saying that the SER will still be there in the mean but weaker than last winter largely because the warmest equatorial Pacific waters are a little further east (dateline instead of Indonesia) although they also say there still is a notable risk of it being strong again:

**Edit: Maxar also had near normal for the SE US last winter with ~+0.5 at ATL and so they busted way too cold in the SE.

Would like to see Judah’s blog today and the snow builds from around the northern hemisphere. Interesting to see if it plateaus or continues to build.
