Wintry Winter 2024-25 Discussion

18 inches of snow in Denver. I'm not sure when is the last time I saw that happen so early 👀
 
👀

As of Saturday morning, 19.3 inches of snow have accumulated at the Denver International Airport, more than double the 7.3 inches that Denver typically receives in November, according to the National Weather Service.

The deepest snow measurement across the state was 28 inches in Custer, Lincoln and Pueblo counties.
 
That would be great. You can see a little CAD signature as well. And if we can get more miller B type setups this winter we could tap into the la nina enhanced cold to our north. The miller B storms would get forced to redevelop off our coast and not run up the apps. At least that's what I'm hoping for..
 
This winter ought to be real interesting. Though I’m not as bullish on it being like 2013-14 as say a few months ago, there are still a lot of positives (& negatives too). I can see this being a hybrid/mixed bag of canonical -PNA and -EPO/+TNH at times. Not too confident on which way/how this winter is going to break/evolve. The -EPO/+TNH winters a lot of times buck the typical nina tendencies and are colder mid to late winter.

First real opportunity for legit cold probably comes sometime later in December or early January. By then, the MJO will have likely orbited back into the central pacific and western hemisphere.

Before then, likely in by early to mid December or so, we probably see some high latitude North Pacific blocking (-EPO) as soon as the MJO is entering the West Pacific. When this initially happens, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is accompanied by a SE US ridge
 
I still believe that this pattern upcoming is from the mjo getting into the colder phases for this time of year. That would be my assumption
