It's one of my favorite places on this planet. I love Colorado skiing, and love Keystone Resort. :D

Ben Noll had a great post this am comparing 2009 to 2018. Two things to note: It's MUCH warmer in the NPac. It's much cooler in the Indian Ocean.

To our mets out there, how will this make 2018 DIFFERENT than 2009. Will the IO cooling move the main forcing in the pacific westward? Will there be a persistent high in the NPac? Any thoughts on upcoming winter would be great.

From what I'm gathering from some of the pro mets I follow: Besides the ones already mentioned, the other important factor is obviously the MJO - When the Indian Ocean is cooler to the east than the west and the tropical Pacific is warmer, it tends to favor neutral or cold phase MJOs (Phases 8, 1, 2 & 3). There is less of a chance of the major warm phase MJOs (Phases 4, 5 & 6) getting as much amplitude.

...or maybe the "warm rain capital of Texas"...

My cold-mongering coworker of 30 years is seeing the winter of 73 as an analog for this winter. I think there were 3-4 snow events on the Gulf Coast that winter.

I hope not. I remember 73 vividly. Gulfport Ms. was paralyzed by an ice storm. My father couldn't go to work for three days. We lived on top of a hill. There were two ways out. Sliding into a major road wasn't an option. We the kids also missed a week of school. The first day was fun. The last 4 without electricity in the freezing cold wasn't.

I think '72-'73. Houston had 3 snow events this winter. All in '73. Most snow events for us . Curious to hear the details, but if you look at SST, i can see the comparisons.

Mark my words my friends the heat lovers better find somewhere else to stay this winter :lol: :lol: I see pattern change coming rapidly within the next 5-7 days sweeping across the SRN Plains could have a frost/frz by late in the weekend into early next week across portions of OK/TX Panhandles and potentially as far south as even Central OK (OKC METRO) By about next Monday AM... After that I see a gradual "step down" process into Winter in the coming weeks... Mid-November could turn active expect this to be a BUSY winter unlike the last several years in both OK & TX MULTIPLE SNOW/ICE storms a real possibility IMO with the way the cards are stacking up...

I'd agree about the active winter. El Nino, if not Super, almost always delivers ice and snow to the southern plains. The weak to moderate events are just about a lock for activity. It's no coincidence the snowiest winters for DFW generally all occur during weak or moderate El Nino.
