And how does that compare against other years being discussed, you ask?
Yep, climate doesn't work like this. Wait and see...

If he's right that really sucks for the start of the ski season cuz it's pretty much a guarantee that if there is a 3 week or so dry spell that it will be replaced by an atmospheric river/pineapple express type pattern. It usually happens that way at this time of year following extended ridging.
Well he is pretty bang on with dry November...wow :clap: :clap:
And here it is..December 2024 all snow geeks have been waiting for :silent: ..with the LR weather "charts" calling for a cold and snowy month. Where's the troffing? :silent: :silent:

So you don’t think we’re going to see -20s on the coast this winter?

I don't think anything about seasonal forecast. It's way too complicated.

What I mean is that we can have a very dry and mild November, then a very dry and mild winter or a very wet and mild winter or a very wet and cold winter or a very dry and cold winter. :lol:

It's unlikely that we have this pattern all winter, so wait to see...

It’s fun to prognosticate.
Fun fact. I think the last -20C on the south coast was 2008

Yes sir. Their data is a bit sketchy that month, unfortunately, but it seems plausible looking at the hourly obs.
