genepires Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/seasonal.php?lead=6 had to go there and see the "bad" news. looks like this winter will be warm and dry. suppose that is good (alpine and cragging) and bad (ski pass holder).

genepires Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 except that the warm part of the forecast means it will rain instead of snow at the ski areas. poop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 except that the warm part of the forecast means it will rain instead of snow at the ski areas. poop! We had two pretty good back-to-back ski seasons. I could do with some climbing weather this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lummox Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The forest is predicting an early and cold winter. Read the signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 just by going by the predicted maps, it shows normal temp and below average precip for nearly every month and 3 month timeframe. it is supposed to be colder than normal and drier for the fall. where is the forecast of cold winter you speak of?

G-spotter Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I heard EC is predicting warm and dry for SWBC. I am hoping for a repeat of the glorious winter of 2005 with superhigh snowline and three months of sunny inversion. Alpine nirvana. Skiers can suck it.

lunger Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 yeah, what's up with the ski-hate? these pikers must understand it's THE way to get around in the winter...much more fun than trudging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Trick Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 It's probably because the ice-climbers are in such miserable conditions most of the time, we have to take out our rage on the skiers who just float in pow all winter.

counterfeitfake Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not sure where you're getting the information you're talking about... the pictures in the linked page don't say warm, they say equal chances for above/normal/below temp. They do say below normal precip. The discussion indicates an el nino is likely, but that a strong el nino seems unlikely to develop at this point. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/fxus05.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
