LA NINA! Does it matter? November 2024 Update ENSO

[@shirleysmith9421]

Thanks Michael for keeping us updated about our weather 😀😂 in Seattle days area Retired on our 70s but at our age we enjoy the snow by viewing it from our Windows and stay in our cozy apartment sipping our coffee staying warm blankets covering our shoulders 😀😉🌫🌬🌫💘

[@PrairiesWeather]

Thanks Michael for the ENSO update. Very informative and wanted to know.

[@drytoast1755]

I want snow for Xmas before we blow up

[@charismalove2633]

😂😂😂😂 same

[@FrostiesTanks]

You do a really good job of explaining weather patterns and their cause/effect relationships. It's really nice to have these complex subjects explained in a way that those of us who are not meteorologists can understand, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. Thank you for doing these!

[@bonniepoole1095]

Love the science and expertise! Keep'em coming!

[@marandamartin9377]

Thank you for the update. I love these educational videos! It is complicated and filled with technical terms but that is how we learn. I appreciate you taking the time to make them and look forward to the next one.

[@TerryFraatz-s7v]

Thank you, Michael! Wow, I see most of us folks actually can't wait for the fluffy stuff (snow) nice to see folks being excited about the possibility of getting the fluffy stuff! Just can't get enough of that fluffy stuff! Wonderful video, dear sir! Active weather friends unite, talk about exciting! Wishing everyone a good evening, and will catch ya in the next one! P.S. Really wonderful of you to go that extra mile for us Michael!😄❄🌨☃❄⛄Don't forget to hit that like for Mike!!!

[@jaymorf7374]

Fun to learn about all the different factors to consider in determining not just a La Nina but LN-like conditions. Thanks, Michael!

New Year's Resolutions: 1. Meditate more 2. Get back in shape 3. Make it through *ONE* winter without a power outage

Philippians 4:8 will help with meditation! God bless!🤗

[@livingintheforest3963]

I wish that’s all I had to worry about

[@pchabanowich]

It is amazing how mild it is here in The 'Couv - we somehow dodged the stormy weather you had in Seattle. A lot of the wind likely headed east, so we didn't get the intensity. The days are mixed being from rainy to a sparkling afternoon light through rifts in the clouds. I love it because it is a perfect autumn - only the oaks and willows keep their leaves in these winds. Have a grand weekend .

[@drewnix3469]

I learn so much from your videos! Thank you.

[@hurricaneheather1420]

Thank you for all you do for us Michael 😊

[@shawnshekari]

Thank you for going through all that. It must be impossible with such a diverse audience to figure out how to try an explain the details. The more you talk through your reasoning the more we all learn.

[@livingintheforest3963]

OK, I don’t know about anyone else but I’m really confused so I’ll just keep paying attention as we go.

[@2023byoml]

Last couple winters have had bad ice storms with really low temps at least in the Portland area hopefully this winter will have a nice regular snow without the ice storms

[@davidhallquist7220]

More snow prediction please!

[@bobberceli6874]

Mike>Great Presentation >Very informative. My observations from the apex of the GOA> All dogs Love Snow!

[@robeast692]

Thank you Michael for all the information I learn alot from you hope we get snow ❄️❄️😊😊😊

[@archerfire77]

Thanks Michael!

[@mattsmith1137]

I just learned a ton of information on ocean temps driving global weather patterns. 👍

[@Robert-ys9zy]

I love a good deep dive into predictive techniques

[@wozow182]

Let’s do this! 🎉

[@thetoffeetable]

This was an excellent explanation! Thanks so much! Request, would you be able to do a detailed video sometime explaining how the QBO phase (both +/-) impacts the upper level patterns?

[@draperone371]

Thank you ❤😊

[@DogBeast221]

I tried to keep up but the Madden-Julian oscillation had me wondering about the Oakland Raiders backfield. My brain is full.

[@jamesreding6336]

You are doing a great job it's not easy

[@NancyAnn67]

Bring on the ❄️❄️

[@brianj7281]

Great video Michael! I'm happy you did a La Nina update as I just read the latest ENSO forecast a few days ago myself. If you are brainstorming ideas for future content, maybe a retrospective on some historical winter storms (ex: Feb 2021)? I'd be curious to get the more academic take on what factors can generate prolific lowland snowmakers in the PacNW.

[@phillipburns8818]

It amazes me how climate change affects weather 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@leilaniunger1528]

🤞🤞snow 🥶lol

[@ElijahBmanWeather]

This certainly look interesting. Too bad we have that +pna developing right now, but with the telleconnectioms suggesting a switch to -pna sometime 2nd half December hoping we can get a ridge up in Alaska.

[@ElijahBmanWeather]

Also about time the east got their cold

[@Graybeard_]

Yay! been waiting for this.

[@nancykisich3263]

Is there a wait for it … a VIN diagram showing a perfect storm of oscillations??

[@CodyStevenson16]

Hey Michael! Long time fan and follower. I lived that you dipped your toe into the MJO in this video and would love a deeper dive if you were interested in that kind of content, I know you mentioned that in today's update. I saw Missoula NWS posted a seasonal update yesterday and had a splash of data in their video regarding the MJO over the Maritime continent and it correlating with arctic outbreaks similar to that of late December 2021- early January of 2022. Some interesting data for sure and was curious if that has caught your eye? I may not be explaining it the best, but the recent Missoula NWS KZbin winter update does a decent job. Hope all is well with you back in Washington!

[@DogBeast221]

QBO?! No wonder I was thinking football with Coach Madden!

[@stevegill866]

Cool!

[@johnp9988]

🍻

[@brienq]

Good video with a lot of data showing the complexity of the situation - thank you for sharing. Any thoughts on if La Nina is more likely to result in more of the atmospheric rivers we had recently and bombogenic cyclones as compared to El Nino or neutral years? Or, is there no correlation? Any thoughts on the huge precip we've already had for the month and how this could be possible for this just being an average La Nina? Where I live in the inland coastal mountain range just east of Florence we've already had 20 in of rain and the normal for Nov. in this location is only about 9 in.

[@brienq]

Also, any predictability for ice storms?

[@genehammond7239]

👍👍👍

[@edwinlipton]

Think you do a good analytical exsplanation there Michael. No offense; those long range forcasts,, remind me of; cajun chicken bone rattlers predicting my future.

[@chrisbrooks3302]

Could you explain how the Moon's obit affects high pressure, North and South (270 miles)

[@DogBeast221]

The moon died? No good can come of that!

[@laughingatlife7100]

👍👍🖖

[@everything2.012]

I need snow now

[@Powder148]

No

[@wayneessar7489]

There was lots recovered in several arrests up here in BC.
