Is winter over for 2024? Teleconnections say 'No'!

It's been a mild, rainy and foggy week and that will continue but does it mean that winter is over? I don't think so. The teleconnections say otherwise.

The AO goes negative after February 11th. The EPO also goes negative after February 11th. The NAO goes negative around the 15th of February. The PNA goes positive after February 10th. So, based on the science of it, winter is set to return by mid February. If you are interested in learning more about the science and the data behind teleconnections, you can find more info here:

Some very light snow is possible Sunday morning but you will have to get up at 4:00AM to see it.

On the other hand, the CFS model is trending warm through March 1 on today's run. Let's see what it says a week from today.
