11:11 pm
thanksgiving. mike: the winter chill lingers
11:12 pm
11:13 pm
that new hampshire can be covered with record-setting snow in places or it could be dry and mild. so what might we be able to expect this winter? shelley: tonight, stormwatch 9 meteorologist josh judge takes a look at what our recent weather could indicate for the coming months. josh: the winter of 2014 to 2015 will be remembered for back-to-back storms that left record snowfall in parts of the state, like in southeastern new hampshire. then last near record low levels in the temperatures were mild. are there any indicators that can help us predict which scenario we'll see this year? that's the question on everyone's mind. while there's never a guarantee when it comes to weather around here, there are a few things we can look at to make a reasonable guesstimation. you know that last winter was an el ni?o year. it has just been declared that now we are officially in a weak
11:14 pm
surface near the equator in the eastern pacific ocean, the exact opposite of el ni?o. but similarly, la nina acts to bend the jet stream over north america, bringing warmer and drier weather the southern united states, colder air to the northern plains, and wetter conditions around the great lakes. but here in the northeast, the jet stream is often nearby, but may be just north or south of us. since minor fluctuations can cause major differences from one winter to another, we usually can't trend. since this year has been classified as weak, here's the last 10 weak la ni?a seasons and their associated snowfall amounts in concord. can we draw any solid conclusions from them? not really. four of these seasons saw somewhere close to average snowfall three of them well , above normal, and three of them well below normal. since the effects of a weak la
11:15 pm
slight, they can easily be overshadowed by other factors, including the arctic and north atlantic oscillations. you've probably heard of them as the polar vortex. these phenomena change much more frequently, leading to periods of both mild and very cold temperatures. this fall, they have trapped deep cold in siberia, russia which has helped our fall stay , quite mild, but they will likely drift down our way at times. predicting these occurrences can usually only be in advance. here is noaa's three-month climate predictions for december, january, and february. for precipitation, they're calling for drier in the south and wetter in the north, but here in new england, they list us as equal chance. for temperatures, they forecast us to be above normal, which could suggest lower snowfall here. but we've discovered another major influencer here in new hampshire. there appears to be a strong connection between an above average temperature in november,
11:16 pm
in the last 11 years, notice the times that average temperature four is higher than 40 degrees the corresponding snow amounts , are much lower. in fact, in the last 50 years, every single time there was a mild november, the snow that season was below average. every single time. does this guarantee a lower snowfall amount than normal? of course not, but it is very strong evidence that there may be. and so far this month, our now every year, some parts of the state get more snow than others. these numbers and thoughts are simply to convey the averages, to give you a rough idea of what could be. with that in mind, we here in the storm watch 9 weather center believe that this year's snowfall will likely be average to below average, perhaps somewhere in the 40-60 inch range for concord. but as you know, long term predictions here in new england aren't always accurate, so we'll
11:17 pm
storm watch 9. tom: easier to open the former's almanac. i'm just kidding you. [laughter] mike: no. it is very interesting, the farmer's almanac, what they do. they have an entire year. they use solar cycles and a bunch of different things. a try to tie in two or three phenomena it wants. it is a tough c part. mike: we are going to send tom to talk to the farmers almanac. actually, kevin was out there last week. we love those people. we are joking around. we are on the same boat. hopefully it is a boat in a club. right now it is a frozen one. most of this snow from now
11:18 pm
inch, maybe two. up to four. that would be the higher summits of the presidential range. the big travel day on wednesday, bright and cool. we get to thanksgiving day. another weak system will approach. it does not look like a big storm. it may make the roads slick midday or in the evening. your way home from dinner could be dicey on the s. concord. you have to go back seven and a half months to get that cold. the busy wind is bringing out more snow showers in the presidential rain. we will see a few more popping up here and there. you see another disturbance south of qu?bec that will slip to the south and a lot of lake effect snow will continue until
11:19 pm
evening or tomorrow night. we are in the cold zone. that is half the story. the winds are still quite active. it feels like 17 in laconia, 24 in manchester. 22 below a top mount washington. there is a lot of cold air sitting to our west. we will be under this influence of chilly temperatures and weather patterns for the next several days, probably through at least the upcoming weekas southern new hampshire. lots of sun statewide in new hampshire. by the time the cover bumps through your, it is mostly mixed. a fair amount of sun statewide for the big travel day, all over the northeast.
11:20 pm
the north woods. for thanksgiving, lots of clouds, a couple of scattered snow or mixed showers. the best bet for slick roads could be thursday evening into early friday morning. another system will track as we go friday night into saturday. that one may have more moisture and more energy. we will have to wait and see on that one. we have a few more days to watch it. it. i'm sure you found your couple of mornings. tom: let's jump over to jamie. jamie: how about the celtics in minnesota?
