Remember folks; head out to OMSI on October 16th at 10 AM for the annual "What Will Winter Be Like?" meeting sponsored by the Oregon AMS and of course, OMSI. This meeting will offer insight from highly respected and talented professionals in the field of Atmospheric Sciences, Climate and even some Astrology (Sun Cycles)! This will be a good opportunity to get a consensus of what the scientist think will play role factors in this upcoming winter. They offer good explanations with great data, but also keep anything open when it comes to actually determining a prediction synopsis, with all the role factors stated included. As you know, or should know, these predictions should be used ONLY as a map (of guidance) outlining the current atmospheric state with regards to historical analogs saying what will most likely happen and point out events that we may be overdue for, and increased potential with the right atmospheric state. It’s impossible to say how much snow we will get in any given winter, all’s we can give you is either the increased risk and why, or lack of risk and why for any given winter. Just always remember to keep an open mind when determining a forecast, as well as historical knowledge of past events. Keep these factors in line, and keep things realistic, you should be successful. More info of the upcoming meeting you can find by clicking the link below, hope to see you all there!
