In fact, out of curiosity, could you US dwellers scan the end of Astros opening post and verify snowfall dates/locations??

Thank you for your forecast Astro. A particular thanks for the Mid-West blizzard you have forecast in November for my birthday.  Did this pan out Missouri?? Forecast Check from Middle Earth 1. Winter to start early and end early. Early most definitely here. Even earlier than he specified. Oct-Nov 2.5 to 3 F below normal. With warm-up in Dec - 1st half Jan (+5-6 F) ... colder now. 2. Thanksgiving Blizzard 11/26-12/1. Bingo but slid to north of us. Denver, Nebraska and Minneapolis got ~9" snow Nov. 26-27. 3. Snows specified for SE, Mid Atlantic and NE for 12/11-13 and 1/8-10. I didn't check east of us, but we got 5" on 12/15-16 and 1+" on 1/11. We will see if it ends early. Weather service sometimes has trouble forecasting a week out ... and you know how difficult geographic wave placement is.  Given that Astro's forecast appeared here on Sept. 4 and maybe on his facebook page a few days earlier, I'd say he did pretty good so far. |

Thx, its hard in UK to really verify Astros forecasts.
Any forecast for US is almost certainly irrelevant for N Europe as usually we get the opposite if you guys are cold, as evident this year.
Many interested enthusiasts are pinning hopes on wintery weather on next year as this equates roughly to 2009's position on previous cycle.
It may be another year waiting if Astro is right.
Mostly tho, im waiting for a La Nina which should start to show later this year.
In part, i just want a break from the relentless alarmist hollering which permeates every avenue of meteorological information.
Its really annoying.....

I'd like to do a count on the number of times daily our national broadcaster used the words "climate change". |

Unfortunately, the alarmists are mainly 'do you want fries with that' graduates with zero understanding and are ripe to be herded like sheeple. So if next week it started to snow heavily 1963 style in UK and Europe until June - these people wouldn't be taken aback at the forecast being wrong. On the contrary there would be shrieking of 'we told you so' look the climate has changed  |

Im kinda hoping a few successive years of downward trending temps would shut at least some of them up.
No doubt there will be a "temps are dropping because x y z....but not as much as if co2 wasnt high, and after the drop things will be WORSE THEN WE THOUGHT 😣" brigade.

The leaders of the mob don't care. The operating al-gore-ithm is to keep the money moving. The true believers are more like Joan of Arc with an attitude. The hangers on are busy trying to decide which dress to wear to the protest march. Men and women.  But they ARE irritating. Perhaps they will bring a special hemp blend to the hanging ... like their ancestors did in Salem. Pocahauntus will be leading them ... the Puritan grandmother I'm glad I never had. Mine was actually 1/4 native American ... so I have a special feather to pick with her. |

Hello Astro. Do you have any changes to your near and mid-term forecasts laid out at the beginning of this thread? Your feelings on timing and progression of next La Nina?
Indian Summer 2020 will be followed by a late but another short Winter season of 2020-2021 that begins January 8, 2021 and ends on March 24, 2021.
So, as we head into the winter 2019-2020 expect an early but short, cold and snowy winter season that will give way to an early and long spring season, followed by a short summer 2020 and then a long extended fall season 2020.
Solar year 2020 into the first half of 2021 will provide enough time to get your structures, gardens and farms prepared for the horrendously cold, long and dangerous winter of 2021-2022 that I’ve forecasted.
