Weather will be the key, and here's y boy Joe Bastardi's call for a colder winter, especially in Dec. PDO Arctic Outbreaks The discovery in 1996 that there is a slow fluctuation of water temperatures in the northern Pacific has led to a new term: Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Those temperatures are turning colder. "In the cold phase of the PDO, there is overall less typhoon activity. The El Ninos that do occur tend to (produce) a much colder and snowier signal across the eastern and southern United States," Bastardi said. The El Nino winter of 1969-70 happened during a PDO cold phase, he said. A high number of tropical storms usually is a sign that the Atlantic Ocean wants to play a bigger role in the weather patterns. The warmer-than-normal waters of the Atlantic Ocean not only helped spawn 12 tropical storms or hurricanes, but they can also produce lethargic high-pressure systems that block or slow down the progression of storms across the United States, Bastardi said. The Blizzard of '78 that January was an instance of a storm that roared out of the Gulf then combined with two other storms and locked in place over Lake Erie, he said. In those instances, the jet stream yo-yos up and down. "That is a dangerous weather pattern -- one that is conducive to Arctic outbreaks," Bastardi said.
