Presumably Mr. Masco knows what he's talking about but it seems a big stretch to me to look at this tiny bit of blue in a sea of orange and conclude cold and snowy.
The ECMWF seasonal guidance that came out earlier this week paints a very active picture for the U.S. East Coast this coming winter...
December: an upper trough over the west-central U.S. looks to bring mild, moist, southerly air flows to the eastern seaboard
January: the trough signal slides east and a ridge builds near British Columbia - the East Coast likely isn't as mild as December, but the coldest air will probably still be farther to the west
February: with a strong ridge signal over Alaska and the high latitudes, this month has the highest chance for coastal storms called nor'easters as cold air is deposited southward
More from Masco: "When we look at winters that featured an #Elnino and easterly phase of the #QBO .. You see a VERY cold eastern USA and warmer western USA."
