A comparison Of The Effects Of Teleconnection Patterns on The Total Number And Severity Of Snowstorms From 1994 Through 2024 In The Northeastern United States During The Winter Months Of December Through February.

This research analyzes the comparison of the effects of the teleconnection patterns associated with the the total number of snowstorms and the severity of the quantity of snowfall in the northeastern United States from 1994 through 2024 during the winter months of December through February. Each teleconnection pattern will be studied as to how it relates to the number and quantity of snowfall. Then, these results from each individual teleconnection pattern in the northeast United States will be compared to all of the teleconnections combined to produce results that explains which teleconnection patterns promotes the most snowstorms and the most severe as well from four inches or more of snow. These outcomes of these scenarios will help forecasters determine higher confidence levels in seasonal outlooks as well as issuing snowstorms with different levels of severity by understanding how these climate patterns effect the winter forecasting scenario in this region. The states included will be New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire. This research provides information that is statistically significant and meteorologically reasonable.
