40/70 Benchmark

Yea, subtle shift with the "angle of the dangle" of that vortex, and whole new pattern. It was not only the -WPO ridge shifting east, but the /AONAO blocking dissipated, so we got the dreaded elongation of the "football" shaped PV.

It will also be interesting to see how the burgeoning warm ENSO interacts with the apparent north Pacific phase change, as we have clearly shifted to more of a -WPO base-state. If El Nino does grow as powerful as some suspect, it may be more like a 1982-1983 type of deal, where as the north Pacific was a bit more favorable.

I don't understand why folks can't grasp the fact that a mere "30% chance of showers" in the p&c will trigger the rain icon in the graphics. It's really not complicated at all.

PNA was only positive in January, as expected.

Takes a monster -WPO.

I raked through everything last weekend...picked up all of the sticks, etc.

Yes, this is why I am going to be keeping a close vigil on the RONI/ONI separation. I don't view the delta as a positive for winter enthusiasts.

26.4 for low...mind must have stayed up a bit because I didn't radiate that well.

Half inch?

Nothing new...

Sorry about the Yanks....it will make sense in about 6 months. I'm honestly not torn up over the Sox...I have zero expectations bc this ownership isn't committed. I haven't stepped foot in Fenway in several years.

Ginxy.

Bizarre.
