2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino

I would argue the guys speaking in absolutes that there won't be are crazy. -

Fact, not opinion....1972-1973 and 2015-2016 are the only two intense El Ninos that did not feature at least one storm of over a foot in this area...and I'd take my chances with January 2016 again. -

Hey, I'm not picky...I'll settle for January-February 1983, December 23, 1997 or January 7th, 2024...TBH the 2016 blizzard is the redux I'd pass on. -

ENSO isn't alone in that respect...watch the impact of that gradient between the boiling Kuroshio current and the Kona low west Hawaii and how it may impact the north Pacific along about mid season, which may constructively interfere with other high latitude blocking downstream over NA. -

Thankfully not pretty similar in NE! -

Right...because it had very similar deviations to the ones I expect with this one. -

This is the strongest El Nino ever partly because we have the warmest oceans ever, which means we have more prominent competing forces than ever. -

Well, given how east-based this one is, I think you would want some deviation.... -

Yes, true....I think most consider that a tacit point given the audience we are dealing with, but noted, nonetheless. -

On average over the course of a season, probably, but you are never going to entirely eliminate any degree of seasonal variation as a byproduct of alternate forcing mechanisms...especially in this modern era of being surrounded by heat sinks. -

If NYC doesn't get more snowfall during the coming season than they did in 1997-1998, then I'll hand my site over to @MJO812and dissapear. -

You missed my point...I was referencing amounts relative to average. I understand my climo...I wasn't assessing the possibility of being "shutout"... -

My expectations are low, but not that low..I'll take the over on both of those seasons for snowfall at my locale..especially 2023...1997 will be close. There are pretty clear differences that have been discussed which should cause this season to behave differently than those ones later in the season. That said, early season will probably be worse. I expect a quick recovery after that block...
