Makes sense because it's also been too far west, along with everything else...just less so. I'm just saying, it may very well have been best, but it's not perfect. -

My latest call as of Latter September was peak RONI between 3 and 3.2 and 3.4 to 3.6 for ONI during NDJ. One final assessment next week. -

Maybe the EURO is doing better than the guidance continuously underestimating El Niño, but it looks like it's been overshooting to me. -

I'm surprised that 1963 and 2002 are there. -

That is a good point....like @LakePaste25said, maybe it just means the extreme anomalies are more relegated to the nation's mid-section. -

Do you think that dampens any later season correlations? -

This ties in will with all of Chuck's research, as well as my analog composite. Now, as I'm sure @forkyfork and @bluewavewith will point out faster than the rate at which the polar ice caps are melting, this doesn't guarantee much in terms of sensible weather...but it is what it is. -

Sure, but it's not like the coast would benefit much this early, anyway.....like I said, I think the intrigue is for later in the season. Sometimes major early disruptions predispose the strat to future occurrences later in the season. -

I know it sounds cliche, but awful forecasts are the best learning tools....it's all about perspective. You just have to own it and approach with an open mind. -

@forkyforkMy mistake concerning underselling ENSO early on was being focused too much on periodicity given the magnitude of the 2023 event just 3 years ago, but upon gaining a more through appreciation for the impact that the solar cycle on ENSO, I now realize that it was 2023 that was the anomaly given that it occurred near solar max. This event is occurring right in the descending solar wheelhouse. My guess is the magnitude of 2023 was largely the result of CC in that it represented a failed effort to redistribute that warm pool eastward...if at first you don't succeed.... -

Everyone who puts themselves out there is going to miss...like he missed last year...some our transparent and honest with ourselves, others not so much. -

For above average snowfall in my area? Certainly...old news. -

Owning mistakes and learning from them is more important than flaunting victories. I don't hide from them at all....people value transparency. Thanks.
