  1. I don't know, everything I have looked at indicates that it's more of a concern than a worry.
  2. I'm about halfway home on this year's effort...bringing a renewed perspective this year that is less ENSO saturated and more CC conscious. Hope to post early next week.
  3. Yes, which is deceiving beause the western Pacific was so different. Weaker MEI/RONI merely mean that that exatra tropical regions will be more influential, but it doesn't necessarily mean cold.
  4. Caveat being I wouldn't quite place last year's El Nino in that grouping...perhaps 1972, but def. not the rest.
  5. 1984 is the only event that was this meager from an ASO ONI standpoint that went on to sniff moderate (-1.1).
  6. While obviously the climate has changed significantly since then, this is clearly the nadir of this cold phase and we should begin to see a recovery in the trend line over the next few years.
  7. Interesting from a weather dork, statistical standpoint, but really not important in the grand scheme. We all know the PDO will be -5.56 in the seasonal mean and have known since like May.
  8. This is what I said to @snowman19when he pointed out that 2016-2017 had somewhat of a +PDO, so we may see even less snowfall relative to that year. While that is true, I do not expect the polar domain to be quite so hostile FWIW.
  9. I have been beating that drum for awhile now....are his posts one sided? Sure, but if that warrants 5 PPD, shit...take a look at my past couple of outlooks and limit me.
  10. I hadn't seen anyone so out of touch to suggest that Bluewave has a cold bias...bravo. Quite literally a first.
  11. I think the past decade or so has aptly demonstrated that Pacific cooperation is more important than blocking in this stout, CC enhanced PAC cold phase.
  12. Having a 1, 3 and 5 yo to take out tonight, bring it on.
  13. It now aligns with where a lot of the seasonals have the warmth centered this winter....in the N plains.....wonder if cold from Canada may be abit more accessible to the NE relative to last year.
  14. Some similarities with respect to winter in these analog packages.
  15. Canada def. won't be as warm as last season because that "El Nina" configuration was a perfect storm for that, so by default much of the nothern US should be a bit cooler...even NE.
  16. I guess the hope this year is that the mean ridge location is actually a bit WSW of us this year....have seen some hints of that in seasonal guidance.
  17. Its easy to say that in hindsight, but those largescale patterns don't always lock into place. The key is knowing when they will and which ones to key in on.
  18. First flakes this AM per wife. 29 off of a high of 49.
  19. JB kept advertising a big cold flip like all season long.
