That was my best outlook of the six that I have issued. I emphasized how extreme each of those periods would be, and even implied a white xmas (xmas AM storm).
Its been all down hill from there-
I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar seasonal progression.....quick start, then we stagnate in January....abysmal February, then a happy ending. Probably not as extreme with the Feb warmth, or the happy ending.
Wow.....you actually crush my area with snow. 127% of normal?
I never would have guessed that.
Good luck.
Not so secret about your analogs anymore haha. What is the rationale behind the inclusion of 2012-2013 and last season?
I have always thought 1995-96 behaved more like a modest modoki el nino. Granted, 25 years ago, I know...
I would love if this one acted more like a traditional modest el nino lol
I would be modestly surprised if this la nina registered as an official moderate event per ONI, and would be stunned if it ended up strong...I guess we will see.
I offered that up, and Tip refuted it.....feels the ability ENSO to force is compromised all around.
I am confident that this la nina is at least somewhat coupled, though.
Soon to be hurricane DELTA....poised to explode before threatening NO as a minimal to moderate cane.

I would be surprised if January was a good retention month like January 2009...I think I cracked freezing like once in a month. But I would see some decent snows amidst inferior retention.
I could see a late season recovery, but I'm not baking that into the snow totals this go around....small changes in timing can destroy the outlook, as I saw last year. Gotta be careful after two consecutive snowfall forecasts busted too high.
