  1. My main issues with 2007-2008 is the la nina intensity and QBO, which I have seen you discuss. Not a terrible analog, though.
  2. Look like avg precip north of the pike, if we want to split hairs at several months lead. :LOL:
  3. Megalopolis system, December 1981 event, Blizz of April '82 and the March 30 1984 event stand out in my mind....
  4. That is bad news...you always want the cool anomalies in the eastern regions, regardless of ENSO.
  5. I think you mean January 1987....
  6. That has zero to do with my actual outlook. Its simply a base ENSO composite.
  7. Here is my insanely preliminary weak la nina composite....only sorted by ENSO, at this point.
  8. My next blog will start getting more into the particulars of the weak la nina composite years. I am very confident we weak nina....highly doubt cold-neutral.
  9. I never realized how insanely close it was for me in Wilmington...I wasn't as scrupulous back then as I am today. It started snowing heavy in MBY, and I was like.....okay, we good. Little did I know that it was relatively inconsequential snow in like Lawrence/N Andover...
  10. Thank god that I wasn't at my current spot near the NH border in Methuen, then....I would have swan dived into the Merrimack. I remember laughing at the 5" of pixie dust that was reported in Methuen, while staring out the window in Wilmington at my 18-20" of fluff.
  11. I ruled out a cat 5...which it didn't achieve. I didn't forecast a cat 1...I forecasted a 3.
  12. Forecast for Laura was nearly flawless in terms of track from a pretty extended lead (over 80 hours), while the intensity forecast left something to be desired. However, the error was pretty acceptable given the 30 hour lead time from issuance to landfall. Final Grade: B https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2020/08/devastating-hurricane-laura-verification.html
  13. There is always a change with a weak ENSO....never a non-starter. That said, it could still be a terd...as we have seen for two years running.
  14. A twitter met who likes to be a contrarian, but doesn't like to be wrong....dangerous life.
  15. What else are you supposed to do, aside from measure the winds with planes and sample the pressure...lol Maybe he should grab an anemometer and jump on an oil rig and wait..
  16. The pressure is pretty commensurate with the listed max sustained winds...not sure why anyone would think that...
  17. He's falling into that trap of reaching to perpetuate a bad forecast's lifespan. Just let it go..it only compounds matters and makes it worse.
  18. I think it may be within several hours of peaking, but yea...no idea what Cranky smoked. I'd be cranky, too if I were staring down the barrel of that bust.
  19. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2020/08/hurricane-laura-targets-tx-la-final-call.html Orange, LA 1am Thursday 110-125mph
