  1. Really seemed to have trouble collecting his thoughts in that video...
  2. List me all of the la Nina winters that the mid atl did well with a +NAO...
  3. That to me implies that you even with the N PAC ridging positioned well, you still need an NAO. I don't like the odds of that. I may be able to get away with it...but most won't.
  4. I can buy that fluctuating between neutral and -1SD is better than stagnating at -2SD.
  5. Yea, an NAO that fluctuates between "your porked" and "your f*cked" like last season is no bueno.
  6. @raindancewx....do you have any stats to support that the QBO trend is as important as the state? Not doubting it, but just wondering.
  7. Your analogs are like mine...feast or famine snowfall around this area. I would take 2007-2008 in a heartbeat. Sign me up....like 90" here with a steep gradient to the south. I doubt it will be as active as that season, as NNE through Montreal and Quebec had like 5' of snowpack all winter.
  8. It wasn't a "block", per se....but we did time some NAO assist very well for the 1/11 blizzard. Not sure about latter January. @Ginx snewx can tell you all about transient NAO assist haha He loves it.
  9. I think we may see alot of that this fall....just a hunch.
  10. @raindancewx What are your thoughts on this research? +QBO in cool ENSO seasons favoring more N PAC ridging....
  11. Looks more and more like the path to a very good winter may be though the NPAC....interesting perspective in relation to the QBO shared in the mid atl forum. I really like griteater's stuff.
  12. Wow....GREAT stuff. Food for thought, and it makes sense in that we use the QBO as a predictor for the polar fields, however, I have aways known the +QBO to favor less blocking (+NAO/AO). But, if it were to favor more N PAC blocking during la nina seasons, then that could change things. Only thing with 2010-2011 is that we also had some NAO assist. Interesting... The question I have is why is the dataset limited to la nina seasons following el nino seasons?
  13. I never, ever would have guessed....lol
  14. Yea, unless something changes, not a good look for you guys....even our better years from that composite still sucked for you. But hey....its not my final call, and the way my last two outlooks have done, it will be good new for you guys if it does end up being my final call.
  15. You should be in a better spot than most of us in SNE.
  16. We will need some luck as far as the timing of the highs etc, but it can be done.
  17. Negative correlation with October...positive with Novie. Nothing earth shatteringly strong..
  18. While the hindsight composite could reflect that, it doesn't mean we can't get a good stretch....especially early. Also keep in mind that the dry stretch haas to end at some point.
  19. Not so preliminary thoughts....but looong was from anything definitive. I offer up composites as coalesce my thoughts throughout the fall. Not at all a forecast. This is evolving quickly IMO. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2020/09/structural-changes-observed-in.html
