Long range 2m temp progs are garbage..just check the H5 and make your own inferences. To me, that prog says that the majority of the storms will not be pretty, but there should be plenty of cold around.
2014-15 was probably my second best, but def. an element of "right for the wrong reason" (tied huge snows to NAO, not EPO) that didn't sit well with me. I can't stand when people (cou-JUDAH-gh) whistle past that.
I know its a bit above average...its probably not 1995-1996, but my point is that I don't see anything that renders that a non-starter. Sure, latitude is beneficial...as is often the case in a la nina.
I can already see the bitterness and resentment at the ready when the CT clan tagged my response to raindancewx's sneak preview. lol
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.
