    Yea, I wanted to use it in my blog update last week....sucks.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    I would go: 2017-2018 2020-2021 2016-2017 2023-2024 2019-2020 2018-2019 2022-2023 2021-2022 2024-2025

    The Jan 23, 2016 event game me an inch or two of sand...March 2018 was one of my best months of record with a 31" storm.
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Pray for a cold front.....FAST.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, understood with respect to where the correction vector was in the medium range and on a seasonal level in non-mismatch years.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, no argument there. Last season was a glaring deviation from the norm in that respect.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    94 yesterday...should easily eclipse that today.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    Pretty sure I recall @bluewave stating that the Euro was too warm for last winter....but you're right for the most part.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    I don't. I try to call BS when I think they are wrong, as I did last year when they bailed on cool ENSO. I am confident they are too meager with it yet again.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    I default to CPC...obviously if the data I am using is ultimately incorrect, then that changes things.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    Okay...that was a no-brainer IMO. My guess on ONI right now is -0.5 to -0.7.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    If you mean official La Niña, I think it's insane to be confident of that right now. Simply ONI peak, sure.

    @snowman19 The fact that region 1.2 is so small skews the EMI away from heavily east based events....if you look at this graphic I made of EMI rankings since 1980, the only event in positive territory is 1985, but weakly positive (east-based) events are still considered east-based. The Jamstec ensemble mean forecast is most similar to 1995, 2017 and 2021.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    It certainly doesn't argue for a Modoki. I agree that it isn't east-based in the sense that it matches up with the most extreme members of that grouping, but region 1.2 is so small that it doesn't weight the index much. When considering the subsurface cold pool is not below region 4 and is under region 3, the EMI would be biased slightly east, as the JAMSTEC data forecasts. I do agree that it isn't a huge deal since it will be so weak.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Completely agree with your bolded take.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    But he loves to call out the speculative posts of others from months earlier that didn't turn out to be correct...not to mention routinely make baseless claims of plagarism. Yea, he wasn't argumentative at all. I get @so_whats_happening's frustration with the bickering, but the his raindance reference was one of the least insightful posts in the entire thread given he was one of the more incendiary posters. I agree regarding the quality of his analysis for the most part.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    I sense a quoted tweet from Mr. Miagi's nephew about how its been the 3rd hottest Summer in Japan in over 150 years of data, and the fish population is suffering.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think November isn't as impacted by the expanding Hadley Cell because of the shorter wavelengths......once those lengthen, December has been more prone to the milder patterns until we are deep enough into the cold season to offset enough to allow for coastal snow.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    The wave lengths are in flux at that time of year..I think that may be why. Easterly QBO and cool ENSO combos have had some active Decembers.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not really, but I would still rather it not be Modoki all else equal. Plus you can never trust a cool ENSO HC alignment to not overperform in this regime.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    It waned a bit last cold season, but its ramped back up.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    I'm not saying we will see the snowfall March 2018 did, but I think it will be better than last year. March 2023 with a bit tamer RNA would nail most of SNE.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think March will be more favorable than last year...I also think the cool ENSO event will be more east-based...last year was a Modoki. But that end of season PV disruption should be earlier than it was last year, more along the lines of 2023 and 2018.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    My guts says you are right, but it will still be pretty destructive....I think there will be some heavy hitting home brews.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, I mentioned that in my update last weekend.
