    Yea, normally September is so exciting....
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    6.32" JJA total here.

    I agree for the most part, but I still think we could pull off a sub 1981-2010 climo. I think it would be a low return type of anomaly, but I don't think that ship has sailed quite yet. I may be wrong-

    I don't think you are going to get pushback from anyone about how exceedingly difficult it is to get any season to finish below the longer term 1895-2000 climo...this is why I never use that climo base. It's not because I'm in denial about anything or trying to dissociate, but it's for the same reason that I don't begin every outlook by rehashing that the sky is blue.

    Not too worried about that. Largest bias of climate models is to over-bake ENSO into the forecast, which should be weak. While I expect a +NAO, it's not going to be wall-to-wall IMO.

    How were you relative to normal snowfall last year?
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    In a perfect world, yes, but the PDO is more of a longer term oscillation that doesn't always correlate to our sensible weather.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    May be tied to your October MJO rule...or a coincidence.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, when you average 20", scoring 12" the first month kind of seals the deal.

    It may just be an issue for more research needing to be done on the topic...it's bad enough that ur sample size is so low, but I feel like having only one piece of research on top exacerbates that issue.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    100% agree here...been my stance all along.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, I never doubt any of your research......just saying, not what I would have guessed.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    2014-2015 was even more anomalous in that respect.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Far too reductive of an analysis.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    That is counterintuitive AFAIC.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    Even if we did, I'll take my chances on more snowfall than last year.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think there is some value in honing in on how much temperature maxes have warmed, since I don't think the warmer mins are as detrimental to snowfall.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    He also pointed out that the calculation that incorporates said cold pool is only modestly positive.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    It began in 2015-2016 with the super El Niño....mid Atlantic just lucked out with the KU, NE did not.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Little warmer and more snowy..at least for most of SNE.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    I would prefer to run it back with a more neutral WPO.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Last year is not a perfect analog, but it is variable IMO...it's one of my primary analogs.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    QBO is not unfavorable this year and La Niña is still going to be weak. This seems like splitting hairs to me...and believe me, I want a repeat of last winter like a hole in the head.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    I don't think it will be a ratter, but there are some limitations.
