Anyway, Paul, you have known me long enough to understand I'm just teasing. I do appreciate your enthusiasm for weather...savor that because you will probably never witness me admit it again.
Obviously its ridiculously early, but there is some major work to do for us to see anything other than an east-based cool ENSO event take shape (assuming it is cool ENSO) given the evolution of the subsurface this spring.
-EPO is my early hedge for next winter, as well...I was just telling a forecaster on FB that I associate with that I feel good about ridging INVO AK next season.
For a second I thought you were leading into optimism about next winter...then realized you were just trying to make a buck Back to the regularly scheduled warm pool lectures from Bluewave....
