No reason to not go record warm every month, we have been locked in for the past 5 winters and the maritime heat wave due to CC has fundamentally changed our winters.
The maritime heatwaves have overwhelmed the winter patterns. You need record levels of countering indices to try and get a favorable window for winter weather in the East
I called MJO 4 to 6 all winter a few months ago due to the forever maritime heatwave. Nothing else really matters. NYC 4 to 6 above b DJF average. Snow I like 12 on the season.
