Just curious, but is there any correlation from winter to winter regarding the nao? Specifically, does a negative nao this winter diminish our chances of one next year? If the Pacific had been in a better state this year, we probably would have done better, especially earlier in the winter, right?
What I’m getting at in a roundabout way is that I think the Pacific will look better next year. What are our chances of a -nao to go with it?
