These are strong colors for a 360hr ensemble mean. Those are -20F anomalies in Canada

Sometimes the OP will be the first to show an extreme/new solution, and a few days later the ensembles will trend toward it. We really need that -EPO ridge to hold strong and not start to phase out/weaken as we get closer.

Long range is so warm on the GFS because of +NAO Just when we change the Pacific.. we've had, Sept-Dec, 4 straight months of <-0.65 monthly NAO so let's see if it does phase shift.

That's probably rain for I-95. NW of I-95 it might be snow.

1st Jan storm last year that gave DC like 7" had a 50/50 low

But 15 seconds left with a timeout to spare.. the offense is moving the ball so well... you really are going to make a rookie kicker, who's longest FG all year is 52yds, on the road in Pittsburgh, so loud, kick a 40+ yd FG when he leads the league in erratic kickoffs, going out of bounds? You shouldn't say put it all on one play, but that call definitely costed Harbaugh his job.

The stats say go for it though, and that 99.9% of NFL coaches are too conservative in that regard. It's just frustrating when I see the numbers so clear, to have these big guys with tens of millions watching make the wrong call over and over. The one variable where coaches are too aggressive on is the 2-point attempt. It only works 31% of the time. So anything less than 50% is no unless it's a really special circumstance.

Yeah, that's probably more important. The SOI was positive 17 months in a row until Dec 2025 ended that streak, but for the first 15 months it was weak.. 0 to +10.. then we had 2 >+10 at the end, then it petered out. My ENSO subsurface monthly index is going to come in positive for Jan though.. not many Nina's that had warm subsurface in January. I'll have to see which ones had that. I know that testing all years gives more of a +PNA signal when the central-ENSO subsurface is warm.

We're not going to hit La Nina on the ONI. It's going to officially be "ENSO Neutral" for the 2nd straight year.

I'd put higher probability on it. Or the time afterward, Jan 20-30 period. It's not much of a risk that the N. Pacific ridge currently extending into Alaska and the Arctic circle on models will trend into -PNA, donsoutherland has done research that 45-day -PNA periods in the winter, like the one we just had flip to +PNA 80% of the time afterwards. Also, there is a kelvin wave starting to move warm water across the ENSO-subsurface, and I have found that correlates to more +pna conditions as it happens. Greater probability is that the N. pacific ridge ends up north with a low even undercutting it, vs the opposite, imo.

Please don't hire someone who doesn't go for it on 4th and 1

0z GFS ensembles starting getting cold around Jan 18th. Anything before that probably isn't going to do it.

Not really a torch in the mean 2 months after a -NAO December weights it a little cooler NAO has been -0.65 or lower 4 straight months

They need to extend Lamar and Zay Flowers in the offseason. I don't know how much cap room they have. Flowers his rookie year signed a contract for 4 years worth $14 million, which next season will be his last year on. And he's made the pro bowl twice. Nice draft pick!

I don't know, this looks kind of ugly to me in the mean. I think the only way those surface temps will verify is if we are right after a cold front, unless a few individual members are weighting the mean. Maybe those few outlier members will win and the Pacific ridge will trend more Polar? GEFS has more -WPO at 384hr so that's a little better. The ENSO subsurface is starting to warm with a kelvin wave, and I did research showing that, that actually correlates to more +PNA when the subsurface at -200m hits 180W. That should happen in the next few weeks.. Just using that favors less -pna and more +pna going into the extended, but that's just one method.
