Let me break it down for the layman(you?) .. MJO and Indian Ocean in warm flux.. warm Europe equates to warm E NA, troughing from Hawaii into West coast digging for gold into Mexico, no blocking .. and a very strong SE Ridge over the western Atlantic..
What about any of that makes you think snow and cold in the east?
I will give you Canada is cold . So there is that.. but how do we tap into it for lots of snow and cold ?
