Don't you know they control the models to periodically show false positive outputs? The positive vibes are just the weather-industrial complex stringing us along only to better crush our hopes and enjoy the sweet taste of weenie tears.
They can go either way...there is no rule. If dec and Jan were always cold...we would be cheering for a Nina every year
Well even when cold the tendency for a trough west/ridge east makes Ninas especially prone to cold dry/warm wet syndrome.
Is it normal to have that much variability at 384? That's like a random number generator; every possible permutation of temperature anomaly.
We all know p28 will verify
That was a overatted weak nino right?
Well, we all had high hopes, so I guess in that sense it was over-rated. That was the year I learned to hate the MJO.
Was curious about how the PDO might interact with the AMO, so reading about the AMO on Wikipedia yesterday. Apparently there is no consensus that it even exists. Some think it's just noise.
Northeast snow weenies were wish-casting and apparently got angry when he called them on it. But since then he has been going out of his way to revel in their misery. not a classy move in my opinion.
That was probably the same January 2-3 even I mentioned that did well at RDU. I had almost completely forgotten about that storm and my memories of 2001 -2002 were negative based on the overall warmth.
