Ian Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 93-94? down to random guessing based on winter temps for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 93-94? down to random guessing based on winter temps for this one. no..93-94 was like last year...very little blocking and a huge PV...there are some clues here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 62-63? Good guess, but that had a much more robust cold look...I have to run, But I think the hint is in the hybrid nature of the pattern (and no I don't mean 89-90, but rather in the storm pattern).

Bodhi Cove Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have no business playing this game, so I'll only make one wag. 1966-67? BTW, great idea Matt. Quite educational! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 nah...that had a big mean block Yeah after I said it, I knew the NAO wasn't west-based enough on that map This is a hard one. It looked to me intially like a -PDO El Nino...but it could be a weak Nina too with some NAO blocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hint, cold delivery system, but nothing hugely anomalous, northern stream, but hints of southern stream, east based blocking, but clear we had some..weak mean western ridging....The pattern had a tendency, but it was still a bit more volatile than many winters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deck Pic Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 '95-'96? Correct! you can almost suss out the blizzard and the Feb southern stream, and the volatility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Correct! you can almost suss out the blizzard and the Feb southern stream, and the volatility ahh, i disregarded good winters when you said it was medium-hard... you helped your cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Correct! you can almost suss out the blizzard and the Feb southern stream, and the volatility When you typed 'hybrid' storm pattern, I thought you were maybe winking at 95/96.... I think lots of people would have assumed 95/96 was near ideal in blocking, but you're right-- it was very volatile throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
