I always think of it based on the shape of the East Coast and Atlantic Ocean... if you smooth out the east coast you can easily see the anomaly that sticks out into the Atlantic. Obviously the coastal plain extends north and south of that line but, that's the larger scale coastline, IMO. Expand Place a black hole at the end of that line around LI and everyone can follow it to its never ending bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 I know given the antecedent frustration, there are many who will be disenfranchised that we may not see an ideal pattern, but I can tell you that I will gladly trade the PNA for a negative EPO. IMHO, it is the PAC jet that has plagued this season. We are going to have cold around moving forward, and the storm track will not be suppressed. This is actually the pattern that I expected for the first half, but it took the Pacific awhile to cooperate and arrange accordingly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
