I suspect that we’re in the bubble phase of the AI hype though. Two years from now, all that froth will dissipate and the so and so things we’d never heard of will fall away back into obscurity while we return to the big boys like Microsoft, Apache, etc. 

Legitimately there is an entire cycle that actually follows that from Gartner. We are definitely in the hype cycle where everyone pegs it as the solution in about 18-24 months is where we actually start to see the legitimate use cases pop up. Same thing happen with crypto/block chain.

meh, that AK trough is from a strong -WPO. it's just modified Arctic air, not nearly the same as a Pacific blowtorch. the pattern moderates but it never really gets all that warm. weird looking, though

The “warm up” this weekend is reaching temps 2-3 degrees below average instead of 20 degrees below average.

EPO looks to tank a bit around the 25th/26th. That appears to set up another major Arctic shot around day 11. If we're lucky, and of course I emphasize if, we could get a light/moderate event around day 8/9 followed by Arctic cold front and then a system attacks the retreating cold. After that it appears we do relax but that's getting pretty far out.

Yep. Still active STJ as well. Where's that Nina augmented Central Pac Ridge and non existent STJ the warmanistas continue harping on.. 

I’ve seen comments were in a Nina base state but I don’t see it. It looks more hybrid which you could argue is an enso neitral look. The look in the North Pacific is Nina ish but the look in the west central pacific is most definitely not. And frankly that’s more important imo. A wpo ridge that’s not connected to the tropics is not nearly as damaging to the downstream pattern as a full latitude central pac ridge.  
 

The STJ is kinda in between too. More active than a true Nina but definitely not to Nino territory.

Adding to my above thoughts, we had general god awful enso neutral winters during the recent hostile PDO regime. If this is an indication of what a enso neutral winter will be like in a more friendly PDO regime that’s very good news. One of our biggest causes for the decrease in our snowfall has been that enso neutral winters went from being pretty decent to good often to being mostly god awful recently.  Nina’s are pretty bad. And we know east based super ninos aren’t good. And weak ninos are a crap shoot. So it’s tough sledding if we can only score in a very specific rare type of one enso state (moderate to low end strong modoki Nino). If we get neutral winters back as a viable “real winter” it improves our climo a lot.

I consider this an enso neitral winter. I know it’s officially a really weak Nina. But the atmosphere never coupled and it’s behaving like a neitral. 

Agreed. Its a mishmash of competing influences that makes it essentially an enso neutral winter in the mid latitudes. 

And I’ll say we had a productive January with the number of trackable events, prevailing cold air, and the number of days with snowcover. Mby 11”+ on the month where 7-8” is climo.

If we stay cold for even half of Feb, we may reach climo or close to it.
