MEI Analogs


SACRUS

Recommended Posts

I guess this means that there could finally be ONE solid KU event.

 

BTW, there was 11.6" of snow for February 1995 at Central Park.

 

That one KU event that brought 6-24" of snow from Western NC to Maine at February 3rd-4th, 1995.

wow pretty close lol 11.4 this time. Although this storm wasn't as wide ranging (ie NC to Maine) it was much more intense.

SACRUS: Could you explain in short what the MEI measurements mean? I think i can deduce from your comparisons trends towards analogous years, but I'd like to know what it measures. Thanks.

BK its an index that measures several ENSO values. Best explained http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/enso/mei/

Thank you. I know you have posted this index going back years now and inferred it was analog based, but never knew based upon what. Don't notice memorable winters in those trends, but 3 NE tropical cyclone hits I believe are in there (60, 85, and 96). But I presume ENSO trends are far more correlative to winter outcomes on weather than tropical ones. I suspect Uncle has already worked out at some time ENSO matchups with tri-state tropical impacts.
