40/70 Benchmark

I think it's @BlizzardWxthat has that site....should find out shortly.

I think this was you?? Have the link?

Who was it in here that developed the site that computes daily index values? I forgot to bookmark that...

It's so time consuming...which prohibitive for someone like me who spends an inordinately excessive amount of time on it as is. There is someone in the ENSO thread who has a site that computes daily values...forget who...

I think @bluewavedoes that. I usually do that more in the narrative explanation, but I did add some graphics for January to break down the mid month pattern evolution...ie PT regime to +TNH transition.

Likely LBSW

To your point, one really needs to play out the evolution in shortened intervals to see some of these idiosyncrasies of the period in question because it gets smoothed out in the mean. This is probably why it was biased more east during some of these oscillations.

Yea, not sure how you did in those particular months of February...2001 was also decent, but I know that sucked for you guys. C and W NE cleaned up that year.

It is probably displaced a bit east...I see that.

2021 was pretty good for my area....1956, 1972...

IDK...looks textbook -WPO to me.... not saying you're wrong, but may just be lost on me.

Well, a worthwhile event is different...sign me up...we wouldn't go anywhere. But it's these nuisance-level inconveniences that have consistently plagued day-to-day life this season that I'd prefer to avoid, unless they were occurring over top of some exotically deep pack, which clearly doesn't exist.

I was honestly hoping for all rain...needing to commute over an hour to work, and the wife needing to get the 4 little ones to school/day care will do that.

So you are arguing that it was a hybrid response to ridging equally dispersed between the WPO and EPO domains? Is it a coincidence that that WPO registered so deeply negative? Honest question, not meant to be snarky... I think the PV being pinned to our side of the hemisphere also helped...we don't get that consistent magnitude of cold otherwise, regardless of the nuances of the north Pacific.

Yea, the pattern hardly ever fits 100% neatly into these little boxes that we construct to quantify the atmosphere, but it helps.
