    Yea, a bit of irony...I get it. I don't lose sleep over it....if I'm being honest, I can see the issue with celebrating Colombus given the history there, even Redskins given the racial connotation, but I have no idea what was wrong with the "Indians".....I'm Irish, and couldn't give a rat's a$$ about the "Fighting Irish" having a bit of a drunken, pugilist connotation there. I appreciate the humor.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    Very true...I usually don't do that, so my bad there.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    I'm not sure I'd call that a melt...is that how you perceive dissenting viewpoints?
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Should be the least shot at 80 of the season...not counting Xmas Eve, when Tip's Hadley Cell ventures down the chimney to devour all of the childrens' toys.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    I love the Cleveland Indians and Washington Red Skins.....Chief Wahoo FTW.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, missed that one.

    1963 and 1968 (both -PDO) are the only El Nino events of appreciable intensity....1958, 1976 and 1977, like 2004, were weak.

  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, I have always been with you on that. Interesting you note the weak signal nationally because some of the seasonal guidance has been hinting that December maybe colder than January and February in the NE.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Good question...I guess the year in the aggregate?
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    I know that.....I mean the entire list of cold arctic years.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    I would not expect that this year....1997 was low, ascending solar with a strong easterly QBO...very odd timing for a super-El Nino. This year fits the bill with W QBO and descending solar. Good luck with early blocking. 1997 is a very poor polar analog...our chances will come later this year.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    2004 was a weak El Nino...any other warm ENSO years on that list?

    I'd just assume worm-hole to Columbus Day weekend...or indigenous ass-parade, or whatever in the hell the libs call it these days. PS: It's Columbus Day.....he sailed the ocean blue-deal with it.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Short-lived.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree....they way I interpret that is some second half volatility. I don't see the season averaging -NAO. I think wave reflection is the path this year....like 1983. I don't think a reversal is in the cards. Guidance may try to flag one, and then back off.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    Both are elite polar analogs.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I was just thinking that this is likely our way out of the 2023-redux hell.....the EPO and WPO were both dreadful, and we seem to have seen a bit of a decadal shift in that respect after a several year stretch that was pretty bad. Your NAO period is about done....must have largely neutralized...
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yep....no doubt. I don't dispute any of that...the neutralization of the PDO is a guess on my part.

    Sneak Preview of the new EURO seasonal: 2023-2024
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    @Stormchaserchuck1What are your thoughts on this with respect to the potential influence of the lower PDO and record warm eastern flank of ENSO? residual cool ENSO influence in combination with the record OHC over the eastern half of the ENSO region is one key factor that may be cause for some deviation from that season with respect to both the predominate storm track, as well as the temperature pattern over the southern and eastern US.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    I still think it will eventually spike to near neutral.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    I've seen him....but sorry, that makes absolutely no sense to me. All that will do in an El Nino is act to raise se heights, which makes it warmer and adds an element of destructive interference to opportunities for east coast cyclogenesis.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    This is the trap that I fell into going into the 2023-2024 season....all it means is competing forces, but there are no guarantees that the "forces" are good. I bombed that season, but haven't had a bad one since....learned a ton.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Funny you mention that because this is my early-front runner-plot for December: Note the location of the ridge relative to the position on the EURO seasonal:
