  1. I'm largely ignoring AI guidance this season...they are in AAA in my view. Maybe ready for the big leagues next season...maybe consider as an ensemble at times.
  2. Yea, this is probable a "one and done" forecast, like the last one.
  3. I have to look at this over the weekend....I just briefly paid it homage on a wider, synoptic scale on Tuesday, but haven't yet done a deep dive.
  4. It's probably right because it always is when it sucks....but of course fell flat on it's face 12/2.
  5. This time of year, 40 hardly dents it...March and even latter February is a different story.
  6. I'm sure everyone remembers how brutally awful I handled the El Nino a couple of years ago....was completely undressed by @bluewaveon how it would interact with the west Pacific. It was the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of my ability to forecast on a seasonal level
  7. Ha...I remember that. Wow, that is weak.....lost some respect. Acknowledgement of errors is the primary catalyst for growth.
  8. I think January 2022 is a decent analog, but the cold will likely be delayed a bit relative to that month.
  9. ...or when they have 4 little kids and are desperately trying to complete a 36 page winter outlook
  10. Actually a very apt disclaimer for these past several years.
  11. Certainly one of the more innocuous ones I have observed on this forum...
  12. Hopefully it doesn't blow the soap and shampoo away
  13. Now it's also pouring, which isn't as inspiring from a wind standpoint...
  14. First of all, I think some of the guidance exaggerated the blocking...especially a couple of days ago. Secondly, -NAO doesn't matter if your arctic flow is cut-off, which it will be with the lower heights building over AK to counter the Bering ridge. Finally, and this goes along with #1....I think guidance not only exaggerated the amplitude of the blocking, but the extent to which it will retrograde into a favorable position, and east-based "thumb-ridges" are far less impactful for the east.
  15. I trust Will and Scott over any OCM now that Harv is gone.
  16. March 2001 is another great analog.....maybe March 2023 with a less hostile Pacific.
  17. I do have some glimmer of hope that selling the Pens will afford them a bit more investment in the Sox, but they will probably just pocket it and buy giant golden dildos for their wives-
