Yea, it has been like pulling teeth to get any -NAO winter seasons for a couple of decades now....while I do agree with Larry that the solar cycle is a factor (min favored for -NAO), I also think CC maybe affecting the Atlantic pressure pattern.
Jesus, I think that piece of guidance is out of its tits, but I do like the cold trend..not thinking 28 IMBY midday tomorrow, though. I think the 00z INEEDSNOW maybe in error there.
I was speculating online with someone the other day that the front would probably end up closer to I 84 rather than the pike...always take the under when the ocean temp is 42F.
