  1. Yup....do we kick the can with respect to the MJO signal in December, like last year, or does it come to fruition... Def. interested in hearing your thoughts on my outlook this year, whenever you get aorund to it.
  2. I am more on the -WPO train, but if we get both...yea, that is the upside. I went +EPO..... Both is 2013-2014.
  3. I won't be suprised if the region is above normal in snowfall....but I need to be conservative after the past couple of busts.
  4. Yea, I have gotten myself into trouble forecasting upside chases too much lately, so I couldn't do it again....but I see a path.
  5. There are def. signs of a better north Pacific...I would bet my life that is what is driving some of these doomsday deviations.
  6. Starting to see some subtle signs of a potential light at the end of this proverbial Pacific-carnage tunnel, too.
  7. I really don't think this winter is going to be a complete no-show again. Pretty confident in modestly better Pacific relative to last year providing some decent chances.
  8. What are your thoughts...similar, warmer, better?
  9. I ended up going +3 to +5 in Dec for the mid Atl and NE...hopefully I don't end up too cool....the potential translation of the MJO into phase 6 beyond mid month and towards the holiday is what kept me from really going bonkers.
  10. I think around 12/16 could begin a window, but just leery of can-kicking.
  11. Regardless of what La Niña does, I agree on that this year.
  12. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2024/11/using-past-forecasting-difficulty-to.html
  13. No, its very precarious...I agree. Toughest ENSO call in the 11 years I have been at this.
  14. The issue I see is the trades are west, while the subsurface is east.....gonna need them to overlap a bit on the western periphery of 3.4.
  15. Subsurface is neutral over the western half, which means it won't go Modoki....-1 to -2C over the eastern half.
  16. Careful with the PDO....it's as much of a reflection of the past regime as it is a predictor of the future....ie the momentum is just as important. If begins climbing rather abruptly....
  17. Eh...I wouldn't say that yet. 2008 is a great ENSO analog and it racked up ONI by hanging out near peak for a relatively long duration, rather than reaching a low weekly. It was -0.1 at this point on the weekly and peaked at 0.8 ONI.
  18. It could be an overlap...I know we like to distinguish using human constructs of arbitraty 30 days periods, but every now and then mother nature likes to moon us for doing so.
