  1. Funny how we almost need to hope La Nina goes nuts this fall to have a "lull" period in the hostile forcing during the winter....almost akin to timing the intensity cycles in the tropics in the hope that RI can lead to an ERC pre landfall.
  2. @ineedsnowgives me the "huh" emoji for posting "zzzzzzzz" then likes a post opining that the only threat currently on the map won't develop. Gotcha-
  3. 2017-2018 was a weak La Nina...close to moderate, but defintely not strong. Not debating the point RE the MJO...
  4. I think we would need the ONI on the positive side of neutral given the base state of the extra tropical Pacific....either way, I agree it doesn't look great for NE winter. "Best case" in terms of ENSO maybe a cold-neutral ONI....
  5. Well, with the RONI it would still be weak Nina even if ONI remained neutral, which I doubt.
  6. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  7. Its like saying we're due for some MC continent forcing.
  8. How do you figure? The vast majority of DM seasons have been averaging positive, including last season...unless you mean exceedingly positive...
  9. That guy is an enormous toolbag and is the embodiment of what social media has done to online meteorologists. The desire to increase traffic has corrupted the very products that they attempt draw in folks to view....everything is dramatic hype. Same thing that JB fell prey to.
  10. Below is the reason why. The reason I whiffed last season is because I misinterpreted the impications of el nino being partially negated by the west PAC....I concepotualized it as simply a weaker El Nino, which is more favorable for winter....but what actually was taking place was the West Pacific competing and largely overpowering the El Nino.
  11. It doesn't matter if the ONI remains weak, the La Nina Walker cell will still be at least moderately intense for the same reason that we saw the continuation of the cool ENSO regime during an onstensibly powerful el Nino last year....the west Pacific warmth.
  12. What a weenie orgie this thread is Sickos...
  13. I agree...two completely different hemispheric landscapes.
  14. The only aspect of 1995 that has value is using it as an ONI analog, but that doesn't mean very much in the grad scheme of things.
  15. I don't see that happening...very lucrative and powerful industry. Rates would hike even more, sure.
  16. I can't for the life of me figure out why snowman is still 5 PPD....and I honestly mean that. Sure, he has somewhat of a bias, but I think most of us with a pulse do. He brings alot to the table....well, as much as the 5PPD limitation permits, anyway.
  17. I could see a toned down version of that winter, but as Brooklyn just pointed out, the extra tropical Pacific should be more hostile this go around.
