  1. What a weenie orgie this thread is Sickos...
  2. I agree...two completely different hemispheric landscapes.
  3. 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.
  4. I don't see that happening...very lucrative and powerful industry. Rates would hike even more, sure.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. If we get DM -WPO/-EPO and modestly to moderately DM +NAO and -PNA with volatility, I bet many would be content.
  8. I could totally see us salvaging winter due to the EPO/WPO....and considering the NAO + will average, that would probably entail some decent PNA flexes per your work. And I don't mean 2014 or 1995 when I say "salvage".... I think from about my area near the NH border and up could do well in that scenario, but points south would probably be limited by the EPO...maybe a 2007-2008 like gradient? Qualitative comp, not quanitative.....I don't expect 140" in Concord, NH.
  9. Yes. He hasn't predicted a -WPO winter....just implied that its very possible.
  10. And I hope no one interprets this as me questioning CC because I'm not....just referring to the larger scale shift that has porked the east relative to the western CONUS that some are attributing to CC. We could also see a bit of a drop off from the uber heat due to natural cycles/variation and still be realizing CC.
  11. This makes sense to me because while I do not feel that the NAO will be wall-to-wall positive, I think that it will be the Pacific side that is the primary driver if this coming winter is to be saved in the aggregate. I know raindance has been harping on a -WPO, which would also align with this...especially if we crank that ACE.
  12. This all goes hand-in-hand with my theory of how if we are still going scorched earth and pointing fingers at whomever may have stolen our snow by 2030, then its time to seriously consider that a larger percentage of this is indeed permanent and not cyclical in nature. AMO flip, PDO flip, solar min, wake of strong multiyear Nina and strong La Nina.....lots of reasons for change between now and the end of the decade.
  13. That is nuts....I am at like 20 this summer, with nearly 10 89's....
  14. Yea, I figured...just clarifying so no one thinks I am trying to steal their climate change.
  15. I agree. The initial comment was in response to one regarding yesterday.
  16. Total agreement and said the same thing in my blog post yesterday. However, I believe the true intensity of this particular La Nina event will be a healthy moderate and perhaps even nearing strong. The inverse of last year's El Nino.
  17. Not claiming anyone did...I just refer to fraud-torches as those in which the vast majority of the + anomaly is in the day time min.
  18. I was only speaking to yesterday. This summer has seemed hot to me.
  19. Historically speaking, weak El Nino has been the wheelhouse for SNE and moderate for the mid atlantic because they require more of a STJ influence.
  20. Something has to work out sooner rather than later for the NE.
  21. Nothing is a silver bullet, but the RONI is another tool that has some utility when used in the proper context.
