It sunk in last summer, since I have expected the first half of winter to suck since then. How is it odd for the first half of winter to suck in an el Nino?
Anyway, snowing nicely here just north of Boston.
I really do not see an absence of east coast storm tracks. I'm not sure what Raindance is talking about there. While there have been inside runners, here have also been coastal storms, but that just hasn't been cold air.
I see what you said. Its a deflection away from acknowledgment of the fact that the 2.0+ ONI crowd may be correct. Pointing out that there is not a "super" category is a strawman contention...its irrelevant.
If the ONI peaks at 2.0, then the guys calling for a super peak were correct.
Period.
Does it mean another shit winter? No, especially not with abundant blocking.
