Don't get ahead of yourself......the tropical season looks like it may be off of the charts and la Nina winters following high ACE seasons have been pretty kind to the east...even raindance will tell you that. A lot will depend on how quickly the solar wind picks up and distributes the geomagnetic energy following solar max...if that can hold off for one more year, we may be able to sneak it in before the run of +AO/NAO winters that comes with descending solar.
