  1. The point isn't that I expect to to be lethally accurate, but that all of the global guidance is consistently signaling that this isn't going to be a typical blow-torch stronger el Nino. About as much as you can ask for...could they all fail miserably, sure, but would we feel better if they all photocopied 1997-1998?
  2. My guess is that the EURO was led astray by the same issue that killed my forecast....a fraudulent warm ENSO regime. I feel like we are adjusting to that better and this event is appreciably stronger, as you have mentioned. Are the coldest models too cold? Probably, but I just want snow...I don't need Boston Harbor to freeze over.
  3. What I like is that the fact that they signal cold bodes very well for avoiding a non-starter type of winter....odds are, we can't overcome a warm start and average +temps and NAO for DM in the aggregate, but will anyone care if we accumulate heavy seasonal totals?
  4. I have said all along those December strat shenanigans aren't going to pay immediate dividends and likely get pushed back.
  5. Makes sense considering how I expect December to unfold....look at the EURO .....+NAO. Cohen is just having an impulsive outburst, which people are prone to do on social media.
  6. Someone run a composite of 1966, 1969, 1987 and 2003...it probably looks like the Euro.
  7. Agree with this...good post. This, like the PDO analogs, is confirmation that this winter will be decided within the polar domain.
  8. Not really....98-99 was awful, 2016-2017 and 83-84 were meh.
  9. This is what I point out in his Twitter thread and he never addressed it.
  10. Agree. This is why I feel like we will also have an active N stream this winter.
  11. Yea, no one is going super-cold. That said, sign me up for 1965, 1968 and 2004 from that composite.
  12. Yea, that is consistent with my findings...not sure where he is coming from with this.
  13. That has to be the dumbest comment I have ever heard from a pro met. The irony of him ranting about JB having an agenda....
  14. Factors like the sun matter more in weak and basin wide events.
  15. The vp works out just fine in my experience and when it doesn't, there are reasons why. Nothing operates in a vacuum.
  16. I don't agree with you that the forcing doesn't matter....at least in stronger events. But obviously +PNA seasons are more difficult to come by in the heart of a multi decadal cold phase.
