  1. I've had it 6 years running...I'll lose it if it goes 7.
  2. Not crazy about the trend of these systems to slide south...been an issue in -PDO el nino seasons.
  3. Look forward to delving into it sometime soon. Always appreciate your work.
  4. I think I remember @raindancewxsaying that a lot of the warmer eastern el nino analogs had warmer months October....so even though I know it isn't correlated to winter per se, it may be more important this year.
  5. I walked that statement back....not well thought out response on my part. Its actually one of my analogs. I expect the polar domain to be different than 1972, but point taken.
  6. I have never been on board for a 2.0+ peak ONI and at this point I would be shocked were that to materialize.
  7. I shouldn't say 2018-2019 is irrelevant...we are still in the cold phase of the Pacific and its actually a decent analog, but I expect some more traditional el nino interludes this year is all I meant.
  8. Because that event never coupled itself....really not relevent.
  9. PDO isn't going to remain extremely negative through winter....
  10. I doubt it will be very prevalent with the el nino of appreciable intensity...but it will probably be responsible for the thawing periods.
  11. +PNA can also really mimic an RNA if it is west biased, as was the case last January...devil is in the details.
  12. No I don't. I do one in October and that's it. Its hardly growing at this point do to how low solar irradiance is.
  13. Yea, that makes sense. The season will probably finish above average, but could still be snowy stretches.
  14. Yea, I don't think anyone is thinking cold December in the east.
  15. Right....closer to neutral or slightly positive...which is what I implied. What is being referenced by snowman19, etc is a power house seasonal PV.
  16. I can totally a buy a strong PV early on that biases the season in the aggregate, but I seriously doubt a Pinatubo style impact. I'm relatively confident that we will see a period(s) of major blocking, as was the case last season.
  17. We just had @griteaterposting a site claiming that it was fully ingested by the polar strat by last January. I agree that its worthy of consideration, but I think its very dubious that we see a wall-to-wall juggernaut PV.
  18. You can find a study to support whatever timeframe you would like...pick your study. What we do know is that following Pinatubo, we had a severely +AO winter beginning immediately the next season and lasting several years...what we have now are some people continuing to move the goal posts to imply it takes 2 years to have an impact this case. Sorry, but I call BS.
  19. Why didn't it have that impact last winter? Maybe I'm wrong, but from what I have read and observed, I really don't think it will have much of an impact.
