  1. A scantily clothed scooter hunched over on a sidewalk in a remote village, rocking back and forth feeding the monkies while murmuring to himself....."they stole my circle jerk"..."they stole my circle jerk". Concerned natives continue to gather around conversing amongst themselves in native tongue...
  2. Yes, absolutely. Any ENSO state, including neutral, can "trainwreck" a winter...however, super el nino is far more likely than any other to do so. Furthermore, the ceiling for a winter is much higher for a strong vs "super" el nino.
  3. I was only in the low 50s last night...must have been the cloud cover down here.
  4. I hardly had any rain from Ophelia...like .20" from Saturday through Monday....missed out for once.
  5. Yea, same....I hadn't researched it until he mentioned it. Like I said, he does like to push buttons, but I wouldn't call him a troll bc he also brings something to the table.
  6. I was about to say, I think some positive anomalies will extend into SNE.
  7. Not sure I buy his dismissal of vp due to pre Sat era and inadequate sample size of east based events...it stands to reason why the vp pattern differs from other east based events due to the west PAC warmth.
  8. That is what I meant, yea....either, or. Ironically it could work to our advantage for once. It acted to nullify modest attempts at ENSO in '18 and '19 and may be acting to modify an attempt at an intense event here.
  9. It seems as though new regimes, including ENSO and the IOD, are encountering a great deal of resistance since the residual forcing from that previous 12 year cool ENSO was so prominent.
  10. Yea, same thing....canonical super el nino pattern is synonymous with +AO/NAO, as is modoki the opposite.
  11. Take a wild, crazy, off of the wall guess considering the barer of the news....lol Indian Ocean climate influences (bom.gov.au) Theoretically speaking, it upwells cooler water west of the dateline, thus it would serve to reinforce that cool west/warm east Pacific couplet that is a staple of high-end el nino events and has been lacking thus far.
  12. Yea, I think they configure it that way so that the article shows up in all of the most highly searched "buzz" words. I see what you mean. Its a shame they have to disguise a worthwhile piece as an AMWX post from @MJO812in order to attract readers....speaks volumes about our society. lol
  13. I don't see anything wrong with the title, either...it says "starting to trend colder"...not "cold".
