It does make me nervous because he is a very good seasonal forecaster, but I can tell you right now this isn't going to end up as east based as 1972 was....and like last season, we also had some tough breaks that year. It wasn't event that warm. At the end of the day, we all bring something to the table and I have learned a lot from raindance. Incorporating precip and temp matches like he does to complement the ENSO work that I do has really helped. But I feel like the devil was in the details last winter....at the end of the day, paltry snowfall was the way to go for the east coast, but most seasonal forecasters that went in that direction also had very little blocking, which wasn't accurate.
