  1. 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....
  2. Factors like the sun matter more in weak and basin wide events.
  3. The vp works out just fine in my experience and when it doesn't, there are reasons why. Nothing operates in a vacuum.
  4. 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.
  5. Why wouldn't you weight tropical forcing in a strong el Nino? Keep in mind forcing is less important in weaker events.
  6. I think PV disruption is closer to mid month into the holidays.
  7. I don't just mean the numeric value of the index...the pattern itself was very anomalous and augmented by the fact that even the +PNA interval in January was biased so far west that it acted as an extreme RNA. I'm not arguing the point that seasonals have Gross limitations....just that last season was an anomaly that wasn't really predictable on a seasonal level.
  8. Not sure last season is a great example given the magnitude of the PDO....that will never be forecasted on a seasonal level.
  9. He obviously has an agenda that biases his contemporary work, but the guy had already established himself on the Mount Rushmore of meteorology.
  10. My LICSW mind sniffs out some jealousy of the career he has built and insecurity about this own professional standing...people act overtly aggressive like that when they feel threatened and inadequate.
  11. Guy is an ass and he knows he is full of hot air....only type of people that do that. Anyone confident in their abilities doesn't feel the need to constantly try to prop themselves up on the shoulders of others.
  12. I don't see anything wrong with it....Dec looks rather uneventful, though not a torch...and January is fine. That is a split flow.....there is enough cold there IMO.
  13. Makes more sense to me. Glad to see that. All three months look good, though.
  14. Looks like Old Man Winter's Bday it is- Someone bring a cake haha
  15. I am actually not frustrated with @snowman19....he has grown on me TBH....good guy with a lot of great insight, even if a healthy dose of it is recycled from Mr. Roundy's keyboard. lol We disagree and I accept that.
  16. TBH, I don't even mind the W PAC cooling some....all set with a great deal of phase 6 this winter....I am not concerned about canonical forcing setting up in the seasonal mean, though I am sure there will be some thawing periods that do feature that.
  17. Dude, region 4 is near record levels....what are you looking for, Jesus to piss near the dateline? Its basinwide.
  18. You guys are clutch with the incessant graphics feed into an ongoing outlook effort lol
