  1. I doubt it will be very prevalent with the el nino of appreciable intensity...but it will probably be responsible for the thawing periods.
  2. +PNA can also really mimic an RNA if it is west biased, as was the case last January...devil is in the details.
  3. 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.
  4. Yea, that makes sense. The season will probably finish above average, but could still be snowy stretches.
  5. Yea, I don't think anyone is thinking cold December in the east.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Yea, this is what my research bared out...even with a -PDO.
  12. The focus will probably by NYS and NE in December, then the focus will shift southward later in January and into February.
  13. I think its like most other tools...there is some utility, but its not the silver bullet of seasonal forecasting that it was originally made out to be.
  14. I think December will suck for you guys, but it won't matter given the pattern that should evolve later.
  15. Well, I probably would too if I lived down there....even up here its getting tougher to remain objective....last good season for me was 2017-2018.
  16. +3SD anomaly on the self-induced ice cream headache index.
  17. I don't get that impression at all....I mean, its not frigid and there are times when the cold will dump west early on, but looks like plenty of ridging over the eastern Pac and AK.
  18. I have a sneaking suspicion that no one is changing their mind about anything.
