I have been saying this all fall....two things are vastly overstated with respect to the ensuing cold season:
1: La nina
2: -PNA
Ben Knol had another Tweet with that dumb weight lifting emoji talking about how strong la nina is getting....I pointed out that he has been saying this ALL fall and back to late summer, yet the ONI is UP four consecutive months and counting. I pointed out how useless his comparisons are stating out how strong this current event is relative to climo....."only events stronger at this point are 1998 and 1999", blan, blah", when this event is nothing like those because it is and has been STAGNANT. Its residual, unlike those events, which were flourishing.
Crickets.
He reminds me of JB, just in the other direction....just looking for clicks, or something...
