I remember I was going for a huge modoki el nino winter that season and thought we were off to the races with that event. Raindance had a mild east and I was giving him shit after that one. He had the last laugh.That season was my first of two consecutive servings of humble pie, which I needed coming off of that 2017-2018 clinic.
Probably going to be out sometime next week....seeing some issues emerging with my sensible weather composites that is causing me to revisit those. They were working very well all summer and into the early fall, but are shitting the bed as the wavelengths grow. Frustrating on the one hand, but it also clears up some conflict that existed between the sensible weather and ENSO composites.

This is where the eastward trend in la nina over the past month comes into play....it helps IMO. I don't expect that to change BC those trades are dying, and the western subsurface is warming. Although the eastern zones have certainly peaked...
