  1. Same page....been saying the Pacific is going to look better this winter than a lot of people think. The surface of the tropical Pacific belies what is going on right now in the atmosphere. I think the eruption is also playing a role with respect to the dead tropics if you read some the research that raindance referenced.
  2. That should hold up again.
  3. I actually think it was a bit south of me if I had to guess....like Andover, Tewksbury, Wilmington......it was absolutely pouring to about Woburn.
  4. I should have checked the gauge before I left, but forgot.
  5. It was raining pretty good at home, and pouring on my way in, until I hit about route 128....then the rain was just showery with nearly dry pavement in Chelsea.
  6. Miraculous how the QPF axis inexorably settles on that same damn CJ swath lol
  7. I can deal...one of the final shots of that crap, despite what the confused emoji calvary thinks.
  8. I always considered '08-'09 as weak la nina.
  9. A good rule of thumb is that if you can't find a single season over like a 100 year sample size worth of data that meets your criteria, then it may be too exclusive, but to each their own. Maybe you could at least split your "central based" composite into a couple of subsets because there is most certain a difference between an eastward leaning central based season, like 2010-2011, and a season that I consider to be west based, like 2011-2012. That needs to be reflected IMHO.
  10. I remember I got into a bit of a debate with him on Twitter after he posted his wintee outlook...he said it would be a ratter bc off all of the other warmest fall analogs. I told him point blank, the la nina is east based, so we are probably going to get at least one really wintery stretch due to poleward Aleutian ridging.
  11. I just mean if my area were to end up in the max axis, it could easily end up over 2"....not that it necessarily has to happen like that.
  12. 91-92 was a strong east-based el nino....maybe the volcano enhanced the impact as far as +NAO/AO, but I don't think that season needed much help to suck.
  13. Hey, almost more than I had for July and August combined....nice dent.
  14. Is it me, or does the constant need for Eric Fisher to give very PC responses get on your last nerve? He is on twitter talking about how he felt dissapointed over Edouard whiffing in '96 bc he was just a dumb kid...I replied that any adult weather enthusiast would be disappointed whether they admit it or not. Guy gets on my nerves.
  15. Yea, obviously..same here. La nina was the priority. That changes next year.
  16. Figure it has to rain appreciably here at some point....maybe this is it.
  17. I need to do en Nino composites, as well. I'll do those either next spring or summer.
  18. If you look through the composites, it matches up pretty well with what you would expect., with descent above the coolest anomalies, and ascent aligned with the warmer.
