  1. I'll aim for middayish....hopefully a threat to track, but I have a feeling December starts slowly and mild.
  2. I don't think it's a horrible analog..flawed, sure, but there are certainly much worse.
  3. The PNA and PDO are not as highly correlated as many think.
  4. The last two years are def. decent analogs.
  5. I prefer 40s and overcast in the fall.
  6. I believe there is some sort of negative correlation between October and the winter, while there is a positive correlation between November and winter. But the October snow argument is a myth.
  7. CFS thinks I am on the right track for Novie:
  8. TBH, I need October to warm up in the east, and cool off in the west for my analogs to continue looking good.
  9. He has said he like 2000-2001 as an analog.
  10. Well, you mentioned "now that October SAI is out", like it matters what it is mid month...maybe I read too much into it...
  11. We are have way through the month....I would hold off on using the SAI.
  12. https://psl.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/data/composites/printpage.pl https://psl.noaa.gov/data/usclimdivs/
  13. Exactly how I feel. Everyone shuns it once they realize it isn't the silver bullet of seasonal forecasting. It's just another tool...like the QBO, etc
  14. So wasn't conjuring up electricity hundreds of years ago.
  15. It's worth checking before you go through any editing trouble because believe it or not, there is actually symmetry between my concurrent analogs, and low ACE, high solar years.
  16. Good job. I like your analogs, but I'm not sure why you chose to disregard low ACE based on an increase in activity. We are still definitely low ACE. I would also be careful about implying that this will be a bonafide moderate la nina because its struggling to even get there in terms of ONI. I think Hunga Tonga is a wild card in terms of precip that needs to be considered.
  17. Yes. I guess people want to stray from the usual spot?
  18. It always was more about the rate of change....ie SAI, more then the actual cover (SCE). The people claiming its worthless are every bit as ridiculous as those claiming its gospel. It's one damn tool.
