  1. Gonna be some nuclear shit going down if we get a system under an anticyclone this year.
  2. I feel as though there is room for both. There is plenty of substantive met dialogue in these threads, but I don't see the harm in breaking someone's marbles when the opportunity presents itself....life is more tolerable when you can allow for some levity. I don't see anything personal or particularly venomous.
  3. When have I ever supported him? I have always agreed with you that his primary focus at this stage of his career is click bait. That being said, I'm not sure why anyone would ignore the strong consensus for dateline forcing next winter. Yes, the el nino continues to be heavily east-based at this time, which accentuates the point that the coming winter will be no slam-dunk of a forecast.
  4. TBH, I would prefer a moderate-strong event in terms of ONI...all set with another 2018-2019.
  5. I feel like weakening still has an impact on March.
  6. The forcing is very relevent to ENSO, as its dictated by ENSO. It's like calling posts about storm surge OT in a hurricane thread.
  7. People need to remember that huge storms are relatively rare for a reason. It's not just about getting teleconnection bingo, but you also need to hit on the right wave spacing and relative intensity and orientation of each said index. The latter is often more difficult to achieve than the teleconnections bingo...that is one thing I have learned the past few years during this seemingly interminable cool ENSO stretch.
  8. PDO makes me suspect 3 things about this winter: 1) Polar Domain will make or break this season 2) Inceased risk of deconstructive interference with amplifying waves during neg NAO periods..this ties into 3. 3) Idea of a mid Atlantic focus for snowfall with appreciably strong el nino events is less likely this year....at least in terms of historic deals. We may see some sheared out, attenuating waves dump moderate snows down there either fail to turn the corner and/or dizzle out with latitude.
  9. It probably will be strong, but big diff between 1.7 and 2.3.
  10. Yea, this ssta distribution would be worrisome if it were December. Do me a favor, look at a ssta anomaly chart from November of last year, and then look at one from January as you recall the overall tenor of last season.
  11. Haha Full disclosure, no way would I be able to do that with my blog and all ..I just wanted to see how confident you were. I will definitely give you credit if you are right, though.
  12. I'll bet you right now the ONI doesn't hit 2.0....loser can't post between 12/1 and 3/31. You even have less to lose with the 5/day deal working for ya....
  13. Kind of....RONI attempts to provide a better idea of the intensity of ENSO relative to a warming ambient planet, which obviously plays a role in the strength of the ocean-atmosphere coupling that MEI measures, so it is no coincidence that efforts to add historical context to the current MEI value yield similar results with respect to like efforts pertaining to the RONI. Neither stack up with past super el nino events at this time.
  14. Its meant to measure the intensity of the ocean-atmosphere coupling, rather than the shear magnitude of the particular ENSO event.
