  1. Right....but think about it. November was cold and we nearly had a significant snow event. I would argue it has started early, but we just didn't really benefit from it because it was too early and for climo. Now December looks to break for a bit before reloading second half. Still on tract for the "early" start IMO.
  2. I think 12/2008 got going like the 17th...just as a point of reference. I had 2.5" on 12/17, then we got nailed beginning the 20th....I actually expect a similar outcome this month.
  3. Maybe this winter will blow and I will be totally wrong...would not be the first time and wouldn't be the last. But it far too early to even suggest that.
  4. Should of read before responding...I see you guys covered this. People are just so on edge this season.....there is a reason I implied the earliest we would see anything significant this month was week two, and it may very well be week 3. I don't pull these time table out of my rear. Now, doesn't necessarily mean its right this season, but it was thoroughly researched.
  5. The first half of the month is not usually snowy...fact, not opinion.
  6. Qualify it however you want. It was a good winter. You were wrong.
  7. I agree lower heights near AK will be an issue this year, but it's not going to be a 2012 black hole. PNA will be variable.
  8. You said the same, exact thing last year. Your default la nina opinion.
  9. I'm messing around looking at past stinko la nina seasons...and I can't find a November that looked like this one. November 2011 was polar opposite, aside from some lower heights around AK, but not to the same degree.
  10. Nothing egregious, just relentlessly "poking the hornet's nest", as you would say.
  11. @ORH_wxmanI know it's a good sign for winter when October-November flips from warm Oct to cold Nov....do you know what the exact stat is?
  12. I have noticed that...seems more useless nodes of late. Last January was perfect example. Not only ENSO that is being muted-
  13. I feel guilty...dirty even, but @Torch Tiger's trolls are kind of growing on me lol
  14. Its tough to know for certain....the coupling often decays as the season evolves anyway, and always has. But I do agree that it is mitigating ENSO to a degree...that makes sense to me. Its just tough to determine when exactly to attribute that because external forcing sources have always intervened at times.
  15. I do not debate the merits of what you are saying at all.....I just don't feel it has negated ENSO altogether, and I know you didn't suggest that. I do think it can with meager events, but not so much in strongly coupled events such as this.
  16. I'd take 2001-2001, 2011-2012 and 2019-2020 consecutively if it would bring substance to your posts.
  17. In December, same here...despite current modeling, I think I will ultimately do okay with that look.
  18. John, despite any mitigating impact that HC expansion may have, I don't think that there is any doubt that this cold ENSO event is having its presence felt in the atmosphere. I agree RE last year's event, but this one, albeit rather paltry in terms of ONI, is very well coupled.
