  1. I'll sell that for now, though its certainly not comforting.
  2. I was just going to say...I like Feb better lol
  3. What does la nina look like? Stronger and/or more west based?
  4. It was hideous last year at this time, too...glad I ignored it. Maybe its right this year, but it has struggled with the tropics.
  5. I have noticed that structure....ie east vs west(modoki) isn't as important in weak events, as there is much more variance due to other exogenous factors......2000-2001 for instance was about as modoki as they come, but you never would have known it in terms of sensible weather....2008-2009 was also modoki and was pretty cold. Then again, 2005-2006 was very east based and yet pretty mild.
  6. 96-97 was cool neutral FWIW.. How about 75-76, 89-90 and 2011-2012?
  7. Nah....met degree taken from the kids' play pen?
  8. It's not all about temps...it won't grow much due to limited sun this time if year.
  9. I just mowed and trimmed for final time on Saturday...will start raking when I return from Africa
  10. Yea, you just add a degree to the composite, but disregarding a potentially good analog due to GW is silly.
  11. Yea, maybe winter ends up mild, but the CFS will be wrong on ENSO....I can tell you that.
  12. I am willing to guess you have a long, and violent gender at 01-02 and 11-12 every cool ENSO I have questions about his methodology, too...but unlikely a pro met residing in Texas with over 40 years of experience is favoring big NE snow years as analogs out of bias. It's just a pet peeve of mine to ostracize and call bias bc you (collective not personal) do not like the composite outcome. Anyway, LC did very well last season FWIW.
  13. I don't think it's possible for you to ever favor a colder outcome. If you wanna question his methods, fine, but the guy isn't picking it analogs based upon waste coast snowfall....or by ENSO.
  14. I could def. deal with Cosgrove's analog composite lol.....1976, 1995, 2007 and 2020. Last year is the only one that wasn't outstanding here, but not concerned about LBSW in consecutive la ninas.
  15. Yes...its going to be pretty close to the border of weak and mod.
  16. Agreed. Not best case, not worst case.
  17. My point isn't that it will be a carbon copy of last year...rather we should have some volatility...like last year.
  18. Yea, as they did last year. Central based la nina...not modoki, which is the kiss of death. Not east based, either...
  19. Yea, "well" is a relative term...when the other option is cyhphilis, then I'll be content with herpes.
  20. @snowman19I think what you are pining for is a modoki, which is solidly region 4 focused, not a central based event....the latter, like last year, is what this event is. It's more variable with mixed features of modoki and west-based events.
  21. Sure we can....its alot easier the more east based la nina is. Keep the coolest anonalies out of region 4.
  22. It is and has been a central based event..region 1.2 has positive anomalies, however, the coolest anomalies should steer clear of region 4. I haven't issued any forecast and won't until early November.
  23. Yea, especially down there...we can get away with it in NE. But +EPO sucks for everyone.
