Yea, I thought the Pacific would end up a hair less favorable, and the Atlantic/polar domain a bit better...in the end, not bad. I def. had the idea of poleward Aleutian ridging owed to east biased la nina. Interesting regarding the correlation....that is one area that I am weak on. I don't really incorporate those, aside from ENSO forecasting. Those correlations are something that I see you and raindance use alot.
