I'm ignoring the Pacific by pointing out that this la nina is running behind last year's in terms of ONI? That is an indisputable fact....period. Deal with it and stop making worthless drive by posts.
The rest of the Pacific is very la nina like...all I said was it's pretty tame in terms of ONI, which is not the whole story.
Preaching to the choir...I keep seeing posts on Twitter about how la nina is taking off and will def be moderate and top last year....isn't happening in terms of ONI. However, this season should be more nina like than last year, regardless.
Should be ready early Novie...thought I would get more done than I have in Africa....but I have an 8 hour layover in Dubai on the way back, which should be fruitful.
That is the rub....state has a much better pension, which maxes at 80% of highest salary, but the pension has not cost of living escalators...its a give and take.
My mistake. I had a bunch of windows open at once and must have looked at the wrong data. I still don't feel its a very viable analog due to the strength of la nina.
