  1. 29.8 30.0/29.7 currently....hard, killing freeze. Deck iced up.
  2. I'm not opposed to a relatively mild December and I still definitely favor a warm-neutral ENSO. My point was I don't think the ship has entirely sailed on a marginal el nino. As far as the sst anomalies go, a +.55C in 1950 is means the same thing in 2019...sure, overall temps are warming, but anomalies are relative.
  3. 3 of your 6 best ENSO matches went on to become el nino events. Interesting that you link mild Decembers in east to warm region 4. When region 4 is above +0.5c in latter September as it was this season, the odds are very high for el nino since 1990. I listed the data set in my blog. Full of strong Ninos, and weak ones that were cold in the east, save for 1994.
  4. I'd take the former over the latter....92-93 was bookended by two of the best events of my life.
  5. I am probably the most indecisive at this juncture that I have been since I delved deeply into seasonal outlooks 5 years ago, but I don't see anything that screams "interior".
  6. Thanks for the thoughts. Hope you're right. I also don't really see an interior ne winter like many. We'll see.
  7. The fast flow can be a good thing or a bad thing in relation to track. It depends on the degree of phasing and percise location and overall speed of trough axis.
  8. I don't think speed of movement is that big of a deal. Its all about dynamics because most of the snow usually falls in a 6-12 hr window, anyway. How impactful if is that extra 6-12 hours of shreded returns? This is why we continue to get huge events amidst the compressed background flow. Now, if you want to argue that the fast flow will make phasing more difficult, maybe, but I don't think we are there yet.
  9. If I had to say right now, I'd probably go +.35 to +.45C NDJ peak.
  10. I got last season and hurled my fried dough everywhere
  11. Some thoughts I had on ENSO....looks modoki to me at the moment....but last season is fresh in my mind. Very open to alternative lines of thinking. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2019/10/enso-update-pathway-remains-for-modest.html Of course, the elephant in the room is that the most likely outcome is probably neutral, but I am not ready to discount the shot of a last moment, meager el nino.
  12. The way I see it, when region 4 is this warm, it goes onto to become a cold modoki season if it remains modest (it will, if it even makes el nino). The others were mega el ninos and aren't applicable. Only mild mild comp is 1994....but we are going to have to see region 1.2 warm pretty dramatically throughout October, or else that loses relevance fast. The subsurface does not look conducive for that to happen right now.
  13. Looks pretty modoki to me at the moment...caveat being that these meager el nino events are more prone to alternate forcing sources. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2019/10/enso-update-pathway-remains-for-modest.html
  14. Oh....my gauge is crap, and I didn't care to research it. Just poured like hell for a few hours last evening.
  15. Never forget my epic showdown with BrickTamland from se forum back in 2009. I took the crown
  16. Yea, later in the season once the novelty dies. Not early on.
  17. Man, having kids has turned Will into a nanna lol
  18. Sign me up for cloudy, cool and crisp with a slight aroma of smoke permeating the neighborhood.
