"Wait wait--turn those planes around!"

Man we haven't had a positive analog in years, lol Anybody ever notice that the last 4-5 years the only analogs discussed are bad/mediocre years? Would like a good analog for a change...13-14 would be nice

Would be nice to have another go at it...now if we get it for a second winter in a row and it still doesn't work? Sheesh (but I guess even blocking still needs a good cold source!)

And that's the problem...folks think I'm jumping off a cliff with the idea that things may be broken for snow chances, but until I see us have an above average winter again, I don't think I'll be convinced that they're not. This is not the 70s...and can we really say we've had this background state before? I'm telling ya...something might be going on.

Nah I think he's referring to the other one (2015-16). Things ain't been right since!

CV?

So let's look at how those winters turned out for snow overall, and how those Januarys' looked for snow: 2018-19: 18.3" Jan: 7.9" 2003-04: 18.3" Jan: 8.4" 2001-02: 2.3" Jan: T 2000-01: 8.7" Jan: 3.7" 1998-99: 15.2" Jan: 4.0" 1997-98: 3.2" Jan: 0.7" 1987-88: 20.4" Jan: 13.7" 1968-69: 18.6" Jan: 0.1" 1960-61: 46.5" Jan: 14.3" So do SSWs have any correlation? I'd like to see a full list of winters that had them in January or February as well. But for the December ones it's kinda hard to tell...but no blockbusters others than 60-61 (that epic decade for snow, lol)

Thanks! Yeah just wanted to try and get an idea...(because every year by the time I think of it's the peak is already past, lol). A met on Twitter suggested that the second/third week of October would be the peak...anybody have any thoughts on that?

A question: If you said it took a leap during THAT super nino...does it stand to reason that it took another leap during the 2015-16 super niño? Because let me tell ya...feels like that year broke something, lol

Anybody gonna start a foliage thread? Trying to pick just the right time to drive up to Friendly Farms (usually our family's autumn drive!)

Knowing that wretched climate they'll probably flood and/or mudslide....sheesh. I hope the in between seasons are worth it!!

But wait...didn't last year kinda reverse that? Remember how November torched? Lol

I mean...aren't la ninas usually colder on the front end anyway?

Translation? Lol

That is, assuming those still work, lol Certainly didn't last year!!
