BTW, with how negative the PDO has been, it’s no surprise it is starting to become less negative. I’m not sure that means it’s going to flip to positive soon.
-
Now you're just getting desperate.
-
Truly frightening. lol
-
How much does it even matter if the current 3.4 anomaly is high than 1997 at this time? Nothing else that matters is anything like 1997 right now. Twitter is just used for hype apparently.
-
This is another index that kind of shows my point about how the super Nino years were "primed" and ready to go by this point.
-
I guess the sun angle didn’t stop it from accumulating.
-
Even the CFSv2 with its super Nino forecast has 1.2 peaking now and falling. Some of the members have it barely above 0 by December.
-
I'm sure he is talking about Tonga.
-
Even the vehicle in the driveway melted away.
-
I remember in summer 2014 when the talk was of a strong Nino coming on, the SOI never averaged strongly negative. If you were forecasting based off the SOI, you would’ve forecasted a weak Nino and sure enough that’s what we ended up with. The 30 day is barely negative right now. It’ll be interesting to see what it looks like this summer.
-
It’s a hinderance to its development though. It reminds me of Spring 2016 when we had models going crazy predicting a strong Nina. The CFS V2 had a super Nina predicted. The PDO never went negative though and the best we could do was a weak Nina that winter despite what the models were forecasting.
-
I guess that’s why I hate twitter. Other than some of the models, there’s nothing IMO that indicates a strongest Nino ever by late summer. This isn’t just random guy tweeting either. It’s Paul Roundy. That’s what frustrates me.
-
This is the kind of stuff that frustrates me. I’d love some reasoning as to why he believes this could be the strongest ever by late summer. It’s late April and the 3.4 anomaly is still around 0.
-
I’m going to be an outlier and say +.9-1.2 peak.
-
So +1.5-1.9 tri monthly peak?
-
What strength do you forecast this Nino to peak at?
-
I never said anything about what you thought would happen. lol
-
Yeah. You were right on with intensity despite all of twitter telling us it was going to be the strongest in 5000 years(maybe I exaggerated a bit there).
-
I remember all the tweets snowman 19 posted last year about how we were going to have a strong Nina this past Winter.
-
I went to Tennessee for the 2017 eclipse. Be prepared for traffic like you’ve never seen. Map out and plan back road routes because if it’s anything like I experienced in 2017, traffic will be at a stand still on the interstates.
-
This is why I don’t agree with people who say we’re in a -PDO period that started in the late ‘90s.
-
December 72 didn't look anything like a Nino across the US. The coldest temp anomalies were in the northern plains. Maybe from the -PDO?

I meant the pattern we had in winter not a winter like pattern. lol -

It looks like the winter pattern is coming back with troughs digging into Mexico. -
Anywhere on the map between the normal line and the plus one line is above normal. So, the entire east coast is above normal on that map. Obviously, it was much warmer than that forecast but my point was that there wasn’t any big east coast cold and snow hype in Weatherbell’s forecast like George claimed.
