Oh I get that totally...but that’s just my opinion on too much NAO.
If I had to choose between MAJOR blocking or a favorable pacific..I take favorable pacific/-EPO every time...but that’s just me.
Sure, if everything lines up perfectly, and the flow slows like Tip eluded to, then sure it can enhance things no doubt. But I’ll take my chances with a favorable pacific..without much in the way of NAO...
