I was not trolling anyone. My point is this, the hype about the upcoming pattern on twitter is crazy. This is not even close to 95-96 as some are saying there, which was a classic KU monster snowstorm pattern. 95-96 was a 1st year Niña, coming off a Nino, you had ++PNA galore, +PDO and a +PMM, which lead to a Nino like STJ. Super west-based -NAO, strong -AO, strong -EPO/-WPO and it was off to the races. This winter, aside from there being a La Niña is night and day different, the biggest difference being the huge RNA/-PNA, -PDO/-PMM and we have an extremely well coupled Niña, unlike 95-96 where it barely ever coupled. I respectfully disagree with some about a -PNA not mattering, it’s going to help pump the SE ridge and given the ridiculously warm SSTs off the coast, it’s just going to give it more juice. If there’s any kind of thunderstorm blowup in the SE during a storm formation it will really boost the ridge and then you will have cutting issues. Just my opinion
