  1. All things considered, this is not a bad comparison! Two great snow seasons
  2. I'm really struggling to find analogs for a nina that had low heights over the northern plains along with above normal heights over northeast Pacific in October. Also, Europe tends to be above normal.
  3. How strong is this nina supposed to be?
  4. I would much rather have a warm October for winter's purposes.
  5. This is pretty far out, but it's looking more like October won't be so chilly after all!
  6. 70 years of data is not unreliable. I don't appreciate you always criticizing my work.
  7. Since 1950, only one cold October weak nina year had slightly above average snowfall at DCA. Most decent winters with cold Octobers were ninos.
  8. Our last October trace on snow was 2011-2012. Cold Octobers are bad for our winter.
  9. Bastardi hinted at favoring a northern Plains winter.
  10. Maybe she'll do a mini loop back into phase 8 for mid February. I'm not saying that I think that will happen, but think it's possible.
  11. Does the null phase of the MJO necessarily foreshadow near average weather conditions?
  12. Trends in the MJO towards a null phase are concerning to me.
  13. The MJO is alive and well, so winter will return with vengeance in a few weeks (though probably next month)!
  14. For anyone concerned about the second half of winter, check out the MJO charts from early winter 2013-2015! They actually align quite well!
  15. This MJO loop back to phase 5 is not a promising one for the long range.
  16. There's something about February ending winter nina droughts and other variables I haven't looked into yet.
  17. Fwiw, 2014 ended its drought big time the first week of February.
  18. 2011 was no dud, but I see why you mentioned that. No other 3 year span comes close to those though. eta: 1949-1953 may have been bad even with the low double digits overall, but the law of averages resulting from 2012-2013 ended in our favor.
  19. I don't think dca has ever had 3 extreme dud winters in a row (though this year isn't done yet).
