I know if there's a storm there will be 1k posts /minute

Yeah then I'll be bored as the DOJ taught me the price of being extraverted is great

There's really no where else to post. It's a weather monopoly. Europe is surprisingly stupid, always lol.

You probably have a good heart. The "ownership of this board" doesn't really know what they are moderating.. It's 99% non weather posts, no one since Vawxman in 2005 has really given any new scientific information on here.

This board sucks.. moderation is so immature. How's that for the only science forum on the internet? Just like the government disappointing, disappointing. sick of being moderated by trash.

I guess it was cloudy today (-AO pick up on models)

I think this is a pretty big model error coming in at -PNA Days 14-16 on gfs ensembles (haven't seen 18z yet).

Eagles covering -2.5

Good maybe we'll get some snow

You'd be better off making conclusion based on subsurface ENSO.. higher correlation. by a pretty significant margin actually vs the surface difference An example is this year so far being more +PNA vs 10-year average,. when subsurface is +Neutral-weak El Nino vs surface La Nina

QBO favorable with Strong El Nino could be awesome Flip this year for the NAO lol

If Nino 1+2 is already warm we will probably be going into El Nino. May has been the month where it backs off or goes full forward lately.

Stupid moderator block on my posts! How long is this going to last? I give real information for fun!

As of right now.. will probably change when models change If we are more +PNA Feb 5-21 we are stuck will possibly a -PNA March. If -PNA hits Feb 5-21 like models are currently showing, there could be some subsurface ENSO strength going into March(which actually won't matter ultimately!) If we run through both timeperiods independent, we are more likely to have an organic ENSO event this year.

Wetter than average/-NAO December's evolves into +NAO February's Drier than average/+NAO December's evolves into -NAO February's 75 years of basis.. pretty cool correlation there. The Feb NAO signal> Dec NAO(pick and choose) *wetter/drier than average across the US Strong -PNA December's = -PNA/+NAO February's at 0.68 correlation Strong +PNA December's = +PNA/-NAO February's at 0.70 correlation

We actually have some pretty big pressure hitting the coast of Alaska today, and it's so warm out.. feels like 50. If the -PNA/+NAO that these LR models are showing verifies it will be 60s/70s ^look how this is kind of a 180*/from today, and it's still so warm out. Pressure breaching the N. Pacific is definitely a staple of this time. (I still think there is a +PNA signal 2nd week of February, will be interesting to see how this evolves.)

I would say no snow through Valentine's day.. easy call

And the same February pattern is repeating as the last 4 years (as per current models). Mathematical odds of 5 strong -PNA's is actually pretty low.

Feels like 50s today.. I can always tell when the PNA changes. (-PNA, had been +PNA a lot of the Winter)

Rain

It's actually been a wet Winter so far If we get cold, I think we can get some snow (PNA-NAO have been correlated and when the Pacific is good, I fear NAO could be positive). Also 2/13 -NAO in December have all time been wetter than average, like we have seen this year. If you use counter-analogs (+NAO/dry December) we get a large composite that has a stronger +NAO February signal than -NAO strength in December (which I picked and chose analogs from!) Pretty incredible correlation there. No one would probably guess that this has been a shutout (-AO/NAO) v (reminds me a lot of 97-98)

I think LR models have a La Nina bias, and are weighing this too heavily: result

I'm actually waiting for my posts to be approved.. Climatology shows that a strong subsurface warm pool right now leads strong NIno's such as '82 and '97. I think in a larger range of year you would have different results, I think we are going into El Nino, but maybe Weak or Moderate. (It could go strong, and have the N. Pacific have a base -PDO state, such as 72-73.)

Here you go guys.. flex that SE ridge (84hr 00z NAM vs 90hr 18z GFS)
