  1. 0z NAM hangs more energy back, for the later part of the wave, vs 18z gfs https://ibb.co/Fz5q7rH
  2. I wonder if the block will stop when the SOI moderates (It's in the -30's/-40's now). The subsurface ENSO has neutralized, and I found, all things neutral, for that to be the biggest correlator to the pattern.. even a negative tendency now in the subsurface, so I would guess this favorable pattern lasts as long as we can keep the SOI negative.
  3. That's a big change in 5 days! Strong El Nino/-QBO has a very high correlation with Stratosphere warming, so I was actually surprised when models were showing a strong 10mb PV end to the year (the historical percentage is about 75-80% for the DJFM to have 10mb warming/cooling when the two indexes are together and strong)
  4. Really turns into a +PNA/-AO in the LR.. agrees with the current SOI coming in <-40, and MJO I think too. See how there is a Stratosphere lag: https://ibb.co/wgsNTP6
  5. +AMO appears to still be peaking. On the monthly dataset, it maxed out in September 2022 at +0.643 (#2 was 0.5), then all last Spring and Summer last year there were record warm SSTs in the central-Atlantic Ocean. My guess is it would still rise for a few years to come. I think since the late '90s, TC's have hit the EC at like 60%, while the average # of storms has increased by 180%.. interesting.
  6. Pacific looks awesome for this event. This is one that needs to bomb and become a 50/50 low to set us up for a really favorable period around PD.
  7. There was always snow cover when I was a kid. We also used to get a lot of flurries storms, and numerous 1-3, 2-4". I think a lot of the millennium kids don't really know that. It also used to be much windier in the Wintertime. You're right about the pattern.. it is awesome, but the globe has been saturated with High pressure lately so we'll have to see if that ever breaks.
  8. I'm not going to keep saying the -NAO needs to ease up for us to get a storm.. have some faith. I don't want one of those storms where it melts fast anyway. The STJ is active right now.. All we need is one of these to time right with the cold air.. I'd rather the block hold its strong tendency through early March, than lift out and give us a storm. But recent runs have started to weaken -NAO in the 16 day today, yeah.
  9. I don't think La Nina's are a product of global warming. In the '80s and '90s there was a lot of stuff about how the SE, US would be the only place not really effected too much because +PDO/El Nino was correlated at the time to be a global warming variable.
  10. They are getting crushed in LA! https://ibb.co/vZ9gpKw
  11. The problem is this big N. Pacific High pressure, which is not a product of global warming https://ibb.co/xSDVk08 Actually, it's a product of La Nina https://ibb.co/kmN2YXs But it was hypothesized in the '90s that El Nino's would be more common than La Nina's in global warming, but since the AMO went + in 1995 we have had 15 La Nina's and 9 El Nino's.
  12. +Heights over AK is even better! But that W. Pacific High is starting to encroach on latest guidance.. do you worry about that suffocating the +PNA low? It has been a trend of the last 7 years, especially in February..
  13. These big gaps mid-Winter are like "meh" I am ready for Spring. It will be kind of annoying to have a lot of snow that melts in 2-3 days.. then is in like the 50s. Or 45 that feels like 60 lol December-mid Jan snows are so much better
  14. I disagree that 09-10 is the limit. The global precipitation has been increasing with the warming. I think a more realistic expectation is that the temperature keeps increasing, but the number of bigger storms increases too. That was the trend in the early 2000s through about 2016, then 7-8 years off of it doesn't really break the overall trend imo. Look at how much precipitable water we have this year. https://ibb.co/NjZ5TZ8 No other year really comes close. 15-16 is #2, at about 80% of the total anomaly.
  15. Do you really believe that? NYC just had a pretty amazing 40" streak not a decade ago. The predominant pattern lately is -PNA, which of course could change, as the 50s and 60s were the last time -PNA was so common. In +PNA I think NYC does much better.
