    2022-23 is hard to classify (the last 3 years for that matter because the MEI, RONI, and ONI were all out of whack). The MEI had this as a super la nina, but this one peaked earlier in season, and dissipated as the season went on. I have it as a moderate la nina (the RONI splits the difference), same as 2021-22 (since they were pretty much the same la nina, just peaking in between season). 2000-01 would replace 2022-23 in this case, and December 2000 was even better than December 2022. February 2001, 2006, and 2009 all had a snowstorm here at PHL, even though all of them finished above average temperaturewise.

    Not really. 2016-17 and 2017-18 were weak la ninas, and they produced the 2 of the warmest Februarys all-time in the Eastern US.

    2014 is the only other hurricane season in recent history in the Atlantic to be as inactive as this one. That year only had 2 named storms in September: Dolly and Edouard. Coincidentally, this was the last season to have a later dated first storm than this year. 2014 finished with 8 named storms, making it the least active season in the 21st century. 2014 was an active year in the Pacific. That is certainly not the case this September, with Ilena being the only named storm this month.

    Looks like August had a -PNA. 2024 8 -1.04 This is good news for the mid-Atlantic. We just need a blocking pattern in November, and we'll be in business for this winter.
  5. PhiEaglesfan712
    October -PNA works better than December -PNA here in the mid-Atlantic. Probably would get a backloaded winter out of this, as November and December would be a torch, but hopefully a March 2023-type block in January would lead to cold and snow opportunities in the first 4 months of 2025.

    Thing is, 2023-24 was a strong el nino. Those type of years are wild cards. You never really know what you're going to get with them. You might get a cold and snowy year like 1957-58 or 2009-10, or one that is very warm like 2023-24. Comparing it with the previous 3 years (all moderate la ninas) would be like comparing apples to oranges. La nina years tend to be much more predictable when you know the other surrounding factors.

    2007 was like this until the mudstorm in late October (probably prevented 2007-08 from being a full-fledged drought). That year had a 90-degree day in late September and an 89-degree day on October 8. October ended up as the warmest on record. November and December were cooler than average. January-April 2008 were warm, but nothing out of the ordinary (2-3 degrees above average each month). Overall, a well below average snowfall season.

    It sucked that the 12/22 block was the short term one and the 3/23 one was long term. It just took too long for all the pieces on the latter block to come together. If the 3/23 block happened in 12/22 instead, and developed the way it did, late January through March would have been cold and snowy during the parts when it wasn't dry.

    Anti-1986/1987 analog: vs. 2007: Starting from the Dakotas/Texas and all the way eastward, this is nearly a perfect match.
  11. PhiEaglesfan712
    I don't know if I said this before, but anti-2007 gets us an el nino:
  12. PhiEaglesfan712
    December 2016 was the cool month of the winter here at PHL. Almost reminded me a lot of December 2007. January and February 2017 were a lot warmer than average.
  13. PhiEaglesfan712
    Yeah, most of this fall is going to be dry, just as in my analog years of 1998 and 2007: We just have to hope for a mudstorm in late October like 2007. Otherwise, we'll have our first drought in a really long time.
  14. PhiEaglesfan712
    Isn't it common for last year la ninas to die early on? It happened in 1950-51, 1956-57, and to an extent 2022-23. None of those years were good snow years at PHL (all finished below 8 in of snow). Even with the snowy February, 1971-72 finished with just over 12 in of snow at PHL.
  15. PhiEaglesfan712
    I just have to hope for a mudstorm in late October, like 2007, or we're probably going to have a drought in the mid-Atlantic.
  16. PhiEaglesfan712
    Yeah, we got a record warm October, then the mudstorm happened the last weekend of the month. If not for the mudstorm, we probably would have had a drought during the 2007-08 winter. Of course, November and December were cooler than average. Then, January-April were above average, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
  17. PhiEaglesfan712
    More likely 2026-27 or even 2027-28. El ninos don't form that quickly. Remember, they were hyping up an el nino in 2012-13, but it didn't form until 2014-15.
  18. PhiEaglesfan712
    Imagine the cold and snow in the winter following this modoki el nino: I don't think this will happen next summer (as CanSIPS is showing), but I think something like this could form a year or two down the road (in 2026-27 or 2027-28). We'd probably be in +PDO and -AMO. The blob in the North Pacific looks eerily similar to 2013-14 and 2014-15.
  19. PhiEaglesfan712
    Of course, 1957-58 is one of those rare cases where everything came together oh so perfectly during a stronger el nino winter:
  20. PhiEaglesfan712
    In fall 2011, when I was a student at Drexel, I read this book for one of my classes: I remember somewhere in the book where they talk about the winter of 1957-58 being very snowy and cold.

    I'm a huge tennis fan. Tomorrow is a big sports day for me. Fritz-Tiafoe, then the Eagles play their opener.
  22. PhiEaglesfan712
    Yeah, the AMO/PDO flip is going to look something like 2012-16. If something is underway, I think 2024-25 would be the 2012-13 stage. Next summer/fall is when the PDO would be starting to flip. The flip will be apparent by the summer of 2026. Crazy as it sounds, I think we could get the modoki el nino the CanSIPS was showing, but maybe for 2026-27, and that would be the lead up to the super el nino event in 2027-28. Only difference is that the PDO/AMO doesn't flip back like it did in 2016-17.
  23. PhiEaglesfan712
    Actually, since 2012 (the uber warm 2015 skewed everything): For what it's worth, all of these Decembers were warm: Of course, January-March in those years were cold (not so much 2013, which was a bit cooler than average especially February and March, but 2014 and 2015 were historically cold): FWIW, the warmer Novembers since 2012 (aside from 2015) were 2016, 2020, and 2022. All of those years were central-based la ninas.
  24. PhiEaglesfan712
    We just need a mudstorm like late October 2007.
  25. PhiEaglesfan712
    CFS showing a cool November for the midwest and most of the East (this bodes well for a good winter):
