Two different features I know, but the same can be said about the Pacific. 10 days ago, people here were ready to write off winter because it had shown its hand (PAC puke) and we shouldn't expect it to change on a dime. Welp, the pattern changed quite quickly in the Pacific and here we are. Weeklies have been honking a -NAO for the last several weeks to take hold in late January and now the ensembles are showing in the LR.
