the easiest way to get snow is to have the mean trough in the east lol. The easiest way to have that is a having a ridge in the west. How do we keep a ridge in the west? Seems like we need to start having PDO winters that are positive. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/cmb/ersst/v5/index/ersst.v5.pdo.dat
the PDO has been very negative for a long time. We need to shift our SSTs out west --not sure how that happens? Nino?
lol you would think a neutral is a 50/50 type thing. like you ENSO shouldnt be driving the pattern as much as say your NAO/AO and PNA. The SER shouldnt be a dominant feature on paper. You would think you have bouts of wintry weather combined with bouts of warmth and you should be getting average snow lol. Thats how i would see it on paper. But if we get SE ridge in NINA and Neutral as the most dominant feature....were fooking done
i dont think so...we all always get screwed by southern sliders in Nina
dont forget....too north for southern sliders, to west for Eastern coastal bombs...too east for clippers...to south for Miller B's
