Eh it's hard to tell. The pattern will change hopefully. There are a ton of variables but I do think that we will be stuck with a bad Pacific for a few years. Something about everything balancing out in the west. They had severe drought for several years and now I think they are going to have some really big surpluses the next several winters which really they need.
Well the models have trended like crap this weekend. This has been a horrendous pattern really since December. I might need to move out west if this is going to be the norm. Especially with a negative pdo which last decades. The SER has been an immovable force this winter as well. A lot of just bad upper atmosphere drivers this winter.
As GA has explained it's a lot more complex than that. Especially when you have blocking over the top, a decaying Nina, a 50/50 low, different wavelengths.... It's a lot.
That's weird because the wind hit on this side of the mountains before the storms hit. We had a ton of trees go down before the storms hit. About an hour ahead of the storms. Then the storms hit and all hell broke loose. Been without power for 15 hours now.
Things are going to be getting turbulent soon.
