  1. i think you guys are getting too nitpicky and have a bit of PTSD from last year hell, Feb 2010 had a trough poking into AK and not really that much ridging out west. also had a deep trough south of AK. mean trough axis was offshore we could literally get this exact pattern again and people would complain about it. hell, if there was strong WC/AK ridging along with a -NAO, people would complain about suppression. it’s gotten to be a bit much
  2. after all that ranting and raving about weenies, he has come full circle. life comes at you fast, i guess
  3. now webb’s top analog is 2009. holy shit, you could cut the irony with a knife
  4. so people like myself, @griteater, @40/70 Benchmark, and others who had 2009 as a strong analog would have been called weenies by him, but now it’s his top analog? such bullshit
  5. lmao no, your argument is “well it’s on modeling now, what if it’s wrong? what if it just goes away?” which is a horrible argument and you know it. come on dude. imagine if Tony came in here if models had the PV over Greenland and was like “well what if they’re all just wrong and we can get a -NAO? the +NAO came up out of nowhere!” you’d write an impassioned essay using SAT vocab about how much of a dumb weenie is. you’re doing the same, just the other way
  6. you also misrepresented what i said. I didn’t say that there would be a massive -NAO month (although it likely ends up a tad negative). i said that canonical strong, especially super events feature strong +NAO patterns. that is likely not the case this month
  7. okay, so let’s just throw every single piece of higher skill guidance out? that’s not how you’re supposed to forecast and the models have not been flip flopping. they are all in agreement on a strong west based -NAO block that is both strengthening and moving forward in time. even Webb has conceded in that regard
  8. i agree with the boom/bust sentiment, and it seems like we’re leaning more boom than bust given the -NAO developing already
  9. this event is already not really acting canonical given its strength. strong to super Ninos often feature strong +NAO patterns… that is likely not the case this month
  10. AK ridging showing up later in the run. great pattern overall
  11. like i’m not sure what most of you want. this is a nearly ideal pattern. way more pros than cons
  12. huh? this is a colder than average pattern with blocking. there’s always going to be Pacific air in a strong Nino
  13. this looks good to me. the NPAC won’t be as much of an issue with Nino in place, +PNA and a SE trough is favored
  14. that is a legit -NAO too. notice how the entire N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  15. my lord that is a legit -NAO too… notice how the N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  16. that’s the point. El Niño Decembers that feature a -NAO often end up prolonging that blocking throughout the winter
  17. we haven’t been in a strong Nino in 8 years. the minimizing of Phases 4-6 is similar to the phantom pushes through 7-8-1 during La Ninas
  18. pretty much everything i’ve seen so far on LR guidance is highly auspicious… -NAO still remaining, which quickly puts on closer to the 2002/2009 winters rather than the crap ones like 1997 or 1972
  19. yeah once you’re into early December and you have blocking that anomalous you can pull off snow down to the MA. definitely a coastal pattern though
  20. your concerns are overblown… there is a ridge out west here. nothing like last year with a trough digging into Baja CA. not sure what you’re referring to
