  1. would totally take that. anything to get this Nina crap out of there basin wide anomalies like that would be totally fine, too. just can't be pure east-based
  2. it's because the CFS is more basin-wide/east based and the CanSIPS is more classic Modoki... the farther east-based the Nino is, the farther east that negative anomaly offshore is either way, I would take that 500mb for Jan in a heartbeat. 10x better than what we've seen over the last several years with deep negative anomalies over the SE US
  3. strong is fine. 2002-03 and 2009-10 were borderline strong. super is bad
  4. interesting and real, but indeed depressing
  5. winter is over forever. might as well close up shop. base state and all
  6. it was more prolific NYC south. NYC had 44.7" and BWI had 43.0" makes sense when you had this pattern for the last three months of the season. basically 2009-10 lite
  7. an evolution like 1957-58 wouldn't really be that farfetched given where all the warmth is under the surface right now. the CanSIPS has a pretty similar evolution with the stronger east-based anomalies migrating westward during autumn
  8. 57-58 was strong and also came off a stretch of three Ninas. honestly, not a far-fetched SST configuration given the subsurface anomalies. it's somewhere between basin-wide and Modoki. ended up becoming a prolific winter, regardless
  9. you realize 2002-03 and 2009-10 were both borderline strong, right? the placement of the anomalies matters more, anyway. I would much rather have a strong Modoki instead of a weak-moderate east-based Nino
  10. I'm cool with that. anything with a chance at a 3 footer is fine by my book with an STJ that strong
  11. you say that, but wait until we get an onslaught of cutoffs like the west has been getting recently. what goes around comes around there has been plenty of discussion about how climate change is making it harder for the MA to get consistent snow, but what I can say with certainty is that when it rains, it pours. put Jan 2016 in this winter and BWI gets a 30 burger
  12. Modoki is just when the greatest positive anomalies are centered near the Dateline, forcing a deep trough in a really nice spot south of the Aleutians. they're also quite blocky in the Atlantic Nino 1+2 can also have negative anomalies, but it's often just the least warm portion of the ENSO domain
  13. west-based and central-based are the same thing, just different wording. they're great for both NYC and BWI due to the persistent Aleutian LP
  14. yeah that look makes me more inclined to think that we might get the holy grail moderate Modoki this year. all that warmth near the Dateline has to go somewhere. the CanSIPS has a nice evolution with the warmth migrating towards the Dateline as the Nino matures PDO also becomes neutral, W Atlantic really cools down. I'm honestly quite excited for next winter
  15. we have never ever had four -ENSO years in a row, if that's any consolation. ENSO is a self-destructive process
  16. seasonals almost never predict below average temps for entire months at that range, so the CanSIPS showing a solidly below average February is quite impressive if we get a central-based Nino we're probably going to clean up. those are almost always money
  17. 2009-10 also followed two consecutive Ninas, one of them strong during 2007-08
  18. imagine how people in the west felt during 2013-14 and 2014-15 when they were parked under a 578dam ridge all winter. that was ALSO due to climate change. it all is. people only attribute its influence to less snowy periods when it made the snowy periods a bit more insane, too
  19. look at it this way, this shift helps the Rockies get their 43rd blizzard of the year! they’ve really been starved for snow out there, good for them
  20. i know, I was being facetious. either way, next winter seems like the best shot for the MA to get it good in a while. I want to break the spring barrier, but if we're staring down a moderate Nino by June, I will be pretty excited if we get a moderate Modoki I would say there's a much higher than normal chance for a 30"+ winter for BWI. they're that good. even basin-wide would give a great shot at it. just happy that we're incinerating this multi year Nina
  21. wait a second. i forgot. we are going to see 95 Ninas in the next 110 years. and they will all suck. and maybe 5 Ninos in there, but they will be +3.0 and have the Pacific jet stretching to Iowa. the other ten will have no snow because base state
