  1. take it? i would pay for this three month 500mb mean. absolutely lights out
  2. if they mean significant in the strict statistical sense, then I would imagine that a moderate El Nino would be such. definitely strong... the statement does not imply a super Nino
  3. i'm not sure if anyone that should be taken seriously had a cold, snowy last year. I had December with a chance to be cold and snowy if blocking developed, but we got screwed there. then, perhaps residual cold from December blocking in early Jan before the late Jan-Feb torch. overall warm and less snowy most people went the typical Nina route from the get-go
  4. apparently a super east-based Nino is the most likely scenario? we haven't even passed the spring barrier lmao I'm still leaning moderate to low-end strong until proven otherwise. there's also still enough model variability on placement that anything from east-based to a central leaning basin-wide event is possible. no real way to tell until we get into July-August if I had to bet money on it, I'd say like a +1.3-1.7 basin-wide event
  5. I wouldn't say that. sample size is just too small. if we have these problems in 2030 then yeah maybe
  6. also, 2016 was an abject blowtorch with a +10 December, but it also gave BWI and NYC their biggest snowfalls ever. weird things happen in Ninos when the STJ is juiced
  7. i will take normal 2m temps with a STJ on roids and that blocky 500mb pattern also getting a seasonal to show below normal temps when using the 1981-2010 climo is a feat already. i'm just excited we're getting a shakeup with the Nino
  8. this is just as plausible, so I'll ride this into the sunset for now
  9. isn't strong 1.5-2C, very strong 2-2.5C, and super 2.5+C? the mean is advertising a strong Nino, not super i hate twitter lmao
  10. if we get a strong Nino next winter, the persistent trough over the Southeast will cool those anomalies down. those SSTs are largely a result of 5 Ninas in 7 years also the warm Gulf will help break snowfall records at some point. it's a give and take. repeat 2016 now and BWI gets 36"
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. strong is fine. 2002-03 and 2009-10 were borderline strong. super is bad
  14. interesting and real, but indeed depressing
  15. winter is over forever. might as well close up shop. base state and all
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. I'm cool with that. anything with a chance at a 3 footer is fine by my book with an STJ that strong
  21. 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
