  1. I have mixed feelings on this year, but given the propensity for the main tropical forcing to be centered far west of Ninos of this type along with the -QBO in place, we should see some good spells of blocking given the strong +ENSO, the favored SE trough instead of SE ridge will make blocking far more effective than it was last winter I would definitely be more optimistic than pessimistic down by you guys. STJ will be rocking, and Ninos this strong are always good for a nuke or two in the winter
  2. isn't it averaged for the month, though? so August would be at like 1.35-1.4, no?
  3. is this what people felt about 02-03 in the wake of 01-02?
  4. I would say 140-150W… that’s where canonical forcing usually sets up
  5. it's not stated in the paper: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2013JD021343 here's a temperature composite they devised for all of the solar phases... ascending towards a max is quite favorable
  6. I don't entirely disagree, but super Nino = warm doesn't seem to be the right way to go based on the factors presented thus far. this isn't behaving like a typical one and I don't expect it to come winter also, there is a decent shot that we could see the two halves of the winter vary wildly... look at 14-15, for example. I could see a +5 December and -2 February with above average precip. either way, the way your point is being framed is just too reductive. you also said "in the east," just New England
  7. I mean, ascending solar activity, especially near the max seems to favor a -NAO more than not. not a perfect correlation, but still favors it
  8. pretty much two years at this point as well. the SPV is on the weaker end of normal, if anything. then, normal variability afterwards
  9. the ascending solar activity approaching a max, -QBO, and general strong Nino forcing pretty solidly favor HL blocking this winter. the projected western lean to the forcing bolsters that even more so not exactly worried about a lack of blocking this winter
  10. yup, last year shows why it’s such a great tool. it’ll play a part this year as well
  11. i’ve heard everyone was like this after 01-02, then we got 02-03
  12. the forcing likely has a western lean to it given the pull of the WPAC warm pool. the MEI is also a good bit lower than the ONI, suggesting that some of the punch is taken out of it due to the WPAC. modeling seems to be suggesting both of these outcomes, which is encouraging
  13. looks like this is becoming a basin-wide Nino as the models have projected. all seems to be on track there
  14. that wasn’t an attack whatsoever. i am skeptical about the climate models, but I believe that the evidence is mounting for a good end to the winter after a slow start I can see everyone getting pretty much blanked through Jan 10-20, then the floodgates may open. we shall see
  15. imagine if almost all modeling looked like garbage like last winter and you had people like “well maybe all the models are just wrong and we’ll have really favorable forcing!” they’d be shit on and rightfully so. not sure why it’s ok the other way around
  16. also, you can give the climate models grief, but they usually get the general flavor of the winter right. it would be a complete modeling failure for them to totally bomb it
  17. this is a silly post. there are reasons for it to lean to the west that have been discussed ad nauseum your point is just “well the models could all be totally wrong because i said so” which doesn’t hold that much water
  18. December has a good chance of being legitimately awful IMO
  19. i don’t know. sure, if the WPAC was cooler than normal and the forcing was at a normal spot, but I would be resigned to the torch train however, those two major factors are wholly different. not sure how we can apply “classic” analogs and ENSO states when things are anything but classic
  20. yeah, the models looked like dog shit all summer for last winter. what about this Nino is going to be east based going into the winter? models have the forcing far west… it already is now. the SSTs are also going to become basin wide. what about that screams east based?
  21. you’re being a bit reductive there’s nuance with all of this stuff
  22. +4 Dec, near normal Jan and -2 Feb with blocking and a potent STJ paired with split flow would absolutely work though
