  1. my lord that is a legit -NAO too… notice how the N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  2. that’s the point. El Niño Decembers that feature a -NAO often end up prolonging that blocking throughout the winter
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. yup. one of the bigger things too is how much better the NPAC has looked, so when we do get blocking, it should be infinitely more effective
  8. the MJO stuff is similar to when there are the phantom moves into 7/8 during a La Niña. this is another good sign
  9. yeah. we’re just weenies thinking it could be any different i think this is the first big hit at that assertion
  10. again… it honestly doesn’t really matter THAT much if this produces a big storm. just the fact that anomalous -NAO blocking is showing up is a big sign towards a good winter. the same thing happened in 2002/2009
  11. hi all. figured it’s time to start a December thread given that ensembles are keying in on anomalous west-based -NAO blocking setting up during the first week of the month. we would like to see this signal strengthen over the coming week, but this is a highly conducive pattern. also notice how much better the NPAC and PNA region is compared to last year! god bless +ENSO. hopefully we can start off hot, which would likely set us up for a great winter historically looking at previous +ENSO winters that had blocky Decembers. happy Thanksgiving!
  12. notice how much better the NPAC is compared to last year. god bless +ENSO
  13. THIS is how to run a strong Nino December. -NAO gone wild
  14. nice timeframe here with a WB -NAO and 50/50 ULL in place. can see a S/W working under the flow. as the GoA trough retrogrades a bit, then you get a transient +PNA

  16. perhaps the speculation that this may, indeed, act like a Modoki event due to the WPAC warm pool might not be so ridiculous? we shall see
  17. last year had a great December pattern. roll the dice with that look and you'll cash in 8/10 times... just didn't happen last year, what can you do
  18. the fact that the -NAO is showing up at all is the important part. also, we shouldn't have a strong Nina SE ridge influence like we did last year
  19. but! but! this is obviously acting like a canonical event! there could be a PDII redux in December and he would find a way to spin it
  20. that's a run-over-run trend. these are the actual 500mb anomalies... the western trough is pretty common in Nino Decembers that move into Phase 3
  21. one could make the case that 09-10 was strong as well... that winter topped out at +1.6C in NDJ
  22. yeah, it's not cold enough early (unless the GEPS -EPO is right), but seeing the -NAO and SPV perturbation both showing up over the last few days is highly encouraging it would be leading us on the 2002/2009 type track rather than the 1972/1982/1991/2015 track
