  1. like i’m not sure what most of you want. this is a nearly ideal pattern. way more pros than cons
  2. huh? this is a colder than average pattern with blocking. there’s always going to be Pacific air in a strong Nino
  3. 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
  4. that is a legit -NAO too. notice how the entire N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  5. my lord that is a legit -NAO too… notice how the N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  6. that’s the point. El Niño Decembers that feature a -NAO often end up prolonging that blocking throughout the winter
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. the MJO stuff is similar to when there are the phantom moves into 7/8 during a La Niña. this is another good sign
  13. yeah. we’re just weenies thinking it could be any different i think this is the first big hit at that assertion
  14. 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
  15. 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!
  16. notice how much better the NPAC is compared to last year. god bless +ENSO
  17. THIS is how to run a strong Nino December. -NAO gone wild
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
