  1. okay, so let’s just throw every single piece of higher skill guidance out? that’s not how you’re supposed to forecast and the models have not been flip flopping. they are all in agreement on a strong west based -NAO block that is both strengthening and moving forward in time. even Webb has conceded in that regard
  2. i agree with the boom/bust sentiment, and it seems like we’re leaning more boom than bust given the -NAO developing already
  3. this event is already not really acting canonical given its strength. strong to super Ninos often feature strong +NAO patterns… that is likely not the case this month
  4. AK ridging showing up later in the run. great pattern overall
  5. like i’m not sure what most of you want. this is a nearly ideal pattern. way more pros than cons
  6. huh? this is a colder than average pattern with blocking. there’s always going to be Pacific air in a strong Nino
  7. 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
  8. that is a legit -NAO too. notice how the entire N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  9. my lord that is a legit -NAO too… notice how the N Atl is blocked up through Europe
  10. that’s the point. El Niño Decembers that feature a -NAO often end up prolonging that blocking throughout the winter
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. the MJO stuff is similar to when there are the phantom moves into 7/8 during a La Niña. this is another good sign
  17. yeah. we’re just weenies thinking it could be any different i think this is the first big hit at that assertion
  18. 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
  19. 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!
  20. notice how much better the NPAC is compared to last year. god bless +ENSO
