Too early. Wake me up when September ends :D

That said, it should be noted that the Arctic sea ice minimum this month tied for 2nd lowest in recorded history. The record year 2012 was a real outlier, with a severe Arctic storm that August adding to losses above and beyond, so this is about as good as it gets so far. Anyway, that min is bound to have some effect on things this winter, but of course by itself means nothing without the nearer term snowfall response in Siberia in October, the longer term response (usually in northwestern Siberia) of anomalous surface high pressure in November, and still we must look out for wild cards that same month--recurving typhoons and other factors that could throw a wrench in the works. Locally we don't want October and November to both be warm months...

The whole SAI seems a bit contrived.  If it’s high but there’s loss from pattern in the first few days  of November October goes good?  What if 10/4-11/4 is great but 9/27-10/27 sucks?  To me it’s a bit silly and Judah’s verification has take a beating in some recent years correlating SAI negativity with AO.
