2025-2026 ENSO

[bluewave]

22-23 was a little lower for snowfall around NYC than 01-02. But 01-02 remains a little warmer. If the 01-02 snowfall and temperature departures occurred again in this much warmer climate, then NYC would probably finish up with only around 1” or less of snow and a winter average temperature close to 43.0°.

^Man what a horrible SSTA map, lol

Best thing is northern Indian Ocean isn't that warm.

As bad as 97-98 and 11-12 were, I think the worst of all time was 01-02. If there was ever a winter that was over before it even began, that was the one. Not only was it an absolute torch from November through March, it was also dry as all hell

But not in Atlanta, where they had a ~4.5” (major) snowstorm in early Jan, the biggest since the 3/1993 blizzard.

The 20 most recent warm minus cold CONUS Winter's.. 1993-2025. This is SSTA's Sept-Nov before. east-based El Nino hugging the American coast is the biggest signal

July before.. +2c off of Peru there is really strong for most recent 20 years/33.

^Switching to more El Nino's in the coming time may not mean colder US Winter's.  I've always contended that La Nina is the colder pattern anyway if you take the static of NAO out of the equation.
