2025-2026 ENSO

[PhiEaglesfan712]

For PHL, last 6-inch snowstorm was Jan 28-29, 2022. Last 8-inch snowstorm was Jan 22-23, 2016. The 2016 one was probably the last real KU for our area.

And many on you tube and elsewhere are calling for a cold E US winter? Does that jibe with the warmest N Pacific on record?

Yes it does.

I prefer to study females, but you do you.

Lol. I didn't notice that. Should or proof read.

The top 5 analog years are all in the last 5 years. How have you done in the last 5 years?

The next two weeks should have a trough in the NE N. Pacific. If people are freaking out about warm SSTAs there, there really shouldn't be a strong, persistent trough developing but the atmosphere comes first and SSTs 2nd. In 2 weeks the warm water in the Gulf of Alaska should cool..

Ha...sentence about proofreading wasn't proofread

+QBO causes the tropical tropopause to stabilize which makes convection focus further off the equator which shifts the pattern more poleward, -QBO would have more active MJO(in general) but more focused on the equator

Yes, that was a big part of HM’s disco on this topic (-QBO/-ENSO resulting in a flat Aleutian ridge and +QBO/-ENSO resulting in a poleward Aleutian high). He actually went into a very detailed disco with a bunch of images in his blog. Shame I can’t find it anymore to share on here

I have been discussing this for a while now. The rapid expansion of the mid-latitude ridging has been altering the way that the higher latitude teleconnections have been occurring relative to the past. We have also been seeing a much faster Pacific Jet with the record mid-latitude SSTs under these expanding ridges.

The current SSTs in the WPAC match several other years that went on to see +WPO winters

Both hotter extremes and colder extremes and drier weather-- I LIKE!!

Are you switching around to my view that we are now headed directly into an -AMO even if it doesn't show it on indices?

Two years in a row with drier summers and falls and lackluster or nonexistent tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic.  I think we might be headed to another dry and coldish winter, just like last winter too.
