The only wild card this winter appears to be if we get help from the EPO or PNA. Otherwise it's probably best to temper expectations.

And we have had 'help' in those domains in recent Nina winters. At this juncture I will be optimistic and side with persistence. I don't see any reason to think that won't be the case for at least a portion of the winter. The PDO? fuck it. It hasn't been favorable for years and we have still managed patterns that produced cold and some snow. I mean, fundamentally a -PDO is expected with cold ENSO. Historically that's how it works.
