2025-2026 Winter Speculation Thread

My opinion at this point is we have a lot of uncertainty still remaining and obviously all yall pros on here know that. 

The above maps looks good but at this point im very skeptical.  The PDO just hit a 170 year old record at -4 but what does that say about the pac? Will that go back up? 

I think we have a lot of volatility on the board also and a lot of unknowns with the global climate and weather pattern. 

I do agree that a more neutral ENSO is best for us and our general areas. Too much blocking is bad, and not enough blocking is bad and depending on thread the needle situations are always either great or heartbreaking.  I have seen that the global temperature from last year to this year has cooled significantly in the big scheme of things. So that has to be a good sign right? 

I'm definitely looking forward to this winter and seeing how it plays out. I know already the first of August has been an absolute treat. Haven't hit 80 yet at the house. I'm hoping we see a bit of an early start to Fall or at least an early cold blast.
