Don't want the brutal cold and CF pinned to ACK...give me marginal with frigid SSTs.

That is hard to repeat. I’d role the dice with 2001 again.

March 2001 is a holy grail month here.

I'm going to take a big interest in that pretty quickly if it keeps that up and other guidance follows suit...has my attention. I love, love , LOVE the fact that we poised to head into a strong east QBO/cool ENSO finish with potential strat implications and SSTs about as cold as can be.

This is alot different sounding than what a certain MET was sounding like earlier.  I guess two different ideas. Very interesting.

Another picture my son took on his ride today.

Phase 6-7

Look like east-based to perhaps hybrid regime.

From east to west...

Pushing into 8 too. That’s a better visual.

Eh...really skirting 8..was centered 6-7...but MJO wasn't much of a factor IMO.

Crazily enough, that month left some on the table too.

I agree, just meant it helped more vs destructive interference.

Yea, I mean its bette than a pure Modoki type composite, which is nowhere near 8.

Most great months do.

Funny, 2000-2001 actually had very hostile forcing...it's in the Modoki composite, but it's not a huge deal since it was weak and had the huge east QBO/Solar max attributed blocky polar domain.
