But the issue is ridges are becoming more significantly anomalous. So you won't see as many crazy anomalies in the past because they didn't exist as much. We are seeing more and more positive anomalies now...which yea makes it harder to overcome a hostile pacific...which is why we aren't snowing as much!

The CPC balances and evens it all out, so negative is just as probable as positive. Side note, but they are really moving toward RONI for ENSO monitoring: Climate Prediction Center - CPC adopts Relative Oceanic Niño Index (RONI) for reliable, responsive monitoring and tracking of ENSO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago CPC isn't perfect too.. this pattern last Winter was called +PNA.

NAO had to be adjusted a lot when a block in the western NAO domain was cancelled out by heights in the eastern NAO domain which isn't relevant to our pattern as much. It would erroneously show up as a neutral or positive NAO when in fact there was an NAO block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Ok.. yeah unfortunately going through and making custom indexes probably yields the greatest correlation value. That's what I did for the Stratosphere and AO/NAO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there was as many AI snow maps posted as there was discussions about the PNA, MJO, NAO, PDO, AO and AMO. I would rather hear about the SWEAT index at this point.
