Even though this winter looks mild , im looking forward to the active STJ.

Yeah could be feast or famine. Hopefully a couple of big boys.  Could have like a +4 month but if you somehow sneak in a MECS or HECS it feels pretty good.

Yeah that winter was a pretty bad ratter.  Hopefully not as bad this winter,  although with the projected strength of the Nino it's hard to be overly optimistic about things. 

Yeah I got a feeling this past winter was a Unicorn . Hope it's not too bad for severe n the deep south

I do think we have changed to a better north Pacific pattern.....seem to have flipped from predominately +WPO for many years to more negative the past couple.

If this sticks, which I feel like it may, we probably pull of a serviceable snowfall season next year....albeit mild.

It's hard to assess without Daily Climate Composites page, but right now it looks pretty negative.

July 15 is 50% of the way through, and I would say it's about ~-0.4 for DJFM NAO predictor.

I've come up with 6 Solar analogs and 5/6 averaged positive NAO in the seasonal mean (one was very slightly negative), 3/6 had at least one month between DJFM that averaged -NAO and it looks as though the strongest signal is March.

My money is on Chuck's formula shifting more positive from here on out, but I don't expect it to be an overwhelming signal, like last year.

I'll have a blog update within the next few days, followed by an ENSO update next week.

Large population center explains why...

How many times have those same people called for a snowy winter for Iowa??? Lol
