Tommaso, A visit from the Ghost of Forecasts Past, Well, seems like you and the CPC were in error, and God, Joe B and I were correct: weather.com The above map, showing the CPC El Nino lovers forecast as of mid December, could not be further off the mark from what is now obvious!! See current map: weather.com I see you signed up for the Accuweather Pro Beta site, my compliments, things are much better there than the CPC or NWS. In any case, my winter forecast for a cold winter, a cold snowy holiday period and a cold January into February were up there on SDII for God and all to see. Joe B's forecasts were likewise on his site, a little behind mine, but a lot more detailed, which is his right (he gets paid, I do not). As you know by now, if you read Joe B or the few other good long range weather commentators, or perchance understood teleconnections and global weather maps, the cold air you were (not) looking for 10 days ago was coming from Russia with loving frostbite, before it sneaked across the northland to us. BTW, I noted that Joe B was a bit proactively defensive on the 12th, noting the potential of some traders pounding on him about losing their houses due to the weather and their [Edit: trading] not going exactly the way they wanted it. Gee, I hope such scapegoat seeking behavior would not come from anyone I read on SI! In any case, I hope that all the skiers, snow patrols, Natural Gas traders and other folks who like winter enjoy the cold weather, because that is what they are getting. The others can wait for summer. Roebear
