And my three post about Greta we’re “not on topic”
It was because of how you phrased your post that I deleted it.

The ECMWF is usually more realistic than the GFS and especially the GEM.
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

Models are overdoing pattern changes and cold troughs big time. Anything showing any pattern change should be taken with a grain of salt.

500mb ECMWF has been steady in showing patterns but finer details are making a big difference.

The overall global pattern is "stuck." I keep saying we need a big +ENSO event to bring change. Maybe 2020/21?

A year or so ago I figured this was going to be our year for a stronger El Niño. Clearly that didn’t happen. But why would a big +ENSO event be more beneficial to bring change than would a strong -ENSO event.

all indications are looking at a weak La Nina or a cool neutral for next year. It's odd with such a deep solar minimum:

Hill event only is my guess... though it would be a nice surprise if we could all score something.
