Pattern October Thread

Oh my 
SPV killer pattern, very low heights around the Bering sea 
That's impressive
It’s interesting because it can go either way, we destroy the SPV and shuffle the pattern completely, or we get into a pure La Niña influence and get a cold vortex stuck there around AK, willing to go with us changing the pattern, honestly what we’re dealing with right now seems to be a earlier version of the H5 pattern we dealt with last early winter, ridging in Canada/Arctic and little bits of ridging around us, with some cutoffs around us and a constant Bering sea/Aleutian and AK trough, just thought that was a bit interesting
Yeah it's very similar to last year. The -NAO pac ridge signal is there on some of the analogs but it's hard to see how we get there unless something like the 12z op gfs is right and we just start pounding away with -naos now that just cycle along for most of winter.
I find this acceptable

Do we want a destroyed pv this early when in reality our best chances at least in the south and se is mid December on for snow and ice?
Yes. The response nearly took 2 months last winter to down-well
EPS day 10+
hope we don’t get a random CAG to get going lol

"Hotober"? (it was accidentally left off the voting list as it was the second suggestion):
This first half of October would be at or near record warmth for the USA as a whole, especially weighted by population: would be textbook Hotober! And the EPS has been mainly cold biased!!

To be honest for at least most of the Carolinas the low temps are making those warmer 2M temp maps more scary then it is in reality, daytime temps are amazing, but those lows are pretty warm 
What's happening Oct 15/16 lol
@SD
Bump. Is it too late to add "Hotober" to the voting list? It was accidentally left off as it was the 2nd suggestion. There are still a few hours left! Or maybe extend the voting hours?
You'll need a pretty massive campaign to garner enough votes. Be sure not to violate campaign finance laws in the process. Good luck!

Not sure many realize this, but we had a -nao/ao with a +qbo last winter. Was it all contributed to low solar? Now we have a -qbo. Do we have enough low solar to still get that -nao/ao this winter?
Yes!
