I don't like how it shows the coldest anomalies will be in March. I just hope the cold doesn't wait until Late February which will be too late for snow lovers in most areas.

On the other hand, slightly below average in January can get it done. Verbatim, CanSIPS and CFS forecast progressively colder anomalies as the 2026-2027 winter progresses. That said, 12/20-01/20 is my favorite time frame for lasting winter precip.

1. This almost sounds like sarcasm from Maue. Otherwise, this sounds like it’s overly dramatic looking for likes/clicks. But I’m not trying to downplay this upcoming extraordinary event either as it’s projected to obliterate the previous on record strongest Nino.
Opinions about Maue here?

2. He originally said this way back in April:

Weather expert fears this year’s ‘mega El Nino’ could rival 1877 record

Meteorologist Ryan Maue says the upcoming 'mega El Niño' could be the strongest since the 1877 event that wiped out 4% of the Earth's population due to heat waves, drought and pestilence

Weather expert fears this year’s ‘mega El Nino’ could rival 1877 record - The Tribune

Scientists are raising concerns about a possible “mega” El Niño event developing in 2026–2027, which could rank among the most powerful in recorded history and potentially rival the devastating 1877–78 El Niño.

From seeing his other Tweets, I do think he trieds to be edgy for engagement farming purposes. Everything is historic, etc.

I’ve often wondered if we had social media back in the day, how they would have reacted or hyped the major historical storms in the past. Like for example, if we got a Blizzard 93 scenario now, how crazy would they hype it considering they hype stuff now that’s no where close?

Niño winters don't seem to be kind to the coastal plains of SC/NC snow wise looking back at history. In the last 20 years Niña winters have given us the big snow numbers owing to the deep cold pools keeping storm tracks just far enough offshore to prevent warm air intrusion.

SAV measurable snow/sleet since 1980:

1985-6: 1.4” Niña
1988-9: 1” Niña
1989-90: 3.6” neutral
1992-3: 0.2” Nino
1995-6: 0.2” Nina
2009-10: 0.9” Nino
2017-8: ~2” Nina (~0.5” sleet)
2024-5: ~3” Nina (mainly sleet!!)
2025-6: 0.5” Nina

So, since 1980:
-~8” during Nina with ~half of this sleet
-3.6” during neutral
-1.1” during Nino
