Second thought / Look close at the gun/ hose coming from that square generator fixture in middle of pic. This was off live cam temp mid 60's?? its spewing snow out

Good ol Pamela Anderson pattern. Never fails during a El Niño. This is actually a good look if it didn’t proceed a torch. Usually a look like this you’d want after a cold shot. Nice split flow, western Canada ridge spike/-NAO/-AO, and developing confluence around SE Canada. but no cold air to speak of. This after a period of -EPO =

A lot of people don't realize that the Scaly Mountain Community is 500 feet higher in elevation than Boone. It doesn't explain making snow in the 60s tho.

Plastic snow
The +PNA prog looks very impressive today on at least the GEFS for at least the 3rd day in a row:
What other Nino first half of Novs had a mainly +PNA that was pretty high?
2014, 2002, 1997, 1987, 1976, 1968, and 1953 but with only 1997 being strong+.
——————————
Looking at only Ninos of +1.4+ (per RONI), there have been 10 others since 1950, but as mentioned only one (1997) had a +PNA dominant first half of Nov like GEFS says 2026 is going to have. GEFS is suggesting ~+1.0 PNA (after adjusting downward for bias) for 11/1-15/2026. How does this compare to the other 10 actual 11/1-15?
2023: -0.1
2015: -0.2
2009: -0.3
1997: +1.2
1991: +0.1
1986: -0.9
1982: -0.3
1972: +0.1
1965: -0.5
1957: 0.0
I wonder if this strong early Nov +PNA in 2026 is largely due to how E based it is being that 1997 was also very E based early.

LOL.
I’m rolling with Marcus. Bump the haters. December to remember.
Looks like a big chiller or some sort of HVAC doing the work.
Yep!Does Marcus always post outlook maps with colored pencils? Old skool.
Screw the Euro I'm taking the Marcus weather model.
