ENSO Blog: “How does El Niño influence winter precipitation over the United States?” December 5, 2023

You can read this post on the ENSO Blog HERE but you might find it convenient to read it here.

It is a great article and very worthwhile reading.

I have not added any comments to it in the body of this article. Any comments I have are here in the lede.

A. I question some of the graphics. re the La Nina part of the graphic since -1 is not stronger than -2

B. I was shocked at how poor the performance of the models is.  I think how much of a coat our animals grow may be a better predictor.

It is an excellent article, you should read it.

Perhaps I should publish my analysis tool which I used to do. But I would have to update it and that is a lot like work. I think I have the information to do the analysis now
