Eurasian snowcover build-up is decent on the 00z EPS. Could help expedite the development of the Siberian high and seasonal decay of residual monsoonal forcing. No cold whatsoever on our side of the globe yet, though.

Haven't checked the EPS too often lately... but it still looks generally quiet in terms of active weather.

You forgot 2022, 2008, and 1988. And others I’m probably forgetting. There is no relationship. It cannot physically exist! The structure of tropical-extratropical teleconnections changes massively (even spatially inverts in some cases) from October to DJF. In October, *phase-8* MJO/RMM is statistically the coolest/wettest in the PNW. In January, it is the driest/ridgiest. Vice-versa for RMM phases 4/5. There is no spatial similarity to the extratropical responses to tropical forcing over the lower-48 between autumn and winter.

@Anti Marine Layer since you brought up BLM without acknowledging its popularity has faded away. Also not sure if you noticed but it's been years since we heard about NFL players kneeling. It was a passing fad.

Got it... that actually makes sense.
