EL Nino a bust for the Southwest US

Why I think the El Nino this year may end up being a bust for the SW USA and Great for Skiers in the NE USA.
 
 
Okay, I said earlier in the year that this could be a big El Nino year, but I have been watching the patterns very closely over the past fall months, and unless the high pressure ridge parked off the Baja Pensula moves or break downs soon, the El Nino could be a bust for the SW USA.   At least as long as it stays there I would say the Eastern Seaboard could get several strong Northeasters this year.
 
It won't be real cold, but the storms that form on the East will have a lot to blow up with as they do get some Artic Air to entrain into them.
 
For a true wet pattern in the West we need higher pressures to build over Canada and lower overall pressures over the Southern Tier States.  It just ain't happening:
 
 
Above normal high anomolies have been seen from the SW to the Midwest.  And lower anomolies have been over the NW and Canada.  This pattern has been this way since basically the beginning of October with a few shifts here and there.   Also, with the strong vortext SE of Greenland this will not allow the ridge to move.  We need a strong ridge over Greenland to allow the lower anomolies to form over the west and southwest.
 
Time will only tell, but I do not see a real pattern shift for awhile.  The CPC is predicting above normal precip over the SW and TX area, but I not totally buying into that yet.  It may not happen until Late Jan, Feb, or March for us.

Some cool games

Cooliest Games!
 
 
Here is a list of some of the coolest games I have played recently and their strengths:
 
1.)  Anno 1701 - This is a combination of Ages of Empires 3, Civilization 4, and Sim City...Just got and give it a 4 1/2 out 5.
 
2.)  Ages of Empires 3 and War Chiefs - RTS war game in the early settlers time period...Very great graphics a few bugs  3 1/2 out 5.
 
3.)  Flight Simulator X - FLight Simulator very cool effects and graphics with better flight dynamics - 3 1/2 out 5.
 
4.)  Star Wars Empire at War - RTS game with "The Force" added.  Cool to fight both in space and on the ground, graphics could be better and so could the development of planets.  3 out of 5
 
5.)  Battle for Middle Earth I - RTS and very well done graphically, but development of camps get a little old over time.  Scenarios are best bet to play in.  2 3/4 out of 5.
 
More to come later.
