El Nino Peaked Near Dec 8th

First and foremost. I said time and time again that the current El Nino began in Mid-April, not August as NOAA and NASA contended throughout the late part of the 2006 hurricane season. The truth finally came out in the Dec 7th report by the CPC.
"Beginning in February 2006 the basin-wide upper ocean heat content increased, and since early April 2006 positive anomalies have been observed "

The best part of this report is the El Nino forecast. Most of the climate models contend that El Nino would peak sometime in Janurary. The reality is, it peaked around December 8th. The current El Nino went from a strong EL Nino to a moderate El Nino as of yesterday when the Eastern US re-set date did not appear as expected and the Central US re-set date(wave) was not present for the current storm. New Orleans is also receiving heavy rain as well as the state of Louisana. This is also because the re-set date(wave) was not present today.
This strong El Nino has re-organized the re-set dates in a good way. The entire US is now on the same reset date, which is a good thing.  It should end the drought across the Plains sometime this spring. |

Yep, right on the money... Remember all the flooding in '07 across the Plains? |
