Yes, I want someone to produce an actual analog for other years in the past that have seen those very warm anomalies in the western Aleutians and Greenland at the same time. This is not part of a typical La Nina setup at all with the very heavy amounts of precipitation in California right now either.
Extreme temperature gradient setting up over the northern Plains/Prairie Provinces, and areas to the south over the next 7-10 days. The storm track could produce some accumulating snow in this corridor, so the possibilities for the jet stream to shift southward due to colder realized temperatures over the snow field there is starting to increase.
Anything around and beyond 10 days can be somewhat arbitrary as things can still change between now and then, anyway I hope you get the cold and snow you always dreamt of

Looks like a textbook La Nina to me. Northern and Central California can often see above-average precipitation during moderate La Nina events.
I thought the "textbook" La Nina events are generally at least moderate to strong in intensity? This looks like a weaker event so far, basin wide anomalies are at -0.7C for the Sep/Oct/Nov months.

As a matter of fact, the latest update was just released today! -1.1ºC in the Niño 3.4 domain.
Regardless of whatever La Nina does and regardless of whatever happens in California, major cold on the way for the PNW and BC including the coast. Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, Victoria == icebox.

Interesting info, thanks! I didn't know the ONI covered the 3.4 region by itself.
As the cold sets in up here, another AR will strike California with some biblical snowfall totals. I think this says 100 inches of snow??? Graphic by CW3E Scripps.
