On the other hand, a cool phase of the PDO contains warm temperature anomalies spread across the North Pacific, as well as a cool Gulf of Alaska coast. Additionally, cool temperature anomalies are found in the ENSO monitoring area, showing a correlation between a negative PDO and La Nina.
A positive PDO typically brings about a warm and dry spell in the Northwest, which indicates a ridge of high pressure is in the area. Additionally, cool and wet conditions are found in the Southeast, showing that many disturbances move through the area during the October - March period.

Dear Andrew,
I love this blog of yours. I think it is a great way for me to see what is going on in the weather world. I just have two suggestions, which in my mind would make this blog go the distance:
1. A profile page. It seems that all that we know you as is "Andrew". It would be nice if you had a profile page with stuff such as age, what you do for a living, things you do for fun, etc. That would allow us to connect more with you, the author. Secondly, I think it would be cool if the blog had its own email address, such as TheWeatherCentre@aol.com. That way we could ask you questions in private via email, without having to have it shown publicly on the comments. Thanks for reading this!
will Charlotte n.c. see any cold/snow this year?
Randy: Those are great ideas, and I may be able to try them out in the not-so-distant future. Thanks!
Anonymous: Definitely better snow/cold chances this year compared to last year.
