Since the months seem to be all screwy, does this mean we will get an early start to the cane season next year??

Nah ...

For all we know, we'll have an El Nino next year ...

Yeah. No way to tell for sure what will occur next year. It has been an interesting year in the sense that although it has been extremely active and two bad hurricanes have hit the U.S., this has happened mostly without the presence of a strong westward extending Bermuda High.

I was looking at some data, which may not mean a whole lot, but I have noticed that during a couple of years when we had some long trackers which would seem to be more indicative of a stronger ridge of high pressure this didn't seem to occur two years in a row but every other year instead. Examples would be 1926, 1928, 1947, 1949. Obviously not enough consistency to put alot of faith in this, but some of the older data and tracks are interesting. Could 2006 end up being similar to 2004?
Only time will tell. And then of course there is always the chance that an El-Nino could throw everything for a loop if one develops.
Just a few thoughts.
