Re: the answer and two questions

Bugsy,

analog (n) similar or comparable in certain respects. An analog year is one where certain or several aspects of the season fit the current one. (ie, was there a strong el nino, when did the first storm form, what were the ssts, etc.). There are no true analogs, as each season will behave differently than others before it, but they may produce similar results.
