40/70 Benchmark

Enjoy phase 8...the gift that keeps on giving.

I've always felt the window for big dogs would be late.

Extend that north...I took another dong in the rear, too.

This is what I meant. I expected a normal to slightly above normal snowfall season with a pretty active December. If we make to mid month with hardly anything in the bank of imminent, then we will need a big fish at some point.

He'll respond "Thanks, friends".

I'd be passing gas the whole time, so no one would eat me...like a skunk that sprays when intimidated....

I may send Kevin a Christmas card with this image on the front.

I was operating from my own conceptualization of how I expected the month to go, but yea....you probably extend it realistically speaking, but I can tell you no one wants to be a mid month with nothing on the ground or imminent.

Yes, and I have also grown more open to the idea some of the increased tendency towards a cool ENSO paradigm and associated MC forcing may be related to CC, but what I do know is that our current snow deficit is not 100% attributable to GW/CC.

Yea, not denying GW....but there are other factors independent of the warming that are conspiring against us.

I don't think it's 100% due to CC...just leave it at that.

I would have been blacked out the whole time.

Snowcover isn't declining as quickly as that implies. The past decade has been an awful stretch in general.....look at a snowcover graph from 1988-1992 and it's probably just about as bad.

If mother nature gives is a reason, I am more than happy to slap something together on short notice.
