40/70 Benchmark

28.4 Had a coating of snow earlier this evening...just overcast now.

Yea, just don't allow that to lull you into a false sense of security concerning a warm February and early finish. It's not over...barely started.

I ended up nailing that stretch after the cold-scare. My PNA call for the month is more precarious, though...we'll see. I would have made the same call again given the data at my disposal last fall.

Always something....

I have a dad-bod...but all of my labwork and BP are pristine at 45 years of age. Secret is weight training.

If you do really wan to push the "La Nina is dead" narrative, Feb 2013 maybe a higher end analog that is achievable.....I almost included it in my February list.

Not really...I'd rather that circle shifted about 200 miles west.

I doubt a truly high-end month of February and we'll just leave at that...I don't care to go there again. BTW, @Ginx snewxFeb 2021 is a contender, too....I could see something like that.

Feb 2014 was probably about the best you will get for cool ENSO...2001 in W NE.

I think the epic stretch was more December into early January...February was relatively tame....then March into early April ramped up again. I had 12.3" that February.

Yea, but def. not La Nina.

El Nino.

I slipped a disc day after xmas....dealing with sciatica. Last time I got that was right before Bliz in 22, which piled on and porked me. Analog? As an aside....I notice this one youtube met keeps saying ANALlog....I couldn't help but laugh.

Speedy recovery, bud...you are one tough SOB.

Oh, absolutely...yea. I just think people are bruised, battered and gun-shy.
