40/70 Benchmark

If I get a March 2018 block to follow, then sign me up-

So 2020s is a new low so far...

Okay, that is what threw me off...I saw hot it compared to the 90s, which I perceive as a good decade.

That was one my one great event...I had 16", but my mom in Wilmington had like 20".

My 4 yr old and now 11 month old have it.

Jesus... Man, you guys did fine in the 80s.

I was still about 10" below average that year....that is the season that saw a slew of SOP deals pork me, but def. the "best" since 2018.

I saw a Roundy tweet and was like "this can go one of two ways"....either you shared, or snowman....I saw you and was like, "Thank God". Yea, mid January is a time of great flux that I am focused on....expect big +PNA/TNH to lead into the big Feb SSW.

Absolutely, let's hope we get something to focus on other than visions of snowless winters dancing in our heads.

Yup...strong "suck" signal in terms of snowfall. We have two weeks to do something about it before I become convinced of an 8th consecutive dud.

My most eventful weather was a 7.5" snowfall in February.

I am talking about the seasonal total after the seasonal tally at the end of December is in single digits.

No, the end of December. This is for my area....tri state as done okay.

Excerpt from my latest blog: While the forecast for the balance of 2025 would appear rather unchallenging, things are seldom as they appear in weather. In this particular instance, the caveat is an MJO wave that is expected to remain rather meager and variable after having largely dissipated over the course of the past week following its brief flirtation with phase 8 near the outset of the month. Note the tendency for the MJO to stagnate and become incoherent enough in phase 8 as to actually be reflected as having reemerged into the MC phases as byproduct of the continued warmth in the western Pacific that was referenced last fall. The consistent struggle for the MJO to remain a coherent wave in the western Pacific has been a theme over the course of the past decade that any seasoned forecaster should not have neglected to consider. The disjointed signal that results from the continuation of the battle for proxy between the MC and western Pacific will allow for an occasional element of western Pacific expression to assert itself into the pattern as a byproduct of the areas of dual forcing. This will be especially prevalent during the final week of the month, which is when some potentially colder intrusions may periodically infiltrate the northeastern quarter of the country

You can analyze the pattern all you want.....and debate, but what can't be argued is that it needs to snow, and snow significantly soon or else a good season quickly becomes exceedingly unlikely.
