40/70 Benchmark

I'm guessing the that there was nothing interesting on the 12z suite...

Often times that's what happens with Miller Bs.

The cold and dry comment was puzzling...its actually been cold and wet.

Yea, the pattern changed...its just still not ideal.

You read way too much into that. Its seasonal....runs it course every year, and part of the reason why I tune out in the spring. I think I'm being treated pretty fairly. If I bust, some criticism will be warranted.

Sure looks like a change when I peek out my window-

Pretty much. I'm exhausted by it at this point...I just want finality already...either work out, or don't. As frustrating as its been, we are two days into the perferred period and have seen one decent storm for most. Gotta keep perspective.

It was tongue in cheek....I'm just playing the game. Sick of arguing at this point.

For southern CT.

Sucks to live there.

There is colder air around....I had a high of 4 degrees today, and most of us just had a significant snow/ice storm, though I understand why it doesn't seem much different to you. That happens a lot near the cape. I'd call that a change, however you are correct...the pattern is still flawed because there is still no NAO.

Only this winter can we pull off precipitation anomalies that excessively high in January, while having it next to none of it fall as snow despite aggregate monthly departures not having been exotically warm.

I love having you around to keep me in line. lol I was so happy to meet you Saturday, Ken. Glad you made it.

Hi of 4.1 off of a low 1.4 lol Back to 3.0 What an arctic day-

Keep talking....

I'm saving this one.....just like all of the "Brady is done" quotes from October.

I would like to get widespread 10"+ tacked onto seasonal totals before January ends...we do that, and I think pickles is going to need to keep training milf tushies to save up. I think I need 66" for Jerry to win...don't let me get me into February needing 55", of we're doing this-

Of course, we get a system to wipe it all out once a dense pack is established.

I'd rule out a high-end based upon that fact alone....major system possible, sure. I hate systems that bury themselves before coming up. Not only is there more track risk, but it will be occluding off the coast of VA. IF this evolution is correct...

Considering what happened last March and the fact that we are only a day into the more favorable period, I'll pass.

I agree. Nothing wrong with venting, but most of the those should go into the banter thread.

No one is more frustrated than I am...believe me. And the melts are a source of much needed comic relief, but it just can't be all of the time. I used to do the same thing, and it just gets to be too much. Feel free to go drop more in the banter thread, or flame the crap out of me, if that will make you feel better.

1969 was very RNA and was a perfect ENSO match.. we have not seen the NAO yet, but I still think that we will. The aspect of analogs that gets lost on many people is that when you select an analog, its usually not that you expect a replica evolution to the oncoming winter, but rather that there are elements of important value to be elicited from that analog. Thus far, we have seen it with 1969, but I still feel that there is value in 1978 for the balance of the evolution of this season. 1969, as well.

For the love of god, shut up. Just shut up. Who has not acknowledged how frustrating this winter has been? Who hasn't "owned" that? All you do is whine and complain, and dribble on about how miserable the weather is, and how much you hate life....well I'm sorry, go bird box into oncoming traffic, but don't take all of our threads along with you. As far as I'm concerned, the first half of winter underperformed, and we are having a mildly encouraging beginning to the 1/20-2/20 period that I have touted all along. This week is going to suck, but I don't think its white flag time just yet. Take this crap to the banter thread.
