40/70 Benchmark

Obviously we wouldn't have had 120" of snow, aside from cape cod, MA, but that would have been a memorable event.

Wow, nice....woulda, coulda, shoulda. Sucks.

Second half should be NAO driven, I think...we need to wait for that....IN GENERAL. I know someone like @Ginx snewx will quote this once the daily PAC teleconnections look favorable. Lol

I still have solid coverage, though today will be a test.

Yup.

Second half of December into January was supposed to moderate as far as I'm concerned.. and I remain skeptical of a fast start in January.

The devil on my shoulder has enjoyed the blogging break.

I know you are just telling it like it is...just being a d#ck.

Classic scooter...if a fart manages to elude all nostrils, he'll be sure to make its presence known-

No worries.. I get it now.

Hope I'm wrong, but I feel as though its correct in delaying that.

When Anthony packs it in, its time to flip the calendar.

I'll check at month's end...may have been -1 to -2.

I don't think anyone will ever endeavor to forecast the aggregate sentiment of the snow weenie, nor should they. Lol

Anyway, lets wait to see what you end up with by April 1...

Your account belies reality on a grander scale. I'm willing to bet that have suceeded in registering a negative monthly snowfall anomaly in the face of a surplus of precipitation coupled with a negative temperature departure. Saddle up and enjoy straddling the same cosmic dildo that I did for four months last year. I think I had you at like -2 to -3 departure for the month, which I would wager to say will work out.

I feel like this month has already been a big win for those of us among the cold/snowy December contingent....pretty risky call in a warm ENSO year, but it was the right call and it was ballsy.

I don't see any discrete threat to hitch your wagon to, so to speak.....thus an interval to allocate time and energy elsewhere for me. The reprieve second half of December was expected, but hopefully we get going again earlier in January that I had feared/anticipated. There seems to be some support for that, but I haven't looked that far ahead much since the outlook. I'd like to get going again in order to redeem what has been a pretty futile medium range forecasting effort from me this season, after the hot start with the early season big fish.

9.1 here.

You probably have significantly more 6" events. Its the nature of the climo. They protrude into the ocean..

Depends where you are...back east, 2015 took it to another level.

May be crudely articulated, but very apt description. Haha

And when you manage to run into one during years like last season, it will richochet off of a catwalk and into a glove.

Steve, I promise you that I would have felt the same way had I picked up your 1"....trust me..

Likewise...not that I care. ..
