  1. There was also a couple of seasons like that in late 80s, too.
  2. Truth be told, I have learned a great deal from you Chris and have incorportated a lot of your ideology into my seasonal forecasting, but I think you are a bit preoccupied with some of this stuff and it compromises your objectivity.
  3. Why wasn't 1979-1980 snowier? The marine heat waves weren't competing yet back then? That fact that you think its simple is part of the problem......you have your mind made up about questions it takes decades to answer. Its called bias and having agenda.
  4. That difference in ambient heights is absolutely CC.....no doubt.
  5. I know Bluewave will come in here and rip me to shreds with 1,001 charts and graphs, but that's my take.
  6. Ding, ding, ding. This season will be my 7th conecutibve well below average snowfall season.....care to venture a guess at where my mean since 2015 is? 60"....just about normal. Last decade was nuts. I do think that CC is causing a more feast or famine type pattern to snowfall distributuon for us......I will say that. I think its augmenting these pre exisitng cycles.
  7. Just to be clear.....CC is absolutely real. I think it if it continues in abated, it will have to evnetually cause a drastic decrease in snowfall, but I don't think we are as close as some are implying given that a lot of this warmth (not all) is observed nocturnally. I'm not denying CC....I'm arguing is overattributed.
  8. Right.....all that is right now is a radical postulation.
  9. Sometimes the alignment is just off and cold pattern doesn't end up conducive to large NE snowstorms. Look at that mean vortex position this season....look familiar???
  10. That's crap. This is what I can't stand about CC zealots....you can't win. Everything is due to CC....pattern is warm? CC. Its cold, but you missed that big storm? CC. Any guess at which season was my least snowiest on record? Let me help. Climate change?
  11. Maybe that is why the piss ant result isn't impacitng us...I haven't looked at this threat in days....however, the phasing failure is attributable to that shitty ridge out west.
  12. Need to see about next year.....if its an el Nino, I have a hunch its going to be a modest Modoki that will slay for my area and should be decent down there. But I expect the turn of the decade or shortly thereafter to be very favorable, as the Pacific phase shift should be complete and we will be nearing solar min.
  13. Compressed or not, that funky ridge alignment out west needs to piss off....that's why I took one look last week and dismissed Thrusday. Its been there all season.
  14. That's usually the point of the season when Kev gets upset with people for saying that.
  15. At least my ass will heat up faster in the car on sunny days...can't take that away from me, ma nature...you bi1ch.
  16. Even though I expected it, its sickening.......I knew guidance wasn't coming back when the 12z EURO bailed on Saturday. I haven't glanced at a model since.
  17. I'm sure this will still be met with an element of resistance.
  18. I wish I wasn't right about Thursday shitting the bed....this stretch would be getting pretty epic if I tacked on 20" to what I have now. Some of the bankings on the side of my driveway are like 6'.
  19. Yea, take the Mansfield snow stake....turn it sidways, and you know the rest....
  20. Been nothing like that season in New England in terms of snow snowfall.
  21. I think we can put to bed that theory that CC is causing a semi-permanent trough west/ridge east alignment. We'll probably get a decent season before the turn of the decade, which is when we enter a really nice stretch.
  22. Now that its clear this PV isn't going to produce a large storm for us, like the one last month, I wish it could kindly lift north and GTF out never to returnt until next December. Thanks.
  23. Ironically enough, that is probably why it didn't get colder....even though the wind makes it feel colder....
