  1. I'm not saying we will see the snowfall March 2018 did, but I think it will be better than last year. March 2023 with a bit tamer RNA would nail most of SNE.
  2. I think March will be more favorable than last year...I also think the cool ENSO event will be more east-based...last year was a Modoki. But that end of season PV disruption should be earlier than it was last year, more along the lines of 2023 and 2018.
  3. My guts says you are right, but it will still be pretty destructive....I think there will be some heavy hitting home brews.
  4. Yea, I mentioned that in my update last weekend.
  5. Complete agreement...only matters for verification purposes.
  6. That was before Understood mid level banding well...I remember I kept waiting for that band that came up from the tri state and was over the Berkshires to slide east, but of course it never did. I had about 16".
  7. Like it was yesterday....I was in the Marines and flew home just to be there for PD II and I got caught in a subsidence hole. I almost swallowed my rifle I was so despondent lol 2'+ all around me and I had like a foot. The the same thing happened again 10 months later in December....so 2003 can Eff right off from a mesoscale standpoint, although I know it was favorable from a larger, synoptic scale perspective.
  8. In this new, warmer climate, I don't see how we have a winter like 2002-2003 again unless all of our houses float away in a pool of molten lava. JK Chris....I do agree that the ship has sailed on that magnitude of sustained cold at this point.
  9. I doubt it will hit official, but we'll see...doesn't matter, as we've discussed.
  10. On a scale of 1-10, with one being on the cape in a soueaster and 10 being north of Tolland in a SWFE, how safe do you feel??
  11. At least by that point, bums aren't quite as toasty in car seats...
  12. So sorry for your loss. My condolences. This forum has been in invaluable outlet for many of us through some very difficult times, myself included. May he RIP.
  13. Heh....closest I have been to normal since 2017-2018 is about 10" shy in 2020-2021. I haven't been sniffing normal. Its always either north of south of me.
  14. The truth is in the middle....some degree of this is natural variation and cycling, but its undoubtedly amplified and potentially altered by CC.
  15. Yea, all we can do is speculate for now...but I won't be suprised if it doesn't even take that.
  16. My stance on the AMO is similar to that of the PDO....If we get well into next decade with no change, then we'll truly know. I know many folks may think that they know now, but they don't.
  17. I know most speak of "tipping" points with respect to when the current climo succumbs to CC, but I also wonder if there is a "tipping point" for when the earth's natural balancing mechanisms/cycles trigger a push back against said influences of CC....ie, maybe ultimately a flip to -AMO and +PDO is realized.
  18. 2047...I actually expected a sooner date....I think Bluewave's model had yesterday.
  19. Yea, I'm talking on a seasonal level...brief periods are easily negated by other factors...whether it be a fast jet and/or poorly positioned ridges, etc....when the vast majority of the season is +WPO it loads the dice towards failure for eastern winter enthusiasts. I agree RE the cause of the +WPO tendency.
  20. Yes, agreed. Obviously the general warming is what it is, but I still feel like we will evetually see more variation to the WPO. I know we have talked about that and if it hasn't varied at all a few years into next dedade, then I'll need to reconsider that.
