I thought it was just October snow, lol

I think I jumped to the analysis because I fully expect us to fail this time. I can't ignore the every-other super niño trend. 66' yes, 73'--no, 83' yes, 98'--no, 16'--yes, so it feels like this time will be a no. Not scientific, but just trend... As for silver lining? Nah I wasn't trying to intentionally dig for one--remember I'm not optimistic enough for some around here, lol For me it's a matter of how long it'll be before we see significant snow again. I don't doubt things have changed. But I'd love to see what happens when we get into a +PDO regime again and see if it helps. But I'm at the point where I'm slowly expecting things to work less and less. But we'll see...

I mean at least if this one doesn't produce there's a known reason (super east based). Does it belong in the same category as the other two? What does bother me is how a switch suddenly flipped in 2016. Yeah I know the snow margins overall were going down in the two decades before...but that period of time still had footers (what I call storms over 12") every 3-4 years, with that heater between 2010-2016. Then after 2016 and it all just stops cold. No slow decline, just outright stops...I thought climo change was supposed to be gradual? Lol That's what makes me wonder if the super niño back then accelerated things, or made the atmosphereor can this one "reset" things once again? But if the next niño after this one behaves the same way the previous two did then yeah we might be cooked, smh

Yeah while the OL you can clearly identify the talent gaps, I do not understand this defense. Like you said...we have them on paper (minus a star pass rushee we've been missing since Suggs), but there is just something up. I mean they are talented yet missing that "dawg" in key moments! I don't know whether it's a mindset thing left over from the Harbaugh era that needs to be scrubbed out...or something else. I hope it's the former and we can see that kind of culture return again. It's just strange, man.

I am placing the OL problems squarely on EDC. He's not a bad GM, but he's TERRIBLE with the trenches, smh

In case anybody thinks I'm being too much of doomer about having to wait at least three years if this nino doesn't deliver a big snow: With the assumption that the ninas double dip...it's either this year or 29-30 for the next chance:

Next June? Dang does that usually happen? Thought there was mention of a rebound nina

Is there one fanbase for a Maryland team that hasn't needed somebody fired over the last year? I mean this is insane, lol

Definitely seems to be a different kind of toxicity on the Mets. Our issues are analytics and fundamentals...problems that can be fixed in the next year or two (hopefully). We shall see...

Why does it sound like you wish he wasn't playing for us? Lol I mean, bruh...he could be the X-factor that may get us over the playoff hump even if Elias stays. It is difficult not impossible. And...Alonso has 4 years at least--if we keep losing Elias won't last that long. Right now...Alonso is the best thing to happen to this team in years, and obviously is all in, and wants to be here and do all he can to lead this team (and does NOT want to be traded!) We'll see how it plays out after next year...barring a miracle since it appears Elias is staying. And who knows what change he may be able to influence/push for? Ya never know...

If this were winter it would be painful. Nina-like miss--gets going too late, smh And we need the rain more down here than they do

I don't know...Last year certainly felt more nina to me with the way that late Feb blizzard tracked, and all the NS interference that resulted in the historic sleet bomb. But hey that's just my layman opinion...

That's So Nina

Not necessarily...we had neutral after 2016 were neutralish in 16-17, nina 17-18, but then niño (albeit very weak) in 18-19

Yeah but think about it: If that happens we will have what we haven't had in 11 years: 1-2 feet of snow! You realize that, given the two ninas forthcoming after this winter, we have zero chance of seeing that until 2029-30 at the earliest, right? Yeah I would take one big snow in a millisecond!
