I see the freezing line held longer than expected even here in the city last night, lol

Every vertical foot eh? Alright so let's say there's a specific elevation that's the threshold between sticking and not sticking. If you were to put two steps made of the exact same concrete a foot apart vertically...would the snow stick on one and not the other?

Man the Euro weeklies beyond 2 weeks have been deeply unserious all winter--they've been hawking the warmups all winter only and then bail out everytime, lol

Been a really nice snow TV afternoon here! Bonfide grass and car topper

All winter they have been hawking warm just to bail out later. They have been deeply unserious this winter, lol

You sat there with a drunk in your hand?

Hey @stormtracker could we fix the pinning in this sub? The last El Niño from like 3 winters ago is somehow still pinned, lol

Ohhh yes. Gotta believe that would give us our best chance to break the mecs/hecs deought. If I believed in the CANSIPS predictions more I'd be stoked! But it feels like a weenie model to me when it’s used for so far in advance...but someone can certainly correct me on that.

But that's the problem with Ninas: We need TOO MUCH luck. More luck than in other enso states (although I know statistically the last couple of neutrals have been even worse snow-wise). There's just way too much flying around in the NS all the time. Like every nina it's "Oh we need wave 1 to do this or wave 2 won't work." Or "This NS piece interfered and phased too early..or too late" all timing stuff that has dominated discussions every nina the last 10 years (and I'll bet decades before, lol). Too. Little. Space. And I'm slightly annoyed when I say "Nina so don't expect much" and somebody chimes in acting like I'm off. Like you can point out examples of "Well just got unlucky" but getting more unlucky than others ensos is what happens with every single nina not named 95-96 or Feb 2006. So all nina complaints have no business being criticized (except during specific storm threads of course) given that it remains our worst state even with the other elephant issues. That map bncho just posted...you only seem that kind of snow gap with stuff north and south during ninas. Expect less than usual with those...

I dissent I think the tempo fits just fine! In fact, a case could be made that this tempo makes the eventual POP! more effective because it's more of a walking tempo (the GIF about 97 bpm...so Andante) That is just slow enough to kinda lull ya before surprise--just like the famous movement from Haydn's "Surprise" symphony (which incidentally also goes well with this, haha) That tempo is an Andante as well which makes the surprise even better. Do it too fast and the POP loses it's distinctiveness. So...walk don't run before the POP! That's my musical case for why that tempo works and I daresay is even better!

Good ear sir

Slow, late...seems about the same result-wise, lol How many times have we said "Ah if this done this 6 hours sooner..."

One theme of this winter is things being too slow...hard to bet on faster timing

Not THAT much that's almost for certain, lol

Understood! Still found it funny though, lol But I get it
