Either that or the Euro blew it's own mind (and circuits) with how awesome it was gonna be

FYI

Ya know, it's not even just a hobby at this point. Like I got into this thing for the answer to one question: "Is it gonna snow?" Googling and such led me here. So it's more of a wanting to know. It's just...the absence of snow during these months leaves some kind of void for whatever reason.

That's actually not all the way true. Now remember, prior to 2016 I had only been on here a couple years (around Jan or Feb 2014 is when I started). I was still snow-obsessed but not unhappy overall. 2011-12 and 12-13 sucked, yes...but then we came around. To a favorable period again. Much of my accumulated angst has come from the 7 year period of struggle. This 7 years was not the climo I grew up with. Of course working memore goes back to 96...but we had 00, 03, then 06, 10...But never this long in between even decent snows has never happened in my brief years. I mean we ain't been able to get NOTHIN' to even KIND OF work lately! This is worse than I remember from 1996-2016. In terms of moving...well it's not actually possible for me at this juncture even if I really, REALLY wanted to (and I don't for non-snow related reasons) Things more important than snow So that leaves treating the symptom (lessening the unhealthy attachment to snow)

I do hope better days are ahead for your Commanders once the Snyder reign of terror comes to an end!

Ya know I am more at peace when I'm not thinking about it. I just don't know how to not think about it, lol Late March-Nov it's never an issue because snow is absolutely not possible. But DJF? Man...snow is what makes those months worth it (particularly Jan and Feb--Dec has Christmas so that's always the high point) And when the snow ain't there...even when not looking at models, all ya gotta do is step outside, see a weather forecast on TV and you're reminded. Miserable looking LR, yes...but you just lookin' for relief from the present misery. But the cycle ain't healthy--you right. Someone called it a neurosis...I'm starting to think they may be right. ..........I probably shouldn't be saying all this here, but...at least I'm keeping it out the main thread

Yeah and like Terpeast said the GEFS haven't changed that much...obviously we gotta wait and see if it continues to hold for that period, but at least that's been a bit more steady.

You may not understand our psychology...lol The now is so miserable ya just look for anything, any signal for things to change. I mean...what else do you do?

Stop what, exactly? I'm just responding to what I'm reading here. There's been discussion here about the possibility of the SER (which seems to mean more difficult snow chances) being a permanent feature so like...what's the problem? This ain't the main thread, anyway...

I worry about this being permanent and every single winter from now one looking like thus regardless of enso state. I mean what's preventing a long string of 1 inch winters? When's the last time we DIDN'T have a SER? Smh

I believe that was year before last...but yeah that, lol (I really didn't understand how that happened...I think it was an unlucky position of a PV split)

Ohhh the pattern wants to change...the cold is now closer than it's been all winter. So it wants to change...but will the SER let it? Or I guess the bigger question is can the cold overpower the defending champion SER? Match starts this week...ding ding!

SER--Public Snow Enemy No.1!!!

Can't parse any details on an op run in fantasy range. We know this, and yet...lol But seriously...all you can look for is a general idea of where the pattern could be headed.

Snowzilla 2016 even the tracking was so much fun...like all the models said it from Day 7 and literally never wavered! Probably the easiest bug snow forecast in Mid-Atlantic history, lol

Now paging the every 6-7 year rule for big ones #WDI?

What's his issue this season, anyway? He's usually so knowledgeable but it's being clouded by a regular dose of trolling so ya don't know if he's a bit biased or not.

Ha Was thinking the same...If that's the fantasy range cold we're starting at...you'd think that could be a signal for I don't know...not 33 degrees or higher? And now we wait to see if the general idea holds...

Longest modeled since the great 60-hour fantasy blizzard of Dec 2018...lol

Our area is crazy enough to do it in one storm even...Now folks complained about 2016 being one and done, but I think anybody would take something even in the ballpark of that now, lol

Particularly with how active the STJ has been lately (btw this is an actual STJ, right?)

Lol You from there?

Ah yes...can't remember their names but I have heard of them. But they came from the old Browns, right?

Never in our 28-year history have we had more than 1 (2 if you count Torrey with Boldin)...so I'll be happy with one + a healthy Bateman!
