So do I...I just don't get that stereo type of piano players not finding love. I mean that is so far from the truth

I know this is banter but don't really care since there's not much pleasant to talk about... @Ji Guess who one of the first pop star musicians (the kind women fawned over) who drew crowds was? A PIANIST--Franz Liszt. And you can go down the list...that stereotype is just not true. Got two friends that are pianists...Nah three! Two married, and one getting close to be.

You didn't have to go there. I was just sayin' what you said to me but I probably shouldn't have--if that offended I apologize

Go back to the guitar, Ji

But hearing it won't snow doesn't lessen your enthusiasm for weather, despite snow being what got ya interested in the first place?

Man I was about to say the same thing, lol Met habits!

Real question: So, with little payoff so far, and if things are indeed getting worse...then why do you do this hobby? Just for the science or? (I actually wonder about that for others here as well).

That actually makes sense...had been wondering why those have seemingly gone extinct!

Yeah I don't understand that either. How ya got persistent SE ridge issues but yet that can still happen at our latitude? Or that NC can get a foot in 2018?

Oh you seriously moving?

Now it sounds like the hobby is making YOU miserable, lol

Well start a new period after the next 5 years and see where we at

So then...why don't ya just give up the hobby since it's obviously never gonna get better? I mean correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like it's making YOU miserable now, lol

Overall a colder run than 6z

I don't think the "why" part is settled, tbh I mean like he said it could be some of THAT, but it sounds like others things are at play too. While it is indeed the worst period, do we give it longer to see if it's permanent? But trust me, I'm in a better place than I was 5 days ago. I'm just starting to see through the facade that this means more in life that is perpetuated by overexposure to this forum. You get exposed to a perceived negative long enough you start to believe it objectively is and life is worse because of it.

Why do you say the 0z EPS is trending that way? Looked quite similar to 12z to my eyes.

I'd imagine if there's gonna be a cave we see like...in the 2-3 days? For sniffing out the general patter D9-11, is pretty close. Seems the EPS/GEPS think the abnormal nino-like pattern continues but with more cold. Now so far, despite the frustrations with temps...has this pattern really acted like a nina? I mean I don't remember any being this warm on the front end, tbh. And of course what's happening in California, the split flow thing...Any history of another nina that behaved like this one?

SSDD?

I'm trying to understand what happened in 2015-16 though. Why was that different from the other super niños? And let's just say it's the SSTs...how did the switch flip to...whatever that quickly as opposed to gradually?

So are you genuinely perplexed or are you trying not to say what it is?

Ain't good for anybody mental health, lol I am finding that too much exposure makes ya see the lack of snow as a bigger catastrophe in life than it actually is. Disappointing? Absolutely. But in life context? Not as big as it appears...but when you're on here all the time when we're struggling for snow, you'd think the world is literally ending--but it's not quite reality.

So then...what's causing the SE ridge being as strong as modeled? Warm ocean or?

Alright so that's two caniptions over hr 384 today...lol (despite this look being better than 12z I think)

Oh no I wasn't talking about a specific threat. Someone commented on the setup in general and why some like the thump-rain scenarios.

Assuming it happens during the day, lol But ya got a limited time and then...splish splash
