  1. I can't wait to not play the model game this winter, lol Y'all can have that! (Of course I say that now, but I'll probably end up peeking, lol)
  2. The 50s in general were lackluster for snow in general until ya got to 58'...Not sure why! (I'll take one guess that there were probably more ninas that decade, lol)
  3. Oh! Okay my bad--didn't know that. What's the connection, btw?
  4. Did you guys mean to post these in the hurricane thread?
  5. Sure has felt like it...lol Missing the big cell a few weeks ago was a real kick in the stones
  6. Shoot a summer drought in exchange for a big snow winter? Sign me up
  7. So legit question: What is the difference between the 4 ninas we've had the last 6 years? Now, to a laymen, you look at what happened with snowfall those years and it looks very, very similar. So like...I don't know much about teleconmections, but just a simple look at the totals and how we got there...and how we missed, it looks the same to me. But not so?
  8. That's easy for you to do since most years you'll cash in one way or another. How would you feel if you had a nearly 7 year stretch never measuring any single snowfall more than a few inches?
  9. You know my posts well Btw I feel completely justified in making whatever lament I do on here...the unfairness that's happened in my yard the last 7 years warrants it, and there's absolutely nowhere else to put the angst but here...but don't worry I think it'll all be wrung out by winter, lol
  10. Dang really? Now in your region what does a rough patch look like? Lol
  11. Kinda mediocre in my yard. 10-11 inches. Nice scenery snow, however...and I do value that a bit more than I used to.
  12. Agree. See, Ninas can do median (and sometimes average) in terms of total snowfall. But they just do it in a paltry nickel and dime kind of way with 1-2 inches. But yeah...already looking ahead to 2023-24. So... Wake me up...when the nina ends
  13. Let me show ya what I wish it would look like. This is my lifetime as far as my working memory can reach: (excuse the sloppy writing, lol) You see how 2-3 years of mediocrity was balanced out by a good year? Now, was every winter 2009-10? Of course not! That's not where my expectations are. What I DO look for, is NOT going 7 years without getting even ONE moderate snowfall over 6 inches. That's not what I grew up with, and this is the longest spurt of that I've ever had. Now what also doesn't help is...FIVE of the last 7 winters (including this upcoming winter) have been Ninas. My yard doesn't get warning events from ninas, so maybe that's part of the reason. Now 2018-19 I just got bad fortune...what walloped DC gave me 4.8 inches with light rates. Nice to look at, but...yeah a better result that woulda helped.
  14. I don't think I am taking it to the extreme. Every week I keep hearing about how strong the Nina is remaining...why would that change much before winter? So I assume this winter will look like last winter at best (12-15"), or worse if we don't get a January like last winter. So when I say "given up"...I guess I mean giving up on anything more (that is, snowfalls that are 5-6"+)
  15. Is it that hard to predict, though? I mean ya coulda said that last year and yet the enso that we knew was gonna be there determined exactly what happened. Now unless enso changes...what's hard to predict?
  16. When things get better posts will probably get better...or at least not as bad. Ya gotta understand the reason behind it...it has been a string of mediocrity since 2016. I know people are tired of hearing that but it is what it is. People are justified in frustration
  17. Let me ask ya something: What kind of winter followed the discussion we had a year ago?
  18. Well if you've practically given up on this winter (barring significsnt change), then I know I ain't too far off on writing this winter off, lol Nina enso seems to behave the most predictably, doesn't it?
  19. This is a picture of severe weather luck in Balt. City this summer...mercy.
  20. Ya don't know kick in the teeth this year unless you missed the monster cell on the 12th like I did!
  21. Baltimore has kinda been in the same boat (although I think a decent one finally got through next last week). Been kinda frustrating!
  22. Now what caused that brief hut intense bout of wind a little while ago?
