No we ain't, lolol

Still waiting for your what can go wrong post lol I think those are only for 10-12+ inchers But really it seems like this one is more straightforward.

Good thing we just did that a few weeks ago

Oh yeah I wasn't disagreeing with that at all--just giving a theory as to why 3-inch blizzard seems weird despite being scientifically correct, lol

I think the conflating of the two is because of a lot of our early associations with the word "blizzard". You hear that mentioned around and you immediately think like Blizzard of 96' or 79'. Thus, you think deep snow goes with "blizzard"! That's why a 3-inch blizzard, while true via scientific definition, doesn't naturally jive with that association...it's weird!!

Ah but the next quest will now begin...for Niño 2022-23!

Now I'm wondering if the icing over affects the Sunday AM commute at all?

The first one ESPECIALLY--my whole position about digital snow and snow maps, lol You can't lose what ya never had!!

Ah so that's what RGEM stands for! Really Good Exaggeration Model

So basically a weenie run, lol

With all due respect, I thougt I kinda stated my point: I question whether it's too soon to say it's gonna keep getting harder to snow. I bring up the mediocre periods of 5-7 years we saw at various points over the last 4-5 decades to compare it to now. Even you yourself said that your theory is more deductive reasoning--and I'm not knocking that method, btw. But in that method, of course...there are less hard data points for comparison. Thus, the reason I bring up previous mediocre periods to better see if what we are dealing with is something we've seen before or not. I guess that kinda summarizes my point: 1) Do we have enough evidence to definitvely say this will continue? Is 6-7 years really a big enough sample size? (now if you are referring to before 2016 my apologies if I missed that) 2) Have we seen this before in previous mediocre snow periods? maybe a deep dive into the "intersnowy" periods, (as someone aptly titled a thread) may bear out what you say. Now I'm not sure...but are you And I'm not saying you're definitely wrong (I respect your opinion)--and yeah I have an obvious bias of hoping you're NOT onto something, lol--but I'd like to see a little more--both time, and more hard comparisons to before (even if we go back just 30 years and look forward from there).

See if you can guess why I had a good laugh at the first sentence...lol

But how do you know the PAC firehose wasn't the reason for that? Was there not a general lack of cold air last season? This season we had cold air but no blocking...we have this last year and it's different. And as far as not having an arctic outbreak, to me, Jan 2017 wasn't that long ago, lol I just wonder if it's premature to sound the alarm.

Seeing a few mangled snowflakes mix in...but otherwise a chiiiiilly, stay-in-the-bed kind of rain, lol

Uh Mods? I'd like to report a case of age fraud...

Hahaha Yeah I think I share my age (+/- a year) with Millersville and @Fozz...Come to think of it, I think the youngest regular poster here would be... @Cobalt? Perhaps followed by the other poster (can't remember his name) that has a red tag that started posting recently. But it seems like there are more of you "old heads" on here. Weenie generations ftw, lol

So basically the NAM be like...

I'm just sorry I wasn't old enough to remember it!

Huh...looking a bit more GFSy, eh? Hm

Been a strange day...Been warm yet the wind has remained cool! Even had to close my window briefly after waking up this morning

Lol Ya know I'd willing to concede 48 hours for the NAM...since the proverbial "wheelhouse" starts there--as it can occasionally pick up a trend the globals may be slower to recognize (but someone can correct me I'm wrong about that).

Uh...I'd bet my next paycheck that everybody DOESN'T do this, and instead consciously or subconsciously get excited over a Day 7 snowmap. That be the problem, imo. I wish snowmaps didn't exist beyond 48 hours...MAYBE 72 hours at the most.

Man don't even...why trolleth ye? We are NOT getting a third Nina in a row. I ain't even speakin' that into existence, lol

This winter needed a No Energy Left Behind act...

In other words...the seasonal progressive tendency lingers into March!
