I attribute our struggles these last 6 years with having 4 la ninas...yeah you had the el nino that wasn't and the AO+++++ neutral. Bad fortune? The other thing not to be named? Probably difficult to tell given that sample size. If ya only have 2 years without a historically unfavorable ENSO, and one of those had an AO+ disaster...yeah ya can't tell!

Yo that ain't even right! I'm wondering if Texas has more snow than we do the last two years...lol This should be on a post for la ninas...sheesh. Man I hope we get a good Nino next year and scratch out a good event or two this month!

Yep!! That's why when Superbowls come...savor them! (I certainly did back then! Can't tell ya how many times I watched both the highlight DVD and the DVD with full games!! My folks kept saying that year "Why you keep watchin' those DVDs all the time!"...and this is why! I mean what a memorable, MEMORABLE run--memories that will last a lifetime. That year erased the Billy Cundiff sting--because the journey, and the story of 2012 was so much better! Hope we can get to the Superbowl soon...GO RAVENS!

Are there any storms on record where that actually worked? Lol

Alright last bemoaning of this (for now): Dang it it DID happen last year...but the stupid dang PAC flood!!! You gotta wonder if we could've been lookin' at a close second to 95-96 had it not been for that! *steam coming from head" On a another note...what effect does ENSO have on -AO/-NAO?

Yeah I know--that what sucked about that. That was just some bad fortune there...that winter could've been so much better with even a marginal pac...dang it!

Oof!!! Thinkin' about that -NAO we had last winter...dag nabbit!! (And dang it if it shows up in March a la 2018 so help me...lol)

Whoa some serious mid-atlantic snow climo knowledge being dropped in here today by the legendary @Bob Chill and @psuhoffman. I'd like to think both posts could be put in the climo thread! And the two of you give a one-hour virtual lecture on what works and doesn't work for snow here (assuming it could be explained in an hour, lol). That would seriously be awesome if you considered doing that! Great analysis as always by you both--nice to see good info instead of us lesser-knowledgeable posters swimming in weenism, not-so-great analysis, and memes...(though those things too kinda make this forum, Iol)I'll. Thanks to ya both!

Yeah it is awful...but I mean not like we got much of a choice! Bone dry next 7-10 days unless we get a bit of a miracle with the two weaker waves. I guess maybe I'm referring to having a break from the tracking disappointment rut that comes after a week of said tracking coming up short. That post-missed storm mental malaise is exhausting by itself. I'd love a 2014 year--as long as we can have the same success rate! Last month was more exhausting tracking what didn't happen after the first week. You can only see so many NS vorts ruin things before wanting a break from that... All that being said, I totally get your position...we got 8 months to have a break, and punting for the next 7-10 days does suck. Hope we can track something again after that!

Cold rain except higher elevations, I think...Huh, who could've guessed this? (don't wanna spike the football...might be too much mud in the snow, lol)

Quite frankly I think a short mental break from tracking might not be a bad thing. Just think about the last month or so...a LOT of tracking. Joy the first week, but a lot of angst from coming up just short the rest of the month. Time for a reset (mentally and hopefully for renewed snow chances this month).

Ha, spiking the football...see what did there

Yo why the edges of that look like somethin' off the original Nintendo? Lol

Wish it were interesting in a better way, lol

This here oughta be the poster for what to expect from ice threats around here 95% of the time...lol This p-type division is textbook climo for what happens, it seems...(I think there are more ways to get snow than ice!)

El backo steppo

El Goofuso es bien a hora 45...

Under consideration...lol

Frustrating as heck...too many dang vorts flying around at once. Typical nina

I read that as literal "sun potential"...lol But I mean if it get suppressed that would be the result...

We shall see...always happy for my takes to positively bust! I'll be quite happy if I try to spike the ball and end up slipping on ice in the process...lol

Now some jumped on me on Monday for saying this would probably be cold rain...but I just used a Chill rule and went by what usually happens in my yard with cold chasing precip...and lo and behold here we are, unfortunately...

Well, at least it's just Wednesday. Feels like it either comes back or gets squashed to oblivion, lol

Wait hang on...is that a similar process by which our snow turned cutter a couple weeks ago got yanked northwest?

Ji ninja'd ya on that...lol I love how folks throw that out there like everybody can just uproot like that
