I actually do wanna know...so we know whether we may need to cancel next winter already, lol (off the top of my head...at BWI, I know 1998-99 wasn't much...2012-13 kinda sucked, and 1973-74 was actually halfway decent total-wise)

Why are you guys torturing yourself with these snow maps? I mean, mercy...a snow map240 hrs out? What in the world does that even mean in any kind of season--let alone one like this one? Lol

I think from here on...no winter outlooks until December. Just don't do it, lol Don't even bother (unless it's a mod nino or something)

Dang...is the first week of March hail mary window already closed? If so...oof. That would be a typical end to this winter, smh

Just enough to fail at getting a record fail for the month...lol

Dang man you already giving up on next winter? Lol From your posts it sounds like you don't think we can get a decent winter again...I'd rather wait a few more years. If we continue to fail, then...maybe a change in climate will be a concern for our snow chances...

Would be the peak of unfairness if it did...smh Hope this was just an off-run! (because I'm just holding out a little hope for the first week of March...after that I'm out, lol)

And then there's the cold water poured on the post before yours...lol Thankfully it's just one run!

Yeah that particular look we have seen too many times on the models this year...ain't buyin' it, lol

So right now your probability of posting the the snow probability maps is 0%

It is his 250th birthday year, after all...

Man, at this point, if we gotta suck this month, we may as well go for the historic Feb. mark of not even a trace...lol So unless we have a legit shot at an inch, I don't want a trace to ruin it, haha

Yeah that one kinda hurt too...but it wasn't as bad for me that time because I wasn't following this site or the weather models back then (so I didn't know exactly what was being shown a few days prior). But now...that one is my Exhibit A for...NEVER TRUST A NINA. Those winters will break your heart everytime (don't count 1996--that may have been once in a lifetime, lol). Next time we get one, I don't even think I'll bother much with tracking!

Man that one still kinda hurts...lol That turned out to be the only shot at a foot we've had since 2016 (barring a March miracle this year)

Ordinarily I'd agree about lot giving up 7-8 days out...but that whole week is so historically futile for us (for some strange reason) that I just skip it, lol But hopefully we can have something for the week of the 1st start popping up by the end of the week!

But when was that ever a storm, though?

Aw man...Of course it would be just like this winter would try and throw in one "just missed!" to twist the knife...lol

Wait...were we tracking something on the 25th? Lol

And now...apparently the op is now reflecting a bit of that...

Looks more like just a modeling of a wider precip shield than a turn up the coast (that High blocking it seems to be the real deal)

Lol...That's a good question. Ya know, I'm only now realizing just how much I do it until you said that I think it's because I often I end up expressing a lot of "sidebar" thoughts that are kinda related to the preceding sentence, but not completely (same thing during my personal interactions in reality, lol....Dang it I just did it again!) My ADD brain often wants to get multiple thoughts out at once; but then, my mild OCD drives my compulsion to keep the paragraph on one subject. Could be grammatical laziness too...wanting to express quickly yet not having the patience for using the proper syntax to put the thoughts together, lol P.S. I moved this to banter so we wouldn't crowd the thread...despite the dirth of optimism at the moment, lol

We only get so many winters in a lifetime. Giving one up hurts badly I can kinda feel ya on that...but Bob is right. We would do well to develop better coping mechanisms for dealing with our boom/bust region (since moving ain't in the cards for some of us). Yeah it sucks when it happens like this...especially when it comes on a streak of years where we've had more trouble scoring. Back-to-back ninas, followed by a winter that didn't produce due to MJO, too weak of a nino, or whatever, then this winter (so far). Brutal stretch we've been having. (and yes, we only have a lifetime of winters. But who knows, brother...maybe there's snow on the other side too! )

They just wanna rip off a guy's mask right off, I'm tellin' ya...lol

What...(ya know, I shoulda known better than to use the same icon on Twitter...lol) But I don't quite understand your response...I wasn't the one that was complaining about cold and snow! I think ya just posted this to troll me...lol

And who are these people that have been living under a snowless mud-rock that are saying this???
