Were they a Terps rival at one time?

What about George Mason? (forgive me I don't follow college balk a ton)

What you got against MD? Lol

This was truly a work of art, hahahaha A forum masterpiece indeed! Oscar for best screenplay...@stormtracker

Sorry for all the questions but I'm just trying to connect the dots here: So one theory/idea is that warmer mid lat SSTs...produces more nina conditions? Do warmer SSTs produce more...trade winds? I think that's the part I'm not getting...What do warmer SSTs have to do with the trade winds that drive ENSO? Thoughts @Terpeast (or anyone else who may know, lol)

That being said...I can't see MD beating Alabama tonight. They barely hung on the other day, and I'm not sure they have the guts yet to win at a higher level. But we shall see...

This much I know--But what I was asking about is what it was about 98' and 16' super niños that was different from 83', 73', 66 in terms of changing the climo (is there like...too much warm air left over or?) What I don't understand is why a changing climate spawns more ninas...Now I was kinda dummy smacked last time I asked about why warm waters don't mean more niños, but--even after reading a little about trade winds, I still don't understand why/how a changing global climate produces more Ninas. Does something caused by...something else related to climate change cause the winds not to blow a certain way? Someone break it down for a layman...because if the bare bones in enso is trade winds, I don't get what the correlation is to having more of one enso state over another.

Dang...This year ya almost don't wanna be a 1 seed, lol

Hey I've been wondering about this...Why did the Super Niños of 65-66 & 82-83 do the same thing as well? If not, what is it about 98 and 16 that ushered in the warmer state? And also...if it's a moderate Niño a la 02-03 or 09-10 does it have the same effect? (Sorry I know there's like three questions in one there, lol)

Thank you for that...because my goodness I admite optimism but for crying out loud!

Me thinks that's already happening in the ENSO (although exactly what we're resetting to is another question altogether, lol) And since according to you I never post anything of significance...I'll at least post a link about enso: P.S. I'm a little wary because he said the weenie buzz words of 2002 and 2009, but, nevertheless...

Dang it man, lol

Ah I gotcha. Now I can't remember whether if it was you or somebody that theorized that it's possible that we may get more big hits but less snow overall.

Now see I was under the impression the snow periods were more snow (give 2010-16)...and that since we haven't had a snowy period since we're still not sure, lol Edit: Wait did I miss some sarcasm here?

The snow periods have been getting less snowy?

I think you both may have missed the point of my post. I'm not arguing that here. I just gave those examples in relation to how we see snow itself--not climate change in general! Maybe my psychological post was too unscientific for this thread, lol

Just to be clear I'm not debating about the specifics of PSU's data about the trends and such...MY post was more about our psychological approach to snow in general. And btw notice he said that his stats are NOT predictive, just explaining wheat has happened so far. But again, my post was more about how we are viewing all of this. Change could be permanent, or maybe it isn't. Still need to change the way we look at it!

That was the my first thought when I saw his tweet--he needs a good PSU-style smackdown of data, lol

This. I think we HAVE to start looking at it this way. And eventually I think we're gonna get used to whatever the new reality is (it still stings because it's kinda new). We can continue to enjoy snow when it comes, but I think we gotta stop looking at NOT getting it as some objectively bad thing. Maybe not using terms like "alarming" and "worrying" when it comes to the snow trends...maybe change the way we think about it (and adopt your perspective of snow being just one slice of the pie of things to enjoy). I'm starting to think that, at least for some of us, overtime we've been conditioned to view it as some big negative in life when it actually isn't. Now why this happend I have no clue...but I'm now asking the question: "So we got no snow...Why does that HAVE to be SO bad?" I mean hey, we just went through a historically bad winter and things are uncertain going forward...but we're still okay, ain't we?

The only thing worse is 0.0 inches, man. So being worse than this year is statistically unlikely!

I'm not sure you gotta dance around it any more man. It's hitting us right in the face...Hey I need to find a picture of that dang "Hadley cell" so I can put it on a punching bag...smh It has become an object of meteorological disdain!!! Hadley badley affects cold--BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Question is...what is this gonna look like in a niño? I mean dang of we got a split flow now...

Fyp

Yeah I mean I don't know if any March has ever salvaged a winter of futility. After skimming through the snow records...I guess March 1942 comes the closest, lol BWI had 4.2 inches (hey look! 4x what we have now! )before that storm.

PSU doing pbp? March is a strange month
