My electric budget is 130/mo and I have oil heat and propane hot water
My oil budget? Don't even want to talk about that. My wife likes 68-70 degrees and this 100+ year old farm house is far from energy efficient. Drafts everywhere. Even the kitchen cabinets are drafty. Can't wait til my kids graduate and I can move out of this school district (council rock) and into a modern rancher.
This is a solid look. Pattern progression mimicking past 4 weeks. Should see legit opportunities by mid month latest and moving forward from there. Is @The Icemanstill on a bridge preparing to jump? Wish he would see the light.
Yo bud....doctors orders....well, not a real doc but a few buddies from this forum. Seems to be working, just woke from a slumber. LR gefs looks pretty amazing. Patience.
Discussing it elsewhere I'm not sure it was 'missed'. I didn't post on it because frankly people think when we mention it we r writing off winter and grasping at straws....which is quite the contrary.
My expectations thru Jan 12 are lowish so I'm not expecting much outside of some fluke flakes or a fluke event we back into as we transition. My expectations for mid Jan forward are on the relatively higher side....not expecting wall to wall winter or a bunch of MECS but certainly more activity and finally cashing in with a few legit events. My patience is very high this season. We may very well have to deal with more warmups with colder active windows sandwiched inside. I mentioned this in my preseason outlook and stand by this.
Patiently waiting to hear Ji declare that run is an unmitigated disaster with no blue thru mid Jan. This is about the time he usually cancels and we begin tracking legit events.
But if you're looking at thise models to see if they agree with the GFS storm, then you're still tracking.
Neil Peart of RUSH once said, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"
I've done a research paper with data going back to 2002 for the Doylestown area specifically in SE PA and there is validity and factual support for this. I would only assume the same holds true for other general areas relatively nearby. My data here shows when we reach 60F we have flakes flying within 5 days. Not all are accumulating....about 75%. Of that 75% about 90% of those are 2" or greater. The date range of studies was Dec 27-Feb 10.
