There should be a forum wide rule at the very least that you can't bitch about the pattern within X days of receiving a foot of snow. Automatic weenie tag or something.
The Mets? Eh, they had a decent record in the NL East this year. I think they've earned the right to survive another season. Also, I always lube up for the Euro. Dry humping is reserved exclusively for the NOGAPS.
I find it funny that anyone is biting their nails over GFS/GEFS. Beyond being generally poor, that model is historically downright abysmal with EC cyclogenesis.
Not true. We only Grinch at Christmas. We're on to a new decade for snow threats! Not sure the '20s can match the epicosity this one delivered, but we can hope!
Ray, thanks for all your hard work. Your outlook is always one of the highlights of my weather-watching year and I look forward to re-reading this several times to soak up as much as I can.
Yeah a surprise storm is virtually impossible. You're not gonna see 700 people get killed from a hurricane blowing in on an unassuming summer afternoon. The real surprise will be when we actually get a legit cat 2-3 landfall and not some rapidly disintegrating swirl with gusts to the sixties. Then all those people who have been conditioned to expect false alarms in New England will be unprepared and will suffer for it.
There's a Kelvin wave crossing the MDR in the next couple weeks, which should also encourage development. Should be an interesting period for tracking at any rate. Beats endless talk of dews and changing leaves at any rate.
