40/70 Benchmark Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 No, no.....just a generational thing...not physiological. Same issues in the sports forum.....I always run into someone who pops a gasket when I claim that "the best team didn't win the WS". 9\10 it's an older gentleman....40's and up.

SF Giants ...... Actually, the statistically best team usually does not win it all. FACT...NOT opinion. The PS is a crapshoot because of it's inferior samle size....if you would like to try to make the case that 25 games is a more viable sample size, than 162, then I will refer to you as a kook.

Agree, not trying to be argumentative either. God weather boring period quickly approaching but still have a woodie thinking about this past winter, staring at my home made roof rake right now and laughing.

Don't get me wrong...you're talking to someone who is rating this winter as my favorite, EVER, despite it falling 33.5" short of the statistically snowiest winter. ...and I'm a tough grader, as you all know.

40/70 Benchmark Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Some other things to consider is that the NAO is of more relvance in CT, then it is to my area....once you hit the pike, it's correlation begins to drop off quite precipitously....by the time you get into SNH and the N ORH hills, and really isn't a big factor. You also have to realize that while the NAO itself is very imoportant to portions of sne, it is not an independant variable....IOW, there are other factors such as ENSO and the MJO, which are all connected......that can preclude the NAO from being in an optimal state. The NAO does not operate in a vacuum, independant of other influences....while it may very well be the most influencial variable with regard to far sne wx, it is influenced by other factors.

ORH_wxman Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Find me another strong Nina\neg NAO winter. '55-'56. '70-'71 was nearly strong and -NAO. But more of them are +NAO than -NAO. '73-'74, '74-'75, '75-'76, '88-'89, '98-'99, '99-'00, '07-'08 to throw out a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong la Nina is highly correlated to MJO phases that are very hostile to the negative state of the NAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all interrelated but I am very much a AO being the bus driver for us in CT. I am very interested in the solar research being done too.

Yea, once you down to CT and especially the tri state region, it's NAO....mid atl, forget it. lol The point is that regardless of how badly you need the NAO, you need other factors to favor it's optimal state...a la ENSO\MJO.

ineedsnow Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 off topic but this would be nuts!! now thats impressive!! 88 to snow in the same day! This Afternoon: Areas of blowing dust. Mostly sunny, with a high near 88. Very windy, with a west southwest wind between 40 and 45 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Tonight: A slight chance of rain showers before 1am, then a chance of rain and snow showers. Areas of blowing dust before 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 34. Wind chill values between 27 and 32. Very windy, with a northwest wind 40 to 45 mph decreasing to between 20 and 25 mph. Winds could gust as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

H2Otown_WX Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know it's not that exciting but we should probably start a LR thread since it looks like we are headed into a pretty active weather pattern over the next 7-10 days. Not sure what the ECM's take is on it but the GFS has pulses of energy diving down into the SW and then moving up at us on several occasions. Temperatures look to be around normal with the -EPO battling the SE ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Living in SRI at the time, 45 inches 60/61 Meh My guess is you got more. Either way, you were like 3 years old so it would be hard for your to REALLY compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I do not remember but that stat was from the URI Kingston Official station not very far from where I lived. A perusal of the monthly data there said meh, pretty cold but no comparison to this winter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perusal of the monthly data there said meh, pretty cold but no comparison to this winter at all. I saw Will's reply. We'll never know. My area was better vs this one (was in NJ). That was a more wintry year in general but you'd have to talk to the older folks (my age and up) living in the area. This year had the epic 5 weeks ...as good as it gets. But was it better vs 78, better vs 93-94, better vs 95-96 periods? I'm not sure....would love to hear other opinions as it tends to be subjective for all.
