MGorse Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have a very important question regarding this upcoming winter... Will I be able to finally use my brand new snowblower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsu_wxgirl Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'm going to say yes. Based purely on the fact that I do not own one and just moved into our new house that has a mile long driveway On 10/11/2012 at 3:42 PM, MGorse said: I have a very important question regarding this upcoming winter...

I rubbed my snowblower last winter and we know how that turned out so no rubbing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has not seen snow, but plenty of dust though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslotted Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I am going to start getting my snowblower ready for action early next month in a defiant show of force to Team Torch and their operatives in the upper atmosphere... She has not seen action since Feb 2011, and went into a state of deep depression towards the end of last "winter"...Her hopeful looks at me each time I went into the garage eventually turned into long glares as the season dragged on. Hoping to let her run around and play this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I let mine run until it ran out of gas at the end of the '11 season...I learned that the hard way with my weed wacker. I had to take the carburetor apart and clean it. Now I use Stabil with all the outdoor engines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes anything outside of the tropics that we can glean will help more than average given the state of the nino. Jack's NF pool: Pos NAO Your box TBD Recurving tropics: I think neutral Eurasian snowcover TBD There's another one related to the Japaneses N/S SST Diploe, it's amazing and precurses the with a 22-23 months lead on Winter... Near 0.7 Correlation coef in that one, could be related to the Kuroshio current lead impact on the NP Trenberth region.. Just a theory.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing some, but not all. The CFS2 is looking more enso neutral all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
