Some of the NNE folks were afraid of -NAOs.

 

 

I'll bet this winter will change their mind if my stats on -NAO winters were unable to convince them. :lol:

The odd thing is if you look at all the major indices, they have basically averaged neutral.  The only one with more variability has been the AO but even that has not been a raging +AO.

Yeah first it was a -NAO..now it's the PV.

How about anything that causes storms to suppress. I still stand by the extreme cold is no good for snow. No need for deep negative departures.

I think it's honestly the trough axis. I knew back in earlier January that the trough axis on the long range progs was no good for here. It was much better for SE New England because it was far enough east to not allow amplification that would threaten rain.

Its funny how i remember some on here saying a few weeks back that the last thing they would wanted to see is the PV sitting over their heads, Lot of short term memory loss on here

How did you do in the 2nd half of 2006-2007 winter?

 

 

That February was the coldest in the past 20 years.

Its not sitting over our heads though...that would be like Jan 2004.

 

 

This is largely centered over Hudson Bay...which is actually not a bad pattern for snow...even in NNE. But a little -NAO would have helped to slow the flow down a bit.

That was cold and dry but with 3-4 feet falling in the vicinity of Valentine's Day, lol. I guess we got lucky.

I know I'm not alone in the thinking that deep cold doesn't lead to good snows up here...I've heard Cold Front and Tamarack express similar sentiments. It's not that it doesn't happen, it's just not our best set up like it is for the Mid-Atlantic and SNE, especially the coast.

The areas further south and are more the beneficiary of the extreme cold then here

Part of the game. Electricity is highly used in the summer to keep the disgusting temps out of my house. I keep my house cool anyways. I don't need it to be 70 in my house in the winter.

 

I don't keep my house at 70 either, More like 64-66F, But i have an old house with an old boiler and way way over the budget this year on oil because of this arctic cold

Cold is good for the soul. It's nice and high temps haven't been that brutal.

 

It's good for killing lawn bugs so we don't have to poison our lawns like they do in CT.  That's about it. 

 

I've yet to see a pattern without whining holy crap its insufferable.

Weather divas.

If I'm only going to get two blizzards a month I can do without the cold.
