Ji Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 its over....will cancel Weatherbell at the end of the month till next winter...after being so active for 5 months straight and looking at weather data 24/7.....its such an empty and depressing feeling knowing its over. As Ian said, this is the best subforum on this weather board and I think we have the least weenies. We know where we live...we live north enough that are in the game for almost every storm and we have some years like this...and some years like 2010-11. Anyway...i need baseball season to start to have a new distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Over!? Did you say over!? Nothing is over until we decide it is! I personally will try to not just hibernate (from this board) until Dec. 5. Will do my best to stay on board for severe season. I love it, just not as much as I love snow. Anyway, bring on O's baseball and the Caps playoff run--which would no doubt end in round 1 should they even make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Depression? Nah, LAST 2 years were depressing. No fond memories as the door shut. Agonizing tracking basically left fruitless and mad. The voodoo hex feeling made me want to play racketball with chipmunks. This year we close the door on a truly satisfying winter on all levels. AND we have growing consensus for a Nino. AND the Wizards have the best team since the Arenas, Jamison, Butler days. ....and one euro member drops an April fools foot on us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, i couldnt wait for winter to end and get past the horribleness of it and move on. This year...its been so pure/and never ending. One thing that does help is as you said, watching a potential El Nino develop this summer. Best chance to get a real slow moving HECS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherCCB Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm ready to get back on the golf course. And start doing work in the yard. But with the hint of a weak- mod. Niño developing I'm sure I will be checking the long range outlooks frequently this summer. And hope the forecast - Nao is real. I'm all for keeping the high heat and humidity at bay for as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I don't get very excited for strong El Ninos... They're kind of incorrectly sold because people focus on the really bad ones. Several have produced a lot of snow in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 you know the strength of the nino we are getting...the snowbros are prescient Jason wrote an article about it last week and basically said strong ninos equal no snow.

I'm glad I didnt see the article...I have a massive post at the other board on Ninos, but I dont really feel like battling with weenies over the minutia...I've noticed when you put a lot of time into something, the 1st instinct for a lot of people is to complain and criticize (I can be guilty too)...and I don't feel like going nuclear on people...A lot of bad posters showed up on February 12th and many have lingered around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm ready for this winter to end - good riddance. Spring is awesome - trees and flowers blossoming, grass growing, gardening, fishing, golfing, and the beginning of the MLS season - it's the best time of the year. The beginning of the baseball season is the worst part about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ggweather list 3 of the 5 strong ninos were big snow years at the least. But the prevailing thought is a strong nino is the kiss of death for DC. I think the two painful ones were just so painful they overwhelm thinking on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskaETC Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I stand corrected. Thank you for the informative posts. Do we have to have -nao with a strong Nino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 there are no models to my knowledge at this time that give us a strong NINO there is, however, speculation by some mets that because of the very warm sub-surface temps in the western PAC that it will reach strong NINO conditions however, I remember everyone having the same discussion in mid 2009 because of the very warm sub-surface temps and the facts is, the very warm sub-surface temps do not usually make it to the surface EDIT: this is supposed to be updated tomorrow, but if you click on the "Climate Models" link over the pic of the PAC, you'll see where they are at this point http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I stand corrected. Thank you for the informative posts. Do we have to have -nao with a strong Nino? generally speaking we need a -nao during any nino otherwise we run a big risk of zonal flow and pac air rolling in from lp in the goa.

AlaskaETC Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Anyways, I grew up in Vegas so I don't have very fond memories of strong El Ninos in that region either. I believe Vegas got its storm of the century in 98 during the super Nino year... Not a very exciting storm. Just a lot of rain, which caused historic flooding.

HighStakes Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 No depression this year. Sure a little sad to see such a great year coming to an end, but it's been a very slow end. This year was very satisfying and next year may be lining up for all of us again. Perhaps this is the beginning of a good run. I've been fringed on every event since Feb. 12/13 and never got pissed off once. That's how top notch this season was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
