I'm pondering ratterhood down here... But I've seen 10 double digit storms since relocating here in 2009 so it's all good.

my hope is as many people as possible get a back end loaded winter. Perspective 2005 NAO in Jan

I feel pretty confident in saying no steady state -NAO in Jan. That's not to say some wave breaking event occurs there and gives a bootleg block for a couple of days, but a classic -NAO isn't happening this month IMO.

As you know bootleg blocks are responsible for very many of our great storms during positive months. Pretty sweet that the PNA rises as the EPO relaxes, climo great time , we risk some cutters but increase the chances of snow.The SE ridge flattening is also a good sign. Hopefully we all get some snow. I remain encouraged for snow as I am concentrated on only next weeks look.

Man, it sure can be painful, the process to which the board lowers it's expecations a notch, it is actually a very entertaining  psychology class for those lurking (I am sure) 

 

So we got a Dead ratter watch issued by BOX today, hahaha  ahhhh oh well. I will still Ski and enjoy my winter. I don't take Snow that serious if it doesn't fall, but I will drive 3 hours to chase it! Honestly I realize the winter could still turn out very well and lets hope those GEFS are right baby!

I'm just referring to an overall -NAO or something that lasts more than a day or two.

Most dramatic weather month of my life anywhere.

Went to AMS in San Diego, was told by many out there that the nao would never go negative (essentially canceling winter in the east)... Meanwhile we were torching in Boston... I got home, went to a work retreat in VT with rain and 50... Front came through up there with Ana snow of 6"...

Came back to a much colder Beantown... The next week we had a few inches, then a subzero morning, then 2'+ of epicosity. ..then bitter cold and a surprise 8" clipdump...

But I wax poetic about that month because of its rarity... And to hang your hat on a turnaround like that is, well, optimistic. But that's why we love the Ginx.

it was only an example, but you do remember the most famous blizzard of many of these young turks lives in 13 NAO
