All of the above is correct....  I don't have a clue what the later half of Jan and beyond will provide for my area.  I have cancelled the first 10 days of January after that who knows....  The Weeklies and CFS don't paint a great picture but honestly I believe after 10-15 days it's nearly impossible to know what is coming with any kind of certainty beyond flipping a coin.  I haven't cancelled winter but to say winter to date hasn't been disappointing would be wrong.  We were supposed to be buried under mile thick glaciers according to the pre-season forecasts.  What the heck happened?

 

Oh, I expect to take up that question if indeed we do get blanked, it's just too early.  All the historic numbers, analogs, and indices already seem to be meaningless.  But it ain't over yet.

Some big low somewhere that's destructively interfering with the SAIs or something.

It's obvious to me that the following needs to occur to shake up the mojo around here:

1. Retire the Charlie Brown themed avatars

2. Start the January Banter thread tomorrow so this one can be put out of its misery

3. Don't let discussion threads near the page 50 threshold without talk of a new one being created, and Heaven help us that we are actually going multiple pages past 50 this year. This significant change in thread lifespan/creation behavior from past years has upset the weather gods IMO.

 

 

We should all change our avatars to either one of these guys for good mojo.

^ I have no idea what that means, except that in the first frame, the anomalies are moving at 15,000,000 m^2/s^2 near Cuba. That seems pretty fast. I guess that SE ridge thing is hauling a$$. :(

Edit: I know it's not a real SE ridge, but you know what I mean.

let's rename it the Waycross ridge.

Doesn't it have to do with the MJO changing?

No, but metalic just sounds miserable in general with his posts.

And I am not being a weenie saying it's going to snow and snow a lot. I just don;t get all the gloom and doom. Even if it doesn't snow, so what?

I don't why you keep saying that.

You definitely are a weenie. If you look at the overall picture you can see where this doom and gloom you speak of is coming from.

Um, maybe because your posts are always negative.

 

And I have not been a weenie about anything this winter. The consensus from all the mets headed into this winter for a lot of action was reason to be positive about this winter. Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't. But I am not going to sit here and be all doom and gloom over it. That is just a miserable way of going about it all. If it doesn't work out, so what? I'd rather remain positive about it and move on.
