40/70 Benchmark Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 for your backyard +2 to +3, 50-55" Very reasonable....tad warmer and less snowy than I had. Good luck....love the presentation. You are a very adept public speaking. I, on the other hand, will stick to writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd feel terribly if Caribou, ME only received 80". I'm sure Atlanta would weep for you if you were held under 20"....fun game, I guess.

mattie g Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Well, I'd feel terribly if Caribou, ME only received 80". I'm sure Atlanta would weep for you if you were held under 20"....fun game, I guess. Certainly is. You have to realize that many people around here are incredibly sensitive to having folks from places with "superior" snow climo make comments about their backyards being "less snowy" or something similar, despite those average or below average winters being similar to a blockbuster around here. Just my opinion, but Atlanta cannot, by any stretch, be considered a place that should ever expect any kind of meaningful snowfall. That's kind of why being here is tough - we can snow enough to make it sometimes seem like we should regularly get in on the action (and our blockbuster storms are about as big as they come), but we can also fail so horribly when places not terribly far away just rake it in. Basically, MA snow lovers have fragile psyches, and we can scale the absolute heights of snow ecstasy one minute, but troll the depths of snow despair in the next. I do hear what you're saying, though. I'm just giving you s**t. We'd give our (or our husbands') left nuts to have 50-55" of snow in any winter, and wouldn't complain one bit. Wait...Ji would complain, but no one else would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I know I'm likely ****** if you get 4" on the season so I sincerely pray for you guys to do well--just not as well in snowfall departure as mby I could hack it much easier if we all share in the failure, because that misery has plenty of company.

Wait...Ji would complain, but no one else would. Having been on the forums for over a decade now...the unwritten etiquette of posting in another region's thread (or subforum)sort of goes like this: 1. Don't tell them they've had a great winter if you have and they haven't. (i.e. actually research how they have done if you weren't paying attention) 2. Know the climo of that region if you are going to post about their weather, model solutions, snow chances, etc. 3. Don't say you wish the next storm will hit them and miss you because everyone will know you are lying....root for them to steal their snow from North Carolina or something or root for an all-inclusive storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody else has to be shut out for that to happen, so be it. Absolutely. Case in point: I would never say something to the Richmond folks about wanting them to get hit and not me because it wouldn't be genuine. Unless we get a region- or East Coast-wide storm, then we often need them to mix if we're to get into the best stuff. They know that, so there's no need to say anything about it.

Didn't even mean it. We had two good winters in a row without a -AO or -NAO. We have had terrible winters with a -AO and -NAO. I'll go with the good winter.

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I know. You're one of a kind. Though I have to admit I was pushed over the edge last season where any storm under 20" was unsatisfactory to you while I couldn't get 6". Well, that was in our thread.

I'll go with the good winter. I don't give two you know what's how we get it. I'm pretty confident that if we don't get some decent periods of legitimate -NAO, then we're going to have some trouble this year. Of course, no one knows whether or not we'll have a raging +NAO, 'roided-up -NAO, or something in between, so there's no use worrying about it right now.
