mattie g Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Banter, banter, banter. Blah, blah, blah. This is a place for all those who moan about the lack of blizzards in December to air their grievances. Never you mind about The Panic Room. We'll look after you here... Happy Chrimbo!

Only thing that looks stable for the whole run is the Bearing Sea ridge. That helps keep some of the PV over on our side the next couple weeks. W Canada certainly won't be torching Some serious cold with or without precip would be welcomed for the week before and after Christmas. Pond skating, or even hiking, in extra cold and dry is okay with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round Hill WX Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Looks like I got people worked up by posting what Cansip has done in terms of solid accuracy over the last several months. I'm not endorsing it...just showing it. That said, I'm inclined to wonder if people who are denying its usefulness would be as vocal against the model if it showed wall to wall cold DJF.

Are you familiar with the phrase "when America has a cold, the world catches pneumonia"? What you need to know is that in this region, when the north gets a scratch, sometimes, we get rabies. Rabies kills efficiency and without mercy. Negative news from any source is akin to a pathogen. If left unchecked, It has the potential to multiply into a full blown panic/despair virus that jumps from weenie to weenie until it has consumed so many souls that it burns itself out. Some people are genetically predisposed to fight this scourge, but all are susceptible if the virus is virulent and infectious enough. I'm not saying don't be negative--you have to build up monthlies immunity to survive the pathogens that come from true killers like the GFS or Euro, but just know that this early in the season, we would really hate to have an outbreak, which means that the response to a cough is handled with extreme prejudice. Good response. I considered posting something about all those throwing a Hissy fit over the Sips but I find yours is much more diplomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
