Hoth Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I have found Kevin's pessimism to generally be an excellent leading indicator of nascent epicosity. Feb 2013 and Jan 2015 in particular stand out as periods when he blithely condemned us to futility or a few nickels and dimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowHole413 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Starting to feel like my early thoughts of a front loaded winter maybe in question. Hoping for a better pattern after the epo tanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s literally nothing right now thru mid next week . And as of now a warm cutter pre Xmas .It just looked so promising. I guess we’re lucky we had last weekend . Like I said earlier.. things can change. Hopefully they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier.. things can change. Hopefully they do Yeah, they will. But as it is only December 12 and we have a 6" storm under the belt already, I'm feeling pretty good relative to recent seasons. Think this will ultimately be a target rich environment after the holiday. And lets face it, almost every year has offered up some kind of major to historic event for most of the last decade. Mar '17, Feb '17, Jan '16, Jan/Feb '15, all those frigid fluff storms in '14, Feb '13, Oct '11, Jan '11, Dec '10, etc. etc. I'm sure this winter will have some fun stuff to track, but we always have a few boring or warm interludes. At least there's no one-eyed pig out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 We could easily get a good event in the next 10-12 days...man, some of you are quick to throw in a towel. I wouldn't even throw in the towel for this weekend yet. Not looking great, but it doesn't need a huge trend. Could easily be a minor event...if you're looking for historic top 10 snowstorms, then you might be out of luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Some are bipolar. As long as the epo doesnt budge, we good. Would rather the ridge not fold over into a west trough but even if it did, a slight -nao would help at some point....even a sneaky stubborn quebec high to prevent true cutters.

ORH_wxman Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 We have this debate every year...some like the snow pack because they think it makes the landscape look much nicer. I'm in that camp. I can understand those who aren't....but int he end it's different strokes for different folks. It's a subjective opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of salt/sand they use now to treat roads, it becomes a mess rather quickly and you need to use your wipers/cleaner all the time to keep it off. It becomes a nuisance after 24hrs.

They can be good when you have constant refreshers, sure. Jan 13 I think was good for snowpack too. But I’m not praying my last 2” is not gone when I get home today.

I'm in that camp. I can understand those who aren't....but int he end it's different strokes for different folks. It's a subjective opinion. Snowpack is good for that reason, also because it helps folks logging in winter (which action supplies a goodly part of my salary), and shortens mud season by limiting the depth of frost. But it looks nice for aday than it all goes to ****. That's an urban thing. Those fortunate enough to live in the sticks don't have to put up with that (unless it's Feb-Mar 2010. 46 consecutive AN days with nothing that looks like real snow makes for ugly.)

Typhoon Tip Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 out of the last 10 or so cycle of the GFS operational I've seen about 50/50....either a blow torch or an out and out ice storm implicated over Xmas weekend- ...

My memory was we were all melting and discussing the futility record then, which was especially painfully coming directly on the heels of the abysmal '12 season. Maybe that was just in the Boston area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
