Perhaps you can do what the Penguins did in 16 and 17. Nah, you know the Penguins will just beat you in the playoffs again this spring lol Last year was an aberration and the Caps had to win sometime as it was inevitable. Besides, got to troll the Caps some when my Penguins are on break till next Monday due to the NHLPA rules of a week off either before or after the ASB... and not much to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say with all sincerity that I admire how you and others have developed the skills to read and interpret the weather patterns. I know its not easy but you guys have dedicated yourselves to it...its fun to read the analysis...I'm here everyday digesting...but as observed...I'm skeptical by nature. I hope nobody takes it personally...its just weather and I don't think I'm mean spirited...asshole maybe...but not mean spirited. I hope it snows Expand I never take offense. I have little skill at predicting super long range patterns and I’ve rarely been confident in an outcome. This year I was but it was false confidence because a couple of the main variables I used to make the assumption were wrong. I greatly miscalculated the enso and mjo. I can admit that. I’m not a blow smoke and try to spin a failed forecast like Cohen and JB do. If I was wrong about how we get there then I was wrong regardless of ground truth outcomes. I would much rather be discussing short and medium range discreet events. Even day 7-10 specific threats are more fun and I can usually get a decent feel for the options and how it might turn out in a general sense. Details not yet of course. But we haven’t had many good threats make it into that range the last few years so I’ve been stuck talking about long range ghosts. The last two threats I realized I was likely out of the game early on and so it kind of was a buzzkill too. I tried to post some last week and I did try to argue for a more amplified solution for your area. I thought the cips analogs were showing there was more upside than guidance at day 3-4 was giving it and while there was some suppression it wasn’t the total shred factory that would squash such a moist amped system in the Mississippi valley to nothing. The total weak saice runs never made much sense to me. I’m really glad that worked out for you guys though. I wish we could have more tracking of threats like that (but maybe 30 miles north next time) in the medium range but absent that I’m left speculating about low probability long range crap.

Lucketts Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mostly a lurker for the last 3 years. A quick (BIG) thank you to all of the regular and knowledgeable posters here (you know who you are). I have learned so much from you all and have become somewhat addicted to this page. On another note, here's a question that I've been wondering about for some time now. With the record (and continued) rainfall of 2018, what is it going to take to get the pattern back to something closer to our average precipitation? This may be a complicated answer but I'm all ears and willing to learn. Thanks for your expertise and input. Greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
