I will. I’m out. It’s not worth it. I’ve been planning on Colorado or Northern New England for a while. I think it’s time. Why have to wait?  Go somewhere where a disaster is only getting 75”!   I’ll still pop in now and then to say how great the weeklies look though!

I could move to southern Vermont tomorrow, but we stay here in southern PA for now. But I dream about getting casual snow.

There is no snow drought.  Eastern areas were above climo the last 2 years, and southern areas are above this year.  The snow drought is local.  Bad luck.  Weather is not looking to even anything up.  We'll likely suffer through several Nina's before we see another nino, especially a modoki.  Check our nina climo snow.

That's not necessarily true either...Just look at this decade. We basically went mod nino, nina, nina, neutral, neutral, super nino, nina, nina, weak modoki. And a two-year enso event is not off of the table either! We are due for a mod Nino, imo!

This is one case where the weeklies are probably useful, and likely deadly accurate.

The cfs flipped today. The last 3 runs are just like that weeklies look.  SE ridge never goes away

kidding aside I really think there is more to the se ridge than the pac.  I think it’s a cause more than an effect in this pattern.  Even once the pacific gets right and pushes the trough out it’s just forced up and over the ridge.  The se ridge isn’t being caused by the western trough.  That’s making it worse yea but I startee suspecting and now I’m convinced there is another factor here that I’m missing that’s causing that feature to persist regardless of the look out west.

Did we ever actually make it to official El Nino status?

I think it’s a combo of the Pacific and North Atlantic. The PAC jet has been directed up towards the pole all winter. It has allowed the PAC jet to transport right along into the CONUS. Not good.

At the same time, the Atlantic wave break(50/50low) has been pushed along by the incoming PAC jet. Thus, no blocking in this region. So storms have mostly gone to cut. 

I believe the PAC is driving this overall winter pattern. Why, I don’t know. Here is a representation of the problem:

Hey psu have you lost faith in weather modeling in general, I have .

The models are like decaying cow guts.  Rotten and smelly with a stench of failure and a hint of , SUCKERS   #$%#&*&(&^!!!

I dont want to hear in December about the WEAKLIES I believe it when I can make a snowball ........

When life gets tough, just look to the FV3 which will give us feet upon feet of digital snow.

This winter really was fine. There have been way, way worse winters. Plus, we still have March and that seems to be deep winter around these parts for some reason.

Yeah, in reality my total so far is almost double my last two years combined so its certainly not as big a disaster as some years.  I think its the hype going into this winter + the consistently advertised epic looks on weeklies/seasonal and even ensembles (at times) which has led to the disappointment in general.  While we can certainly see more snow and can ‘luck’ into a storm, I’m over tracking anything in the LR.  It seems pointless this season.

I said this in the weekend storm thread, but think it is just as appropriate  here. 

The south move (don't want to use the word "trend" ) does nothing for my area. Will still be rain. I would rather this be north and give you guys snow, and me much less rain! I hate rain and I am so tired of wiping my pooches feet and cleaning floors!! I would be even happy with brutal cold and dry right now. At least my mud would be "FROZEN"!!
