I really like the last week of January post 1/25, after the pattern peaks, for several inches of snow. Both 1/26 and especially 1/29 viable threats. Sell this week- Interesting. The OP looked north.

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Last week of January and potentially first week of Feb for decent (not expecting a real big dog) snows...after that, all bets are off, as it may be getting hostile.

I thank you all, especially the regulars, on behalf of those who mostly lurk and laugh. We're struggling. Even a swing and a miss would be welcome at this point - something, anything, to track and ponder. As many have mentioned in the last few weeks, vaporizing our cover on Christmas was the most devastating component of this awful stretch. It'd been a lot different around these parts if we were clinging to that well into 2021. It's particularly painful to me to have watched the coastal Connecticut sky spitting out snow last May, and then again in October, only to leave us with this purgatory in prime time. We all know what February can do. We got this. Stay sane. Join the circus, post more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason we average what we do.....odds are against sub par seasons several years in a row. Fact, not opinion. Are you arguing they are dependent events?

Someone can flip a coin and get heads six times consecutively...on the seventh flip the odds of heads are still 50/50. Yep. I’d ask this question first....how many times have you had 3 subpar seasons in a row? I’ll bet the answer is very few. For ORH I can only think of 4 times going back to 1950. (Btw I defined “subpar” as anything below the 40th percentile...so if ORH had 64” in a season, that is considered “normal” in my classification...even though technically it is slightly below the long term mean of 69”) 1. ‘97-98 through ‘99-‘00 2 ‘88-89 through ‘91-‘92 (this is 4 consecutive...the only time) 4. ‘78-‘79 through ‘80-‘81 3. ‘52-‘53 through ‘54-‘55 So our sample size here is actually 4. If you took it at face value, that means we’d have a 1 in 4 chance of getting 4 in a row. However, we know small sample sizes aren’t representative of the longer term probability, and the chances of getting 4 in a row are actually close to 50/50 unless there is some meteorological reason to believe that the 4th season is biased toward above normal snowfall after 3 subpar seasons. I certainly cannot come to that conclusion statistically with a mere sample size of 4 trials. We first need to reach 3 seasons in a row. That’s far from a done deal considering many spots are actually above normal still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more things are starting to awake in terms of plant life. We’ve had zero bitter cold this winter when even our warmest winters at least have a brief shot or two. It’s been a sneaky torch.

There hasn’t been a signature torch like you’d normally see with that type of departure over a half-month period. It’s been consistently pseudo-winter like with highs in the 30s but lows even more above normal. Very monotonous in the spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It’s tough because the pattern looks good going forward...so as each threat fails, you get the urge to punt but if you are looking objectively at the pattern, you know you can’t because it is still favorable going into early February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what’s going on but hopefully we can see some flakes on the 26th. Without the -NAO we would have had an epic winter heat wave. Some of the objective analogs for the hemispheric pattern earlier this month were early January 2007....people might remember many spots hit 70F during that one. The only thing different this time was a west based NAO block that kept us in the 30s for the most part with well above average low temps. It was actually not a bad snow pattern, we just couldn’t get any of the shortwaves to cooperate....very narrowly missed a good one on 1/3-1/4 and then missed another chance on 1/12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over Bro..you are one big Bi-polar guy when it comes to Weather. This January absolutely sucks, I couldn’t agree more. And if February gets hostile, then what is this? This is pretty hostile no matter which way you slice it. But you’re psychotic flip flopping is off the charts. Lol One day your touting we have chances all week and let’s see how much snow is on the ground by this time next Saturday. And then it was back to a ratter. Then it was the Fake Norlun you’re looking for. And now you’re back to doom And gloom again. This could be the worst case of the Bi-Polar weather blues I’ve ever seen from you. You hate to see it.
