I would never go with futility in ORH on Feb 1 unless I had some odds adjusted to the wager . They can get a front end 4” on a cutter that leaves with bare ground and no futility or some elevation fart in late March where nobody else gets much . There reporting station is not really representative of downtown . The airport is in weenieville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 While persistence has merit and can be tough to snap sometimes, the past is not indicative of the future. Dec and Jan were vastly different too so while the sensible weather for SOP has been the same, how we got it was not…which is one reason why I can’t roll DJ forward to Feb. If Feb skunks us then I’ll just toss everything out the window moving forward and order a flock of geese from the vatican.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the winter where we got a nice storm in mid Novie and another one on like March 10th or something with almost nothing in between…?

No that was 2018-19.....2019-20 was the biggie in early December (mostly to your north but you did get some in that) and then mostly dogshit the rest of the way. There were a couple smaller events in December after tha early month storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only happened 3 times since we moved to Maine 50 years ago. Fort Kent in 1978 (only 2" from the KU) and Gardiner in 1987 came when a bunch of strong storms was followed by an extended period with no storms. The 3rd one was in 2006 when only 7.8" fell after Jan 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 2 hours ago, EastonSN+ said: MJO phase 8 by late February? Unlikely. In so far as attempting to predict the MJO wave behavior alone, it is more likely it migrates around spaces 3-6 as a low to medium amplitude propagation, then terminates (ultimately...) along the 7/8 boundary. Probably also after the few days just prior to, try to sell it actually moving through 8. I'm just basing that on two primary methods: One, seasonal persistence to die and end up winding into oblivion inside the RMM N/S region, after models seem convincing it it will finally succeed in propagating through 8 - never actually doing so... (duping optimists). ALL THE TIME. The other reason, is the reason why that has been the case. The Pacific basin has been in robustly coupled state with the La Nina much of the way this season - so far... The only time it was not, back in Dec ... there wasn't any waves ejecting out of the Marine sub-continent to take advantage... Such that the total wave behavior this season so far is seemingly incapable of ever getting through 8-1-2 successfully... Perhaps this all breaks down over the next 3 weeks and we find ourselves in a new paradigm that allows that to happen? could be - who knows. But it's tough to go against persistence when present state is more coupled than not ( which is a destructive interference regime), and that state has proven impenetrable all season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
