PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 The feast-or-famine pattern that started in the 1970's was always predicted to turn into just famine only eventually. That may have started in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the whole board, not just this subforum, has punted the entire thing. It's December 10th, with a rain-to-snow scenario on our doorsteps from NC to Maine, and everyone seems to be capitulating.

It does appear however, at this early date, that the idea of cold and snow of a meaningful nature seems to be elusive prior to Christmas. Which is unfortunate because some how I imagined it might be one of those good old fashioned Christmases we hear in the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is indeed a typical niño warm-ish December (and really it's not a full blown torch), it may feel worse to some because of recent history. Besides, though the history of Niños is mid-January onward, there are no guarantees in weather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you imagine that, though--knowing what Decembers are more likely to look like in Niño years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imstill hoping the punt gets blocked and another hot winter is defeated but im getting a bad vibe when once again its Dec and instead of talking about the latest snowstorm threat, like last winter we are talking about severe weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latter Feb we talk sun angle. Seems to get worse every year no matter the base state or ENSO state…every state seems to be the same situation.

You could even steal the rocks and dirt from the western mountains to double down lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
