Itstrainingtime Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Bubbler86 said: On the subject of winter grades and snow totals, MDT's normal snow fall for the season up to date (Aug on I believe) is 14.5" while their current total stands at 9.7", all of it coming in January. If you assume no Feb 5-7th, miracle MDT will need over 20" of snow from Mid Feb through the rest of the season to break even. Mecs or Hecs and we are probably there....a few 3-5" snows and probably not. Well said. We're going to have realistically about 35 days (2/15 - 3/21) to make a lot of ground. At least there are indications that it could happen. Like you said, it would be beneficial if we get a double digit storm to advance our cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following occurs ever year: the day pitchers and catchers report, I check out on winter unless it is going to snow in a larger than nuisance volume. The downside to that is that erases my want for winter during the last part of peak winter, but I just can't get past the want for warmth and sunshine. A big storm would supercede that want temporarily.

mitchnick Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 My concern is precip. All long range guidance I've seen shows a great trough in the east, +PNA, -NAO and dry. I believe it gets cold, but does it precipitate? I don't think we can just assume the stj continues to aim precip at us since the whole pattern will be changed from what we've had and looks stable thru early March. I'm not forecasting it will be dry, but nothing I've seen has AN precip for us and some guidance is well BN precip. Always something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 That has been a discussion on the MA board as well. You concern is valid thought in the "who knows" realm I think. The CFS paints all of Feb as very very dry, as it has the trough axis too far east. Close enough where a couple of phases are certainly in the picture, but not a picture perfect pattern. Also the CFS has been horrid for awhile, even just 30 days in the future. In fact I think it's 90 day has been more accurate than it's 30 day.

It would be quite "unfortunate" if late Feb/early March features partly sunny, brisk days with highs around 40 and zero precip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that enjoy it, no matter how much, a couple hour drive would get you some. I was going to take sleds up for a rip around on top, but I'm old enough to not feel pressed to go in less than ideal conditions. Hopefully in 2 weeks there will be better conditions.

I'd be awful hesitant of any pride until I knew the fiber of the new head. It could be a Rooney type whom everybody admires. It could be a tight ass like Nutting whom everybody seems to hate. Or it could be Dan Snyder. I was surprised to see the Birds sell. Makes sense, gorgeous ballpark, rich tradition, team with the most upside in baseball currently and probably the largest open championship window (aside from the Dodgers and Braves), all of which make the price tag a nice amount. Have a shock losing season due to injuries or MLB screwing with the baseball and that valuation goes down a mil or two. Now just have to win a playoff game.
