Fix a drink and get a mallet.  Both help quite a bit

My consolation prize is already set.  Regardless of the fail, I win.  Know why?  Taco Tuesday.  And get this...I'm making them with NACHO CHEESE shells.  Yup. Mmmhmm. How 'bout that W?

One minor detail I noticed. I’m a sicko and like to compare “good” outcome runs “bad” outcome runs for snow. Today what I noticed is that the model runs that are better for us tend to have these two shortwaves phasing better. The farther apart these two the worst the outcome ends up being for our region fwiw. c4277adece0c4860f9f5cc85b4034268.jpg

true, but then it kind of comes down to expectations.  And understandably yours are generally higher given you average 200%+ of my climo.   I'm not really a HECS chaser.  I'd lock in a 3-4" front end thump just to get on the board

Why does everyone think I’d be unhappy with 3-4” of snow?  Maybe if it was a fringe and 20 miles away got 12”+ then ya that kinda sucks. But I was thrilled with that 3-4” storm I got in December!  
 

When I’m analyzing patterns my goals are big. I can’t control anything so why not look for signals for big storms?  But that doesn’t mean I’m unhappy if we get a regular snow. And it’s not like we’re getting those anyways. It’s not been snowing at all lately. 
 

My issue with progressive waves isn’t that they aren’t a HECS. It’s that they typically have a narrow zone of snow and the patterns that produce them are rarely going to lead to a snowy season. Rooting to get lucky with those is basically setting our high bar for the season at below average for the region as a whole. Ya maybe someone gets lucky to hit a couple and beat climo but as a whole we don’t get snowy seasons that way.

part of me wants this to fail to see the ultimate winter will never happen again post for you and a total meltdown of the ages

Not gonna happen. For the last 7 years every failure has been couched by “but Nina” by the crowd that doesn’t want to acknowledge the “elephant”. Meanwhile we’ve had a Nino and 2 neutral winters in there and they made convenient excuses to dismiss that fact.  I’ve made my case that while the persistent Nina base state is part of this, I’ve never denied that, but more is going on contributing here. 
 

If we have a total fail during a second Nino, one that did couple and produced the pattern we wanted…at that point I don’t have to say anything. “Scoreboard” should be plenty enough. Anyone still in denial isn’t going to be swayed by some novel I write on here so what’s the point?

My theory holds, those two pieces I mentioned were farther apart, hence a worst “snow” run. The runs that phases those waves quicker (like 00z euro) allowed spacing between the tpv and main shortwave and end better for us

Agreed. Euro also brings our sw into the CA/OR border.  GFS has been consistent into Seattle. SW coming into the west coast further south and more phasing of the first system both allow for more separation.
