So not writing off a whole month on the very first day of the month, is all sunshine and lollipops now? Ya, I don’t think so Ken. I love how people conflate things and turn them into something else completely. Appreciate it pal.

Yeah, the 12Z EPS gives me hope. About all we know with decent confidence based on model consensus is that there will probably be a 4-5 day long torch (sound familiar?) mainly mid to next week. That covers Jan 6-10. After that, it’s a crap-shoot. If the 12Z EPS were to verify well, then things could be getting more interesting starting the week after next.

Must be the hangover then

I need to bank on warmer spring months to offset boring thunderless summers lately.

Did she have a lot of sticky gunk coughing up?

Exactly. Be done with it.

I just getting over one of the colds, I don't think I had the super flu but it's gnarly on the lungs.

That was last night.

Thanks CAPE. Not germane to this thread but when Googling I came across a Wikipedia article on the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge which was our friend in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. Of general interest so I link to it here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridiculously_Resilient_Ridge

We don't need 2 of me around here ya' know.

This maybe? And a non belief in sunshine and lollipops?

What if we went over a tipping point after March 2018 that makes snow that month next to unheard of? Similar XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1321/

I think some have had wayyyh to much champagne

I’ll even take upper 30s with no wind. The wind is what makes this month terrible

I'm always ready for a debate on the futility of March snow. This list of snowfall totals from the last nine Marches tells the whole story: It was difficult enough BEFORE this...but since 2016? One year where we nickel and dimed our way to just over 6. And I get slightly annoyed when folks bring up March 1993 as if a super rare generational storm is an example of how you can count on March snow if the rest of winter doesn't work out.

“A little bit of snow” is really common IMBY. Lots of minor lake effect dusters. People who don’t know how to drive on snow really shouldn’t live here. Very typical winter pattern right now.

Why do we let the far left of fun weather in herei please just do weather for the view !

The only writing that’s on the wall says what happened to Ken?

Can't tell you how many national championship games I haven't watched because of this. Not to mention start times.

I’m at 17 already. Another low bust. Been a theme lately.

Clippers are still better than rainers.

If its not going to snow no sense in freezing. I'll gladly take upper 40s. My pseg bill was over $500 this month

12 is so much better than 2 or 4. Now there are a lot more programs that are in the game, and one bad game doesn’t necessarily destroy a season. People are always going to argue on the fringes but I’d much rather have an undeserving #12 kick out 13 over an undeserving #4 kicking out 5. The season is a little long though. With bowl games mattering less than ever, might as well play the playoffs in December and wrap up very early in January with the title game. January 19th is ridiculous. -4.3/-8.5 Man cold out here.

Good point GaWx but we started to see signs of a developing -NAO which eventually merged with that funky GOA ridge. The 12 Z EPS Ensemble mean gave me little hope but doesn’t jive with American or Canadian. Does anyone know how La Niña is faring? We something to change soon so that mid month to February can be salvaged.
