    Right...because it had very similar deviations to the ones I expect with this one.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    This is the strongest El Nino ever partly because we have the warmest oceans ever, which means we have more prominent competing forces than ever.

    Idk. 82 was east based and great for the MA. lol

  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, given how east-based this one is, I think you would want some deviation....
  7. mitchnick
    It's not worth arguing about as we'll know in a couple months. It just seems that there's this consensus forecast to disregard the strongest Niño not causing default Niño conditions. And there's an old saying, when everyone thinks alike, people aren't thinking enough.
  8. roardog
    Beating that record is not a slam dunk yet then.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, true....I think most consider that a tacit point given the audience we are dealing with, but noted, nonetheless.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    On average over the course of a season, probably, but you are never going to entirely eliminate any degree of seasonal variation as a byproduct of alternate forcing mechanisms...especially in this modern era of being surrounded by heat sinks.

    No, I got it. I should have been more clear I guess and directed in general. I was more referencing the whole nature of the discussion in this thread. Obviously there is great analysis of the broader El Niño. But human nature includes some imby when it comes to snow specifically. So a guy in Michigan and a guy in New England (again no one in particular) have a near zero chance of being shutout. At that latitude there is wiggle room. Down here where since the early 90s we have had huge swings in totals year over year (50” one year then 10” the next) it’s a precarious situation. It’s not a zero chance nyc sees its first ever shutout with this event. .

    Makes sense. When we actually do get the ENSO climo, defaulting to ENSO means it will end up correct.
  13. mitchnick
    If this is the strongest Niño we know of, wouldn't it increase the odds of a "default Niño " actually occurring as depicted on seasonal modeling? I'm not saying I know that answer, but it seems logical.

    34 with more frost
  15. MacChump
    good call
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    If NYC doesn't get more snowfall during the coming season than they did in 1997-1998, then I'll hand my site over to @MJO812and dissapear.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    You missed my point...I was referencing amounts relative to average. I understand my climo...I wasn't assessing the possibility of being "shutout"...

    Another frosty morning in the Valley.

    Nothing canceled here-we had it in 2020-but people did firepits at the end of driveways with a bowl of candy-no contact...seems like the firepit tradition has hung on ever since

    February 2025 was the exception when the Southeast Ridge verified much stronger right around storm time leading to the record snows ending up near Toronto.
  21. WinterWolf
    For sure.
  22. kdxken
    Awesome!
  23. LakePaste25
    Yeah they had this problem the last 2 winters. Every week 4 map defaulted to a -PNA and SE ridge.

    back in the day of the Killington Peak double chair (90s), I can remember skiing in the morning at the top of the mountain on Columbus Day weekend, with re-loading at the mid-station; and then when the mid station ski line got too long, download to the base, grab the mountain bike, and headed back up the double

    That’s why we have regional forums for regular weather discussion. You’re location averages double the amount of snow as urban coastal NYC. So I have no doubt you’re not getting shut out. 97/98 came as close to being NYCs first shutout as you can get. In fact the only 1”+ event fell during the spring and melted in hours. .
