Frigid day Max 65.2 Currently 61.8/44

That's the point, that's climo. Our snow is like bananas...it comes in bunches. No bunches, no snow. True flukes here are 95/96, 02/03, and 13/14.

That was a fluke that saved us statistically. We had 48 hours of winter that year.

60-66" at 10:1 not including March and April? Shit I might actually squeak out a seasonal (75" at my elevation) Sent from my SM-S176V using Tapatalk

Brad P with more good news. Make this shit show stop please.

It's not like they had all offseason to come up with a few creative 2pt conversion plays when the game is on the line. When I saw that play, all I could think of was all the times I stuffed the Broncos in Super Tecmo Bowl when they would run that trash play. It only works if you execute blocks, so let's expose our weakest unit out there. Bates is 6'6" and 256 pounds, if you are going to use him, have him go two yards, box out and throw him a jump ball.

Forgetting, of course, that the warmest December on record at BWI, 12/15, was followed the next month with the single biggest snowstorm on record during a strong Niño. Not to mention the 3rd or 4th largest snowfall in 2/83 was an east based strong Niño. You should know better that's how it works around here.

Ice was pretty diffuse this year so the extent numbers aren't impressive. Too early to call the min quite yet as we're only about 20k above the 2026 min of 4.574 million sq km....but if that number holds, this would rank 11th lowest for extent minimum. This is for NSIDC (SSMI/S) extent....other sources like AMSR2 or DMI might be a bit different, but looking at them al, it's the same general idea. Extent minimum wasn't very low this year given the ice staying pretty diffuse and not compact.

WAD > CAD I'll take it

107 feels like temp 97.2 so far seriously f this

NSIDC area is currently at 2.86 million sq km...which is about 150k above the minimum back on 9/8. I think it is getting fairly safe to say we've reached the minimum. It would be highly unlikely to achieve a loss greater than 150k this late in the season and with lots of easy lower concentration to refreeze near the pole right now. The 2026 minimum of 2.711 million sq km would be 7th lowest (barely staying above 2025's 2.706 million sq km)....so we just barely miss on a top 5. Last 20 years of SSMI/S minimums since 2007's benchmark season: 1 2012 2.228429 2 2016 2.463209 3 2024 2.470035 4 2020 2.5859 5 2023 2.62866 6 2025 2.707455 7 2026 2.71105 8 2019 2.871403 9 2011 2.916451 10 2007 2.954993 11 2017 3.000742 12 2010 3.072129 13 2008 3.079552 14 2015 3.139137 15 2021 3.1658 16 2022 3.20126 17 2018 3.235357 18 2009 3.547109 19 2014 3.576643 20 2013 3.607877

That was a great storm.

Oh I lost hope decades ago

As long as you have an ID you can either take the more advanced classes, or slide in for a refresher.

You are Not alone.

Thanks Chuck

66/41 beautiful day

you aren't getting a negative epo. blocking in a nino this strong just means a bunch of well placed rainstorms

this is stronger and further east than 1997. why is anyone remotely hopeful

12z Euro/GFS both try to pop a 600dm ridge later this week over the southeast

Just seeing this now. Big help I know. I don't recall seeing something quite like this. Maybe a whole box upgraded to a Tornado Watch as situational awareness changes. I would just look back at the timing and reasoning in the MCDs and watch texts: MCD issued 1230 pm - SVR watch issued at 230 pm - TOR watch issued 255 pm - MCD issued 326 pm explaining things intensified more than expected I would prefer a MCD explaining the reasoning first, but maybe there was ongoing discussion between WFOs and SPC behind the scenes and it needed to happen fast.
