Anybody else hit with wind the last half hour, one gust was so strong it had the house creaking Alien mothership?

That was the loading pattern. The pacific anomalies are identical.

@wasnow215 Although...upon further review, the Ravens set the record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game season at 165. And they also went 5 games without scoring a TD too, lol It sounds like the 76 Steelers and 00 Ravens were nearly matched!

Ah, got it. Basically part of our ridge bridge problem isn’t necessarily the actual height lines but instead that the thickness lines of the of 500mb chart keep going up… which is related to the hyposometric equation… which states warmer air takes up more thickness in the atmosphere… which means the atmosphere is warming up and the result are new “ridges” on the charts. Funny how it all comes back to that one thing.

We’ve had snowstorms in warm patterns before. When it was 45 the day before and after. We don’t need it to be arctic cold to get a snowstorm in mid February.

I was just speaking of the SB performance in particular.

Bring it.

I could have sworn they were down to 32 in 2015....

The '76 Steelers D allowed 138 points in 14 games. 9.8 points a game. The final 9 games after the team started 1-4, they allowed just TWENTY EIGHT TOTAL POINTS. Sorry but that's unmatched in the SB era.

Remember the colors are just representative of height anomalies but the anomalies are using past 30 year climo so in a warming environment they are behind the curve. In the past the heights would be lower in the ridge and so you wouldn’t see red linking to the ridge in Canada. Increase all the heights and…ridges link easier and yes this is a huge issue but I don’t talk about it anymore because it’s obviously related to the elephant that we can’t talk about without a handful of people trying to blow up the thread for political reasons.

Nice.. I hadn't had a snowstorm over 5.5" here until this Winter. Your Hudson bay/Baffin island block is +300-350dm. Pacific pattern is a little bit further west. Our biggest storms actually happen in a gulf of alaska low, so it's really a fragile difference, where exactly that pacific pattern is.

Ah but the NYG did give up points on defense...think that makes up for the yard difference!

You always suspect you know why, when you have no clue. You have a one track mind and you can’t ever get past it. It’s tiring and ludicrous. Stop with your thoughts that you know what everyone is thinking and maybe you would feel better about yourself.

This was a snowstorm @Stormchaserchuck1. I got 10”!

Actually what's next is <5000dm over Alaska, which is worse. Then a stronger -PNA evolves after that.. it gets progressively warmer and warmer, but the pattern change to tip us over freezing line is happening in the next few days.

Quick question but what is causing that central US ridge bridge to the NAO? We even seem to have a decent Atlantic and if the PNA isn’t killing us yet then what would it be?

Man now it’s just like the winters I remember on this forum.

That pna doesn’t amplify and dig in it kicks out east. The next one does and that will pump a ridge in the east.

Taking nothing away from that great Ravens D but NYG had 152 yds of total offense

Neither is far from their seasonal norms atm. Boston averages about 47 inches a year, Seattle averages about 7. I'm glad the game didn't turnout like the snowfall averages.

I’m going to have nightmares about -PNA.

I think a uniform +PNA works just as good. Maybe in El Nino +PNA won't be as cold, but lately we've had some good opposite examples of -pna. It's just more uniform these days, on both sides, than a long time ago for whatever reason. I don't think it's a global warming issue besides some minor things

That will change lol

It's already flipping the script at Hr36

Lol that’s definitely one of my points. Also trying to get him to answer if he thinks the 2017 on period (which has been our worst stretch ever and by a large margin) is the new normal because he seems to be using this current total fail period as his baseline for what is normal. And if so our disagreement makes sense because all my examples of this pattern working are from before 2017
