I had two of those, one on each side. Did lapro on one then 2yrs later had another on other side and went with open procedure. Also have shoulder impingement, that can go from one side to the next. getting older is not fun.

If its a Northeast Snowfall Impact rating, why does the storm of January 19-21, 1978 rank higher than the famous blizzard 2 weeks later:

Things look extremely bleak right now, but I have some hope for January 20-30

The ignore function helps but sure would help more if people stopped replying to Ji

Golden years my ass lol

Just got in from a walk......temp is 24.*, but it has a feel of March out there.

They rushed the pattern change. The pattern will become colder around 1/11 no doubt. But the thaw is very powerful and very warm and it’ll take significant cold to make these areas below normal temps for January. Cold is only one step towards creating snow chances. Still nothing to look forward to on the horizon

Just a minor comment - triglycerides are not a form of cholesterol. They are lipids used to store excess carbs as fat. It's true that they will decrease if you reduce processed carbs and sugar intake. But they also sometimes increase in people who are trying to eat more healthily - particularly in people who increase consumption of vegetables and grains to compensate for a reduction in meat.

In Gardiner where we lived during 95-96, DEC thru APR, first parts of months were super, last parts were awful. Snowiest by 30"+ of 13 winters there but only 5th place for SDDs. temp precip snow First parts: 81 days -6.4 11.56" 127.2" Last parts: 71 days +4.8 14.58 9.2"

I guess I'm talking about the incessant cliff jumping over what models show over 2 weeks out. I wish they would stop going out that far. Or I wish people would stop looking. Or that they would fucking learn it's not final. If I get frustrated I don't have snow I just don't post.

Ray, Feb 1956 and Feb 1972 were good and both La Nina...'56 was a strong Nina. I'm stil trying to find a similar pattern as to the one being forecasted by ensembles....I agree Feb 2014 is prob the closest but that had the lower heights biased further west....more of a -PNA than is currently being progged. Late Jan/early Feb 2013 is another somewhat similar pattern too.

@MarkO has a place up that way I think.

I rest my case.

They were coming to mby

I saw a flock of geese flying north.

Here’s a link to the last video from Michael Clark, done on 12/30 in which he was highly confident and even smug: From this 12/30 video, he posted a forecast map for 12/31-1/15 showing most of the E US (Minneapolis to SL to ATL eastward) BN. Instead it is headed toward solidly AN. I project Chicago, ATL, and RDU will end up ~+5 to +6 for 12/31-1/15. He forecasted Chic at -3 to -4 and ATL/RDU at -1 to -2. BAM is headed toward a miss of -6 to -9 for 12/31-1/15 in a good portion of the E US! @donsutherland1

Great discussion in here this afternoon. I enjoyed reading all of that - even if it isn't all snow!

How much snow did you get this afternoon?

The interesting thing about La Nina...there are a few analogs which aren't dry during winter. I think @John1122 has posted those thoughts prior. In fact, they can produce flooding rains at times. I don't think we are out of La Nina quite yet. That said...there was worry about Canada losing its cold. The 12z Euro(yes, it is at the end of its run, but has support from its ensemble and across some other models) had this at the end of its run. Let's see if the 12z CFSv2 can get on a run. If flipped cold for Jan 21-31. I probably is a blip, but the image below kind of fits where I think we are going. The coldest air is going to push into the Canadian Prairie and refuse to budge. I am sure the West will get its fair share...but one good cutter, and any warm-up would go poof! This also fits exactly what LC's analogs have shown for late winter. Can you imagine what the Lower 48 would look like w/ a strong amplification in either of the blocking areas would produce? The SER will fight, but w/ that air mass as a plausible option...we may need a little SER.

Wouldnt Box pick up the precip in my area better..? It was showing on alb and NYC radars but not box
