40/70 Benchmark

That may not be as big of an issue in February.

Yea, I wasn't trying to assuage any angst by making that comparison Just pointing it out. I made the mistake of including seasons in the January composite, like 2001-2002, because of that expected PT regime mid month.....but as it turned out, the cold dwarfed it so much it was a mistake. That is why I busted too warm. I feel like diagnosing the pattern is easier than the making the temp composite maps.

It's not good any time of the year....that wasn't my point. Just saying it's similar to that thaw period.

I don't like that middle system...those sheared systems are usually a lost cause here. It will probably work for CT.

Yea, it probably won't work out like that, but that is the pathway to be falling short of climo for an 8th consecutive season.

OP EURO is a disaster verbatim....1st SWFE snow is just N of me in S NH, the follow up is sheared sw of me, and then the coastal is OTS.

I'm just teasing John.....I know it's true. I just think it's a bit more nuanced than some imply.

Same pattern we had in mid January.

And isn't debatable...there's research, so any voices of dissent must be born of an aptitude deficiency.

I'll burn a few extra tons of fossil fuels.

Fish are immune to the enhanced CC gradient.

Trends from that mid January PT regime are probably most pertinent here.

Kind of like January looked -PNA? Looks can be deceiving.

Nothing.
