    Maybe in terms of temps, but I doubt in terms of snowfall. 1982, 1997 and 2015 all had one great storm.

    Have you considered the possibility that it may never snow again south of Bridgeport, CT if we get another super El Nino?
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    1982 would actually be a best-case scenario assuming a super El Nino, and may be a favored outcome considering the recent flip to more -WPO in the northern Pacific. It was mild, but had essentially normal snowfall throughout the northeast. I don't mean like 2015, which was good in the mid Atlantic due to one storm, but still sucked in the northeast.

    If we are going to go high end, I just assume the RONI not lag the ONI......I would prefer to take my chances with both in sync and try to pop a huge GOA low. I understand the risks with east-based and such, but keep in mind that I'm conceding a mild winter and am just looking for a window to get a good storm. My largest fear is some El nino/cool ENSO bastard-child, along the lines of 2023 that won't pop a se trough.

    Only super event with normalish snowfall in my area...still warm, of course.

    Yea, subtle shift with the "angle of the dangle" of that vortex, and whole new pattern. It was not only the -WPO ridge shifting east, but the /AONAO blocking dissipated, so we got the dreaded elongation of the "football" shaped PV.

    It will also be interesting to see how the burgeoning warm ENSO interacts with the apparent north Pacific phase change, as we have clearly shifted to more of a -WPO base-state. If El Nino does grow as powerful as some suspect, it may be more like a 1982-1983 type of deal, where as the north Pacific was a bit more favorable.

    I don't understand why folks can't grasp the fact that a mere "30% chance of showers" in the p&c will trigger the rain icon in the graphics. It's really not complicated at all.

    PNA was only positive in January, as expected.

    Takes a monster -WPO.

    I raked through everything last weekend...picked up all of the sticks, etc.

    Yes, this is why I am going to be keeping a close vigil on the RONI/ONI separation. I don't view the delta as a positive for winter enthusiasts.

    26.4 for low...mind must have stayed up a bit because I didn't radiate that well.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Half inch?
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    Nothing new...

    Sorry about the Yanks....it will make sense in about 6 months. I'm honestly not torn up over the Sox...I have zero expectations bc this ownership isn't committed. I haven't stepped foot in Fenway in several years.

    Ginxy.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    Bizarre.

    I don't consider board-bickering a fight....I probably have at it with Steve more than anyone else on the board, and he's a friend of over 20 years.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, I'm not arguing that there isn't any support for it.....I'm just skeptical at this early juncture given the intensity of the event just three years ago.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Always trying to fan the flames of drama
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    I wasn't in Methuen, then....I got 31" in Wilmington using the 6-hour clear method, but peak depth was 25", which is the total that they went with.

    Or BOX, apparently.
