  1. Yea, no one except Tom saw that PNA in Dec coming....that destroyed my national Dec temp forecast....like 180 opposite lol It still worked out locally bc I hit on the NAO.
  2. I buy interludes of PNA in the second half....always expected that. I think the atlantic and AK area are larger questions.
  3. My guess is that if February breaks well for us, it will be a PNA working in conjunction with a protracted NAO due to a very successful and fully propagated SSW.
  4. In terms of a spark plug, yes....but the NAO helps to lock in the cold and ensure a favorable track.
  5. Yes. Like I said yesterday, there is certainly value to be garnered from your forecast, regardless of the precise sensible outcome.
  6. I meant in the hypothetical sense that you are indeed simply calling for a January 2011 caliber HECS, as Luke stated. I think you have an outside shot at that type of period....lets see what happens. I'm still betting against it, but a HECS would not shock me given the modeled pattern.
  7. Sunday Night-Monday nuisance snows were ultimately well forecast, despite the initial head-fake of more significant potential. General Trace to 2" verified well, with the "higher" totals to the SW of Boston. However, I would have been better served to go with a 2-4" range in the berkshires and NW CT, as opposed to the 1-3".....as there were some 4" reports in the NW CT hill towns.

  8. My Narcan maps will be out soon enough.
  9. Yea, no argument from me there. That is the period to watch.
  10. Not a large leap of faith, at this point lol
  11. I'm not sure why one wouldn't simply call for HECS within a specified time window, rather than analog one of the most prolific months in local lore if that is what is trying to be conveyed. A Jan 2011 call is more than one event in my mind.
  12. Okay...that is doable. When I hear Jan 2011...I think 50" monthly total and 30" snowpack w ice Jams. One HECS? I can see that in this pattern.
  13. I agree. You put as much time in as you want, at the end of the day it's a frontier science.
  14. Yea, I get the snowfall part....you guys are right about that. The luck/unknown element makes it fun...like sports.
  15. Its tougher with kids...I'm lucky I started a new job in August that affords me more downtime. I don't even do it at home anymore...which has done wonders for the marriage hahaha
