40/70 Benchmark

I went normal to a hair below snowfall, but with a quiet January....so still on track. We should still get another 20-30".

LOL I honestly never lost faith in 2014.....but I'm pretty close here. If nothing looks better next wknd, I'm probably cancelling winter, save for a March wild card.

Hey, how about that 10mb wind reversal at 60N!!??

In this pattern? No....turtle necks abound.....no excuse for nudity.

Yea. Perfect weenie weekend of football and snow, only my PS football is in FL, my snow is in TX and my sanity is in last week.

Want to know what isn't on any model? Snow. Colder pattern is not better if it doesn't snow. It's a colder version of hell.

Probably May

No. Last year had epic warm anomalies...you may not like it, but its noteworthy weather. This? Nothing. I wanted winter, not a recap of Tip's romantic endeavors post Christine, or James' book sales.

I never was on board with an epic stretch, but can I get precipitation...or a temp anomaly??

I'd take my chances with anything over this zombie pattern. I want out.

Supression def. should end mid month.

I think we are in for nice couple of weeks, but I can't take any more of the dead atmosphere.....never seen anything like this. Hopefully it loads up for the end of January.

No kid, no wife for the wknd in mid winter...surely great weekend of storm hunting.....right? Thank god for football, so I can watch my HOF QB play for FL, where it will probably snow. At this point, just gotta pray that the Euro verifies and we get a big cutter mid month after the next two whiffs. Just cut your losses and get out of this moribund morgue of a pattern. It's like fuc$ing being stuck in the movie groundhog day....every day its 39 degrees with P sunny skies, slight breeze and a low around 25 with decrepit, petrified snow patches decaying at various rates. The neighbor says hi every day at the same exact time, and I just want to beat him senseless with a fossilized snowbank. Every night, we hear about how the SSW is underway, and while the blocking is verifying a bit south of modeling, it is here. All of the cold is in Mongolia and the snowbelts of Japan, but just you wait for that eskimo queef to propagate up his pant leg and into the arctic stratosphere. We get model runs that manage to offer zero snowfall within 300 miles of Boston, while offering up several shortwaves. At least one passing close enough to lure the usual suspects to ogle over how close it is....rinse, repeat. There isn't even any baroclinicity or thermal gradients....no....nothing. Even the fuc8ing Hadley Cell is gone. It's mother nature just filled the atmosphere spanning the whole damn Hemisphere with embalming fluid in preparation for old man winter's funeral. Just give me so much as a rain event so I can confirm the weather has a pulse.

Not doubting the more favorable pattern, but I'm just done with salivating over day 10 charts. I need a viable threat within 5 days....if the 14th looks good tomorrow night, then I'll take it seriously.

I think adding cold would suffice.

Tmw morning you'll complain about how the NAO is useless.

Record breaking boring.

Yea, I have patches of snow, too...no flowers that I have seen.

I must have missed the chapter about James' romantic encounters....do sand dunes count?

I wouldn't say that.

Agree.

He left out the chapter about his chance encounter with Christine that warm, brilliantly vibrant spring day.....cross pollination all throughout the fields and trees, as the increasing solar irradiance warmes their supple tushies while they roll through the dewey grass.

At least a strong cutter would shake thing up and create a gradient...this 41 in Boston and 55 in Miama isn't cutting it. I honestly think that this may be the most boring month of winter weather that I have ever witnessed.

I agree, though....anything but this. Give me some type of gradient.

Yea, lot of good the blocked flow did us a few days ago, now porked through the other orafice with fast flow.
