  1. I think something like 2021-2022 maybe okay...but we aren't getting the amplification out west that we did in 2022.
  2. New Euro is a nod to the CFS/CANSIPS camp.....any other portrayal is due to a bias and/or delusion.
  3. Last season was very similar to 1972-1973 with the strong el Nini in the midst of a cold phase of the Pacific. Agreed. Still warm, but better than last year.
  4. NE coast has actually been one of the few areas that have seen an increase in average annual snowfall over the last 50 years...the warm ocean hasn't been all bad news.
  5. I think it closed off at like the latitude of Virginia...
  6. Yea, that event was better south of New England because H5 closed off so early and far to the south...it was an occluded, shredded mess when it got up here...amounts much over 12" were scarce.
  7. I am of the opinion that this season will behave in a manner that is consistent with La Nina, however, La Nina will not be the primary driver...if that makes sense.
  8. It has up here...perhaps not down there...but that is how it goes. Everything went right last decade, so it evens out.
  9. Right...until the pattern stops persisting. Nobody has it all figured out.
  10. The trough dug so far to the south that it remained progressive and occluded fast.
  11. The issue with the bomb cyclone is that it occluded so far to the south...not that it was too far east.
  12. Yea, I would say from about the latitude of Providence, RI and points southward. Lot easier to BS your way to a respectable season once you get into N RI/CT and especially the MA pike.
  13. I agree...and I will take that. I would rather have a few lean years, as much as I bitch, when there is more time to focus on work and family, then be pinned to the blog for a string of 3"ers. I go all in on those storms so save it for the biggies.
  14. Agree completely. However, I thinkl the difficulty getting to within 25% of average is more applicable the further south one is.....that is not difficult in the north.
  15. Well, we are all human.....I feel like he could untlimately be exposed for becoming a bit too reliant upon persistence forecasting, which is esstneitally what happened to me at the turn of the decade. Nobody is immune to it.
  16. We can agree to diasgree on the regression part. Yes, volatility has been increased, but when you view snowfall through a decadal lens, its apprent that this decade is regression from last decade....volatility is multi-decadal and not relgated to the seasonal level.
  17. I didn't really pay much attention to him back then, so I will take your word for it. I have recognized his worhtwhile contributions over the past couple of seasons, though because he has been on of the few that has had a firm grasp.
  18. Theoretically speaking, Chris' connection to CC makes sense...but I just need to see it continue for another 7-8 years or so before more strongly considering it. The permanent alteration of the pattern...not the warming part. We know it is warming....no debate there.
