40/70 Benchmark

@brooklynwx99 I have all the respect in the world for you guys that are bright enough to earn that degree because I am not. I could not ever do it. I am truly obsessed with certain aspects of meteorology and I have good writing skills, that's it.

I didn't see the interaction....I'm just using your comment as a launching pad to make that comment. Nothing personal at all.

He likes to point out the avenues to a successful solution...it's not wrong, per se...it's easy for people to project frustration onto that type of poster after 8 consecutive dud seasons. I think he knows his stuff....but I did roll my eyes when he mentioned his college accolades....no one cares about your GPA in any field...it's all about how practically skilled you are, and can other human begins stand you. There are plenty of degreed mets that I would forecast the pants off of with respect to winter weather in this region....synoptically, or seasonally. At the end of the day, how passionate are you and how obsessively do you seek to hone your craft. Those are the two most important boxes to check emphatically. This can't just be a job or hobby....weather needs to be a clinical affliction to excel.

Yea, just did all of the lights.

I'd rather worry about that than confluence....SSTs down near 40 and dropping, so getting tough to totally bone me that way....

Man, 8 holiday seasons I have been at this house, and it's the first time I had difficulty extracting my xmas light laser stake from the ground....I figured after a couple of warm days, now was the time...but I still had to pour 3 full glasses of hot water at the base of it and pull with all of my might with gloves on...finally. Ground is really frozen with the lack of deep snow cover and consistent cold...the likes of which I haven't seen in a long time. Going to be an absolutely dreadful pothole season.

I know...nothing against you. I just need to laugh because otherwise I'll cry.

I wish I could measure your movies with a yardstick...it would be a much more wintry decade.

Definite late-blooming Miller B-east run.

..but rain in eastern Mass....:

Yea, I mean...those are Ginx specials since he gets off to minimum central pressure and beach erosion. All I care about is how deeply my yardstick becomes submerged.

TBH, I'd prefer like 970-980....the super intense lows always do strange things with QPF and end up porking in terms of snowfall...like that Jan 4th deal back in 2018.

18th also fits my progression better...never been to keen on mid-month.

This is also what I was arguing on social media, and here yesterday.

I can't stand Miller A..let me guess, shit track and/or LBSW....

Maybe a good thing that that is an issue in clown range-

Nothing says 2020's like Camp Lejune getting my seasonal total in one event.

2-pink, 1-stink? Eh...in his case, 3-stink.

@michsnowfreak

Gonna look at everything this weekend and probably write something up.....maybe also urinate a snowflake onto a napkin for Steve to understand.

That looked like a Miller B-East job to me.

Yea, I think seeing Brian loop that convinced me it would have ended well...not that it matters.

My storm forecasts aren't actually long...it's only the seasonal outlook.

Well, I always include a map, so if that isn't clear enough for you...IDk.

Very low confidence on this....but the 2013 analog that I discussed with Will is in the back of my mind and we do have some catching up to do. I like early March better, but eyes should be peeled in February. I was so torn on including that year in my February composite, but opted against at the last moment bc it was too warm ENSOish...but I wouldn't argue with anyone that did.
