  1. Always trying to fan the flames of drama
  2. 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.
  3. Hopefully as much as you enjoy your assortment of ambiguously humorous memes and 45* angled rulers.
  4. Especially since you don't provide it when I do.
  5. @CoastalWxKnowing his measurements, he probably did come up with 2 feet.
  6. I call BS on those hyper El Nino runs......I'm not sure why those shouldn't be getting the same weenies attached to them that @MJO812's day 10 blizzard maps do during the winter. I mean, tell me what the difference is....long range guidance displaying an either highly anomalous, or unprecedented occurence.
  7. We are due to a snowier El Nino in the NE....2015, 2018 and 2023 all sucked. I can't find an instance of four consecutive in that regard, although I'm sure @bluewave can scan through the Era data base and find one from the 1700s. 1987 was a pretty normal winter. 1991, 1994 and 1997 all sucked...then we had 2002. 1951 and 1953 were poor...then came 1957. There is value in anecdotal analysis, as long as it's buttressed with more empirical research.
  8. That CFS does not have any trouble whatsoever popping a SE trough....2023 that is not. I get the time range, but that is every bit as valid as these 3.0 El Nino delusions. I am willing to bet that if the CFS were right, we see that prism between the RONI and ONI narrow over the course of the year, eventually meeting roughly midway between 1 and 2 by next winter.
  9. Yea, need to take him with a grain of salt...I have noticed that you can really treat folks in the met community like models. They all have something to offer, but you are best suited to become familiar with their biases and tendencies in order to know how to screen their feedback and view them through the proper lens. Webb never simply offers an opinion or a take...it's always an OPINION or a TAKE. Perfect example of what social media does to an otherwise fine met.
  10. Saw Northfield in the news yesterday...rough spot!
  11. Over an inch in the "higher terrain"....?
  12. I think folks are getting carried away with it this early to be frank. Not to say that winter can still suck...nothing to do with that.
  13. It doesn't help that the increase in temps is more likely to be observed nocturnally, which doesn't help awareness/mindfullness. I'm not saying the daytime maxes aren't warming....they absolutely are, but it's just that it's realized to an even greater degree at night.
  14. I went with +2 to +4 in my March review.
  15. I would like to see the ONI coupled at around 1.7 or lower, and I bet we would see a better winter independent of the Modoki index.
  16. It makes perfect sense to me that if the essence of El Nino is anonymously warm water modulating the Hadley Cell via enhanced convective activity, then warming up the water to the west of ENSO is going to reduce it's ability to do so because the MC is going to rob the ENSO region of some of that convection....ie it's a competing force.
