  1. WPO: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/correlation/wp.data EPO: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/correlation/epo.data
  2. Not an insult so much as a characterization. Do as you wish-
  3. I think one element I have largely neglected that needs to become a point of focus is the WPO. That is what killed me last year and this year when I was pretty accurate with everything else. It used to be the AO/NAO, but I have been decent there past few years.
  4. I have had some good years. Its one of those things that you just need to accept something short of mastery.
  5. How is establishing an early baseline of the 1998-1999 winter setting up for dissapointment? The season was warm with below average snowfall...
  6. Yea, I would root for an absolutely exotic amount of tropical activity.
  7. Not bad.... .1 outside of my range, though I voted for the correct category since it did not exceed 2.0
  8. Watch us finally get a great winter....going on month 4 of residing in tent cities after the next 1938-
  9. No need to bitch about winter anymore....I'm accepted it and processed the resultant frustration. Moving on-
  10. The western Pacific is what nixed that...it was like polar opposite. That season was a very strong -WPO, while this year was ++WPO.
  11. High Ace/+QBO strong La Nina rebounding off of a very strong El Nino in the midst over an overall hostile, +WPO predominate Pacific regime.
  12. Early lead candidate for me is 1998-1999, which woud actually be a notable improvement over this past monstrosity.
  13. I'm ready for the tropical season.
  14. Less than that.....just saying, descending solar and the west PAC warm pool aren't a good start.
  15. I honestly have no interest in the wind....I always root to miss that...even bad ice.
  16. As warm as the lakes have remained, not even enough cold could be mustered to avail of that via LES....the cold was all in Eurasia.
  17. No, I would never advise snow removal companies to disengage in March at this latitude if doing this professionally. As far as the T-shirt, getting one ready....."Eastern Mass Weather....wipe well with our forecasts"-
  18. These are my thoughts on the next few years.....not too optimistic, but there is an end to this east coast horror show in sight, AFAIC.
  19. There were some silimilarities to seasons that did just that, but it didn't work out. Just have to own it and try to learn from it. December and February were awful, but I think January and March will have been decent calls when all is said and done.
  20. Looking at some stuff, I think the next 3 seasons will be an uphill climb....try to get near climo snowfall and if you are lucky enough to do so, then take it and run. However, I think the late 2020's will have a pretty epic flip.
  21. I fell for it with respect to February, but never for one moment regarding March.
  22. Gotta know when to fold 'em. Wasting that mid Februay pattern that was about 10 days shorter than advertised was it for me. Remember when there was talk of it lasing though March?
