    That's the thing...I think they are related....that and La Nina orientation in stronger events factors in.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    I was away in the Marines for that....I was gone from mid January into early August....just came home on leave to get boned by PDII.

    2005 was the worst...I remmber that May, I was commuting my first year at UML...it was a blustery nor' easter with temps in the 40s like every weekend.

    Assuming a high ACE/La Nina, really the only subpar season is 1998-1999...and once you get above 200 ACE they are all decent...2005-2006 probably being the floor.

    DT pulled the plug like a week or two ago....last year he pulled the plug in December....he is more focused on data interpreation than long range predicitng, though.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Overrated, Yes. But I would still rather have it all things being equal.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    Warm spring, and I still had some snow piles around town in June. Nuts.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    He thought it would be better than this and he thought last year would be good.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Agreed.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Especially after next year we are going to enter into a stretch of a few years that will not feature much high latitude blocking at all IMO, so the extra tropical Pacific needs to improve.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    It will be less favorable for blocking next year, but if the ACE gets very high, then the extra tropical Pacific should be at least a bit better....otherwise, find a new hobby.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    I think you can start by looking at 1998-1999 next year....better hope and pray the ACE gets over 200 this summer IMHO.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    That was me the previous few years...I've done okay relative to the most of the region during the ratters, but always suck in the decent years
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    You got hosed in both the one that blitzed my area and the CT deal....brutal. This is my worst since 2012 right now and I don't see much more snow.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Edged it by 13.27...pretty trivial, but nonetheless....
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    That is my March composite from early Novie against the current CFS, which has done quite well this season.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    1933.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    I never fell for the early March head-fake. But I def. thought February would have been better than is has.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    I would definitely want a appreciably healthy La Nina next season given a very high ACE...say near 200+...
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Congrats on finally beating me this season!
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Clearly.... But if your point is that CC doesn't prevent the aggregate of the spring season from sucking around here, then sure...I agree. But it most certainly will mean a few more bum-warmers in the car. Just keep in mind that the magnitude of warming necessary to dramitcally impact the weather is much less than that which is needed to be readily palpable to the masses.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Do you understand how significant that is? What do you expect, what would have been a 50 degree day 30 years ago to be 70 now due to CC?
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    But it has if its 51 instead of 49....is it a palpable difference? Probably not-
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Isn't that essentially what he just said? Therefore, its not total BS....
