    Complete agreement...only matters for verification purposes.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    That was before Understood mid level banding well...I remember I kept waiting for that band that came up from the tri state and was over the Berkshires to slide east, but of course it never did. I had about 16".

    Like it was yesterday....I was in the Marines and flew home just to be there for PD II and I got caught in a subsidence hole. I almost swallowed my rifle I was so despondent lol 2'+ all around me and I had like a foot. The the same thing happened again 10 months later in December....so 2003 can Eff right off from a mesoscale standpoint, although I know it was favorable from a larger, synoptic scale perspective.

    I think he moved to Lunenburg

    In this new, warmer climate, I don't see how we have a winter like 2002-2003 again unless all of our houses float away in a pool of molten lava. JK Chris....I do agree that the ship has sailed on that magnitude of sustained cold at this point.

    I doubt it will hit official, but we'll see...doesn't matter, as we've discussed.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    December 2014 was pretty poor.

    On a scale of 1-10, with one being on the cape in a soueaster and 10 being north of Tolland in a SWFE, how safe do you feel??
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    At least by that point, bums aren't quite as toasty in car seats...

    So sorry for your loss. My condolences. This forum has been in invaluable outlet for many of us through some very difficult times, myself included. May he RIP.

    Heh....closest I have been to normal since 2017-2018 is about 10" shy in 2020-2021. I haven't been sniffing normal. Its always either north of south of me.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    Exactly right.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    The truth is in the middle....some degree of this is natural variation and cycling, but its undoubtedly amplified and potentially altered by CC.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, all we can do is speculate for now...but I won't be suprised if it doesn't even take that.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    My stance on the AMO is similar to that of the PDO....If we get well into next decade with no change, then we'll truly know. I know many folks may think that they know now, but they don't.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not surprising given history...
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    I know most speak of "tipping" points with respect to when the current climo succumbs to CC, but I also wonder if there is a "tipping point" for when the earth's natural balancing mechanisms/cycles trigger a push back against said influences of CC....ie, maybe ultimately a flip to -AMO and +PDO is realized.

    2047...I actually expected a sooner date....I think Bluewave's model had yesterday.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    48.7 this AM....all just a dream soon enough-
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, I'm talking on a seasonal level...brief periods are easily negated by other factors...whether it be a fast jet and/or poorly positioned ridges, etc....when the vast majority of the season is +WPO it loads the dice towards failure for eastern winter enthusiasts. I agree RE the cause of the +WPO tendency.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yes, agreed. Obviously the general warming is what it is, but I still feel like we will evetually see more variation to the WPO. I know we have talked about that and if it hasn't varied at all a few years into next dedade, then I'll need to reconsider that.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Yea, I also feel the West Pacific being drastically different is a big reasony why the -NAO was abope to produce more readily that season compared to more recent ones.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    So you kind of had the right idea. There were some pretty fundamental differences from 2010-2011 beyond simply 14 years worth of GW.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    I got down to 49.1...it was so refreshing.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    All joking aside, I will try be more mindful of seeking clarity from you in the future before passing judgement...not that you are about my take.
