  1. If I equal January output from February, I am above average. I would need like 5" in March to finish climo. I get what he means, though....no one likes punting the holiday season.
  2. Well, if we scored big in February, then the season would be fine from a statistical standpoint...I understand you like to get snowfall early during solar nadir. That said, I am dissapionted February is a punt through mid month.
  3. I get that, but you can say that about seasonal forecasting in general.....part of the appeal to me is recognizing themes and tendency within analog seasons, so I give him credit.
  4. He illustrated how the NE has a curious snow hole during -PDO El Niño seasons....not even necessarily due to huge warm departures....just a screw hole, of sorts....like 1973.
  5. Pacific certainly isn't helping....it's a bit of both... bad luck and a bad PAC.
  6. As much eye rolling as this will elicit right now, I still don't totally buy that.....some of this is just plain bad luck after decades of snowing at least excuse imaginable. Shit like not garnering enough separation between PV lobes has and will always happen in any type of regime.
  7. Very frustrating. I give Raindance credit...he nailed that. And no, I didn't copy him.
  8. This is a blockier version of 1973. The past two seasons I have bet against an awful result due to the anticipation of high latitude blocking....but it just hasn't mattered. Its sucked, anway, despite nailing the blocking.
  9. Was a pretty nice month....27.5" for January and the season.
  10. Certainly it's not close the shades in a technical sense, but I will strongly bet against a major event through at least 2/10.
  11. I haven't felt this hopeless in a long time...I feel like this winter has one more swing at producing in a big way. I can't remember a pattern so exotic that was so unlikely to pay dividends.
  12. The way this season is going it will result in a PD I redux.
  13. I don't think I saw anyone not feeling as though December was an absolute torch.
