Well, there is a reason they have a sperate forum for it, regardless of the lapse.
Folks on this side want to focus on weather...its like going to an automibile forum and lecturing people on vehiclular fatalities every 2 pages.
I don't think this will be a March 2012 repeat for the record...I said +2 to +4, so yea, that implies a cool down in the second half given we are like +10 now.
Think about this....I have 30" on the season and 19" of it fell on January 7. The rest of the winter I have 11".....which would be far and away my futility record.
My next largest event is 3.5" on January 17th.
