    Yea, not sure how you did in those particular months of February...2001 was also decent, but I know that sucked for you guys. C and W NE cleaned up that year.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    It is probably displaced a bit east...I see that.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    2021 was pretty good for my area....1956, 1972...
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    IDK...looks textbook -WPO to me.... not saying you're wrong, but may just be lost on me.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, a worthwhile event is different...sign me up...we wouldn't go anywhere. But it's these nuisance-level inconveniences that have consistently plagued day-to-day life this season that I'd prefer to avoid, unless they were occurring over top of some exotically deep pack, which clearly doesn't exist.

    I was honestly hoping for all rain...needing to commute over an hour to work, and the wife needing to get the 4 little ones to school/day care will do that.

    So you are arguing that it was a hybrid response to ridging equally dispersed between the WPO and EPO domains? Is it a coincidence that that WPO registered so deeply negative? Honest question, not meant to be snarky... I think the PV being pinned to our side of the hemisphere also helped...we don't get that consistent magnitude of cold otherwise, regardless of the nuances of the north Pacific.

    Yea, the pattern hardly ever fits 100% neatly into these little boxes that we construct to quantify the atmosphere, but it helps.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, I was aiming for brevity, which I know isn't your strong suite ...but the time and place for that kind of detail is in the post-season analysis...not this thread.

    OT....but I think the really smart money is on a good winter next season, regardless of whether or not we salvage this year....not sure there has every been 3 consecutive shitty el Nino events in these parts...although I understand the CC dynamic at play and the minimizing of ENSO, etc.

    @michsnowfreak31.3" in 1995-1996? Holy $hit....I had 127.5"....that must be the only time in recorded history, and likely ever, that Philly received more in one event than you did for the season. Although 2009-2010 was closer in the Baltimore area...

    8.75". Been a microcosm of the last 8 years for me...I'm always too far in one direction or another, and/or too close/far from the ocean. Infuriating.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    That was a record ridge, though....didn't see anyone forecast that magnitude.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    No argument here.

    Def. somewhat less snowfall than I expected to this point....was referencing the pattern.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    Absolutely. You've done a good job this month.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    Get that mid-month signal into the weekend and I'll start writing.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    No, you won't. One warning event in February and a big early March coastal. Only thing NOT going for me is my snow total so far....about the same as you.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Thanks, man...will probably reference this in the February preview to buttress my pre-season work.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Precisely as planned AFAIC....only wrinkle so far has been the huge -WPO ridge making December even colder than thought.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    I have noticed ice on certain surfaces even just above freezing at certain points this season given all of the cold that has been around....
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    It was pretty icy in my area...28 and raining moderately when I left. 2 hour delay for school. My side street was slippery, but main roads fine. Snow is now encased. 29.8 now.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    1000mb mean pressure at this range is actually pretty significant.
