40/70 Benchmark

One trend I didn't love there was to slow the retrograde of the NAO block a bit...perhaps a nod to closer to the 20th.

Yea, my preferred window is after the 20th, but close enough that it wouldn't surprise me...fits with the general anticipated progression of the season. Classic canonical!!!

I have deleted a few PMs...try now. I can have my wife email you, as that is more her endeavor.

Doesn't mean its wrong.....with a huge block and teleconnections in a state of mass flux, I would say storminess is favored.

Yea, trees that have been planted.

Makes sense being closer to the ocean....I am just over the line from Haverhill.

Haha We rent 3 properties that we have converted to Airbnb's and have some other land purchased for agroforestry, which is a pretty coveted industry in a developing country.

Secret is marrying a woman from Uganda and investing in real estate over seas. On the other end of the spectrum....spending more time virtually with you than my family?

Yea, I don't mean to imply its fantasy, just that its not worth stressing over details like that right now.

Speaking of getting a life....wife and other two kids are back on the 25th, so it would be good to sneak one in before there is a full house again.

It reminded me a lot of the a toned down version of my March 2018 bonanza....I remember concerns about the best going south were also assuaged early on by the fact that the cape was raining and even here began as a bit of rain...it sounds ironic, but it made me think...."game on" and 31" later the rest was history.

Well, stand by....lol

That sounds right.

EPS looks like goes between the BM and ACK... Funny, it sounds dumb, but I had a really good feeling when I started getting that OES CJ during the day on Saturday...that is pretty rare here and I feel like it portended where the atmosphere wanted to snow.

Hopefully we can get a region wide stomp here soon enough.

I'm still chuckling over this

I don't care to study the charts for day 10, but looks like its trying to give my area some CF love again, looking at the sucker hole inland a bit...

I expected to get some retribution on you this month....if you recall, I have been invoking January 1987 and 2003 snowfall distribution patterns for this January dating back to last fall.

What, you mean I-95 voodoo dolls aren't a thing in Albuquerque?

Are you serious? 1.5" and 13-16" gradient over 4 miles??

You can't win with him if you live on the east coast.....first I get accused of copying his work, now I'm scoffed at because I "don't forecast anything and its the same every year"....well, then what does that say about his work if I am apparently plagiarizing his stuff? And how can I be copying him if I am apparently biased towards east coast snow and cold?? You compliment his efforts and it goes ignored....he's just a confrontation seeking missile. Its truly a bizarre, dysfunctional and maladaptive pattern of behavior.

You had the buzzard's luck last weekend that had plagued me for several years.

Coastal areas should join in more the second half of the month and most especially February. I won't be surprised if this next one is another interior focus, but shouldn't be a wash out on the coast like last weekend.
