    If you aren't in patterns conducive to east coast amplification, you either get cutters, or suppressed systems in really cold patterns that can't turn up the coast...sound familiar to the past several seasons?

    Hope and Pray for -NAO....why? Please, let's hold onto the bitter wind chills and dearth of storms for just a few more weeks...please, oh pretty please... I'm ready to rinse and then make one more go of it before my fantasy baseball draft.

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not really. I'd be stunned if we didn't see blocking in March.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    Pretty close...I'm at 39.5".
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    Makes sense, as there is usually a break right when the SSW takes place,.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    It will because it won't meet the 5 consecutive months at or blow -0.5 criteria, but I considered it a La Niña, anyway....per MEI and RONI.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    That looks like the Jan 2022 band that croacked I 95...I suffered the same fate as you lol
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    It's not an official La Nina, no.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Agree!!! Candidate for post of the year!!!
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    Probably centered on when the actual split is taking place.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    Take a look at set ups with decidedly +EPO/+WPO/-NAO...promise it won't be this cold, and often downright mild...we've seen some examples over the past several years.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    No it hasn't, the North Pacific has. -NAO can prevent a torch and help to lock cold in when it matters, but it's not the source of this arctic flow.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    No, it impacted March, but the extreme RNA still worked mid atlantic and SNE.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    Why is that?
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    Those were my two top SSW analogs, and very good seasonal analogs in general. Hence the KU window in early March,
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    Just being a dick. Long range forecasting is hard...only way to get any better is falling in on your face enough (not suggesting you did). I think I have another 22-32" to go IMBY this season.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    Say buckle up enough, the seatbelt will eventually click.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    Snowing at the rate of 3"/week....Feb 2015 and Jan 2011. I actually see the value of the Feb 2015 analog, but my gag-reflex kicks in when people compare the snowfall.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    That output verbatim blows biggies.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Depends what happens from here on out in terms or snow...I'm still about 2' shy of average snowfall, so plenty left to be desired from my perspective if the balance of the season dissapoints in that respect.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Well, you, nor anyone else, has reduced it to zero...so there is luck as far as we know...I think we are aways off from getting there.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    We had a -PDO decade like this...the 1950s...it was colder, but still sucked for snowfall. We didn't get "buried" in shit patterns before...they still sucked.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    There's luck involved in everything....chaos, whatever you want to call it. The pattern can be perfect and sometimes it just doesn't work out. We did have an El Nino like 2023-2024...it was 1972-1973...-PDO /strong Nino combo. It was just as awful in terms of snowfall, but not as warm.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree.
