  1. Pretty oppositte patterns (-WPO/vs+WPO this March.
  2. Well, lets see how the DM period ends here because March will definitely be warmer than 2014, so we are going to make up some ground here in terms of warmer departures. I know some folks forecast DF, but I do DM.
  3. You can see the trend that @bluewavewas alluding to the data, whereas the stretch in the 20's had a more even distribution, while this pasat decade is more "boom or bust"...its more an average of extremes now, as oposed to a cluster of near normal seasons back then.
  4. If I'm being honest, I would have expected a bit more snowfall had I known it would be that cold...that being said, I knew by mid January it wasn't going to come together this season.
  5. I don't think that is just a CC issue...I mean, the longer term, multidecadal trend certainly is, but we have had colder outbreaks in more recent history.
  6. No...last of it went yesterday....I still have some ice sheets in the ditches as of last night, but no pack per se. Still piles along the sides of the driveway...
  7. Scott, no one would hold it against you if you just rounded up
  8. Better than nothing? But who knows?? Wolfie does???
  9. It was a decent storm, but in a relative sense, yes....I had 11".
  10. Haha Now we get to watch the Tug melt out while we maintain the mall schmegma piles!!
  11. Perhaps it wasn't as ideal for delivery of arctic air into the NE as you think....I know for a fact that the February arctic shot loaded west of us, but perhaps you are right about earlier in the season.
  12. We had an arctic outbreak that was much colder than anything we saw this past season just two years ago, so its not simply an issue of CC.....we also so immense cold a bit earlier this decade, but it loaded into the center of the country.
  13. Not 2011, but I would take last year with the 19" on 1/7....even 2019-2020 with the big Dec event.
  14. D The February retention saved it from an F.
  15. It wasn't a perfect pattern for the delivery of cold to the NE...it still loaded through the center of the country. Its not as bad as loading west, but our coldest patterns have it enter through SE Canada with minimal moderation.
  16. There is always something that can be attributed to CC for those that wish to....this year it was the strong Pac jet and southeast ridge coinciding with the steep -A0 in Feb.
  17. Yes, I was worried at the end of December, but I knew once the Jan 11 threat turned into an advisory event. I took note of the fact that an adequate west coast ridge could never sustain and models could not distinguish that until the medium range.
  18. Fair enough. Yes, the active jet has been a probelm the past several years. Agreed.
  19. I don't think that is breaking news or anything new...I know you disagree and that is fine. But there have been cold winters that didn't feature much snowfall in the past. I'm sure you are going to point out differences with respect to the Pacific jet......I don't argue that perhaps CC make us more susecptible to that, but its going to take many years of data for me to conclude that this will be the rule moving forward.
  20. Yes. I never expect this late SSW to mean much for the east coast, except for a potentially shitty early spring.
  21. Its so granular it looks like beach sand.
