There are the two key take aways.
-
People have arguments in each direction, like with everything else in weather.

At the end of the day, people are going to point to CC regardless of whether its boring, or it isn't.

This has got to be one of the lamest weather years that I have lived through. 9 months and counting of absolute bore, save for Ian, and the one signature event 9 months ago still bent me over. My god, you have to go back to the previous cane season outside of that.

2019 was an odd one...storm track was waaaaaay north...almost more like a la nina. It even sucked here.
-
Moderate are better south of NYC......less of a STJ and more N stream with weak ones.

I can't imagine how sickening it is to be just NW of a death band and get like 8" of sand, while 10mi se gets 3' of powder. Thankfully, that has never happened to me, but I have had the same sensible result a couple of times due to subby slots....12/05/2003 takes the cake, with 12" here, 28" in Woburn (8mi) and 38" in Peabody (10-12mi). PDII a close second with 12" and like 2'+ in Woburn. Last January was probably 3rd.

Same here....31.5

Well, I don't include non-ENSO SST analogs when I do the seasonal, so that is a testament to how much I value it. I'm not saying it alters the pattern, but I think it can help to re enforce it or maybe slow the onset of a disparate regime.
-
Its overhyped, but there is somewhat of a feedback after a certain point.
-
I'll def see what I can do for Ginxy.

1995 is one of my favorite years....man, that cane season followed by the best winter ever. I know most were fish, but at 14 years old, I just tracked those things all summer long. It was a great escape for an adolescent with social struggles.
-
LOL We all have our demons, John. I probably lead the pack.
-
It's not a huge deal, but when looking for best matches, it looks more like a 70-71, 2010-2011 basin wide deal, as opposed to a 99-00 or 07-08. Little nuances like that can be significant since the range of outcomes is so high amongst basin wide events.
-
Oh, really? Hmm...I hadn't noticed.
-
I commuted...most of my classes were on south campus. 2004-2008.
-
Yep, and then I think it warms up some in December again...not a total disaster, though.
-
That was the first "Christine " related "stay away" order, no? You were creeping behind bushes around Fox Hall like Michael Myers lol
-
.99" total from this past rainfall event.
-
That was the same for my area....they were going like 4-8" after the storm had already began, then 8-12", 12-18", etc. They def. had to ramp up for my area...I remember distinctly listening to that NOAA weather radio.

This is la nina is just about out of time to be anything more than borderline weak/moderate. 12OCT2022 18.9-2.0 24.0-1.0 25.9-0.8 27.5-1.1 Really leaning east now....
-
I recall in the wee hours of the AM, just as I was turning over to snow, that they already had a foot. I was like "what the hell is that place"?
-
I remember hearing how Boston got 9" and being like "wow, sucks to be them". That is the one that put Worcester on the map for me.
-
I remember it vividly....I was in High School and we didn't even get an early dismissal because the forecast was relatively benign.....what a shit-show scampering out into the parking lot in over a foot of paste. I was doing "wheelies" with my old rear-wheel '86 Cutlass Supreme in the corner of the lot lol
-
Oh, I thought you just meant on the site. Yea, that is why JB forecasts like that on social media. Agree.
