  1. My hopes aren't up, but there is nothing else to even feign interest in, so...
  2. I'm going to hold off before acknowledging this one...I feel like I have written far too much this month for .5" of snow.
  3. I was pretty close to that band in the Jan blizzard...def didn't get screwed
  4. I thought you meant more imminent than that. Yea, I still expect something big at some point in January.
  5. Well, there is the "generational" storm that I called for in January....unfortunately its in the Great Lakes in December.
  6. "Kind of" to me entails either nuisance crap, or slim odds of something significant. Shades still shut...
  7. Could have easily had 12/16 and this week be big dogs.
  8. No. My early speculation last March was el nino, but I never wrote anything off. It was apparent in my ENSO blogs last summer that it would be la nina.
  9. No. Once ENSO flips it will be fast and decisive IMO. But I would argue we actually saw it take over even earlier than it was observed...if you remember, even the el nino of 18-19' was more nina like.
  10. Yea, I mean...I went big in January, too....but you have to be mindful of allowing a preconceived notion to sink you moving forward. You need to let go of the outlook and see what is happening. Right now, early January certainly doesn't look good, but I am going to give it another week before getting too nervous about January.
  11. That is what I said...all three of these la ninas have had the same overall tenor. Thankfully, we are done with it after this year. Modoki el nino next season...book it.
  12. He's has been very good the past few years IMO....second to none and its not close....but he seems like he is reaching here.
  13. His egg nog is probably phasing with a few other choice beverages right about now.....nog capturing rum and just spinning right over the Benchmark.
  14. Cosgrove insists on comparing this coming January to 1996...I was like, I get the timing of the thaw, but there has been no snow on the coast. He had kind of a smug response to the effect of "well, winter only begins in a few days and there are events on the ensembles, so don't cancel, ok?". I just dropped it, but I don't really know what he is talking about. There is nothing apparent in sight.
  15. I had about 5" of glacial crust left at Xmas in Wilmington that year. I remember that light snow on XMAS eve 1993...my dad was dozing on the coach and I was watching it fall at like 2am haha.
  16. Easier to pull off in an el nino, which those both were.
  17. That cold will be in and outta here faster than Weatherwiz's prom date after having a good look at him
  18. More climo wiggle room...12/16 probably would have been alot more snow a month later for many of us.
