    Well, my grass hasn't grown....so your growing season is fake.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    I love that my area radiates well because I want to record freezes as late as I can in order to delay the growing season....get that as short as possible, as it means less chores.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    28.8 at my place last night.....we radiate, we freeze.
  4. 40/70 Benchmark
    Take...anything to delay SA.

    How do you get a -NAO winter out of this? Dec 2021: 0.29 Jan 2022: 1.08 Feb: 1.68 March: 0.77 What am I missing? Also, you seem to be shifting the emphasis from a crap winter, to merely a positive NAO....maybe biased by your geography....but here in New England, we don't necessarily need a negative NAO in a la nina to do just fine. 1975-1976 and 2008-2009 are a couple of examples...both +QBO, as well.
  6. 40/70 Benchmark
    There aren't any absolutes with respect to the QBO....its just a factor. Last season was a negative QBO with an eastern biased la nina, which was favorable for blocking, theoretically speaking.
  7. 40/70 Benchmark
    I didn't ask for any seasonal calls from S Weymouth.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not bad range of outcomes there....modoki el nino, or +PNA la nina..... '00-'01, or '02-'03, take your pick Either is fine with me, with a slight nod to the former.
  9. 40/70 Benchmark
    What we need is a western biased el nino.
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Music to my ears...kill as much time as we can with that pattern between now and November.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    47.8
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    'Tis the season, I guess...
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    47 and no sweat. Not sorry.
  14. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not a popular opinion, but I like the dreary, cool and cloudy days....75 and full sun is bordering on a bit too much for me.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    45.5 at home. Hit 68 yesterday.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    Hopefully we can get a modoki of modest intensity...muster up some blocking and negative PDO is fine with me.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    That 12/19 event was great....easily best event since I moved to Methuen 10/18...followed by 2/1/21. I think we will be here a few more years, so hopefully the worm turns soon.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    The increase in solar action is why the second half blocking that I anticipated never materialized IMO.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    I do....my mortgage is under 2K/month lol
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    That December 2019 event is the only reason my children have any toys left over the course of these past several seasons....maybe 2/1/21 helped, too.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Something has to give sooner rather than later....2 consecutive climo or shitty la ninas and 3 consecutive shitty el ninos......modest el nino next year should be good.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not always, but the risk is higher in those. March 2018 had a rain/snow line, so that doesn't count...even in my area it began as rain, which made me happy..I knew I was in luck when that happened.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    Peabody had like 38"...I had 11-12" in Wilmington, and the next town south in Woburn had 26"...like 5 miles away.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    There is a reason I would rather deal with a rain/snow line than those cold/powdery blizzards, aside from the fact that higher water content snow is more durable and aesthetically pleasing....my area is always at risk of a subby zone in those.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    That blizzard was a top 3 screw-job for me....right up there with PD II and 12/5/03. The latter is still the worse, though..that bitch dropped OVER 3' like 10 miles from me lol
