    If that keeps happening, though, its frustrating....that is how a spot like mine goes several years without sniffing normal, while much of the region doesn't.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    I get that....at the moment, I am totally checked out, anyway....but generally speaking, another pork job blows more here.
  3. 40/70 Benchmark
    Neither do I, clearly....and my point is every bit as valid. Its easier for folks in your area to brush off a porker right now, regardless of the time of year.

    An April elevation event would not surprise me in the slightest...I still have an unviolated orifice that needs tending from ma nature.
  5. 40/70 Benchmark
    Good point.

    Exactly the type of March 2014, 2006 weather that I always fear to close out a season....brutally cold, windy and dry. Perfect FU ending to what was yet another FU season.

    Hopefully you can grow to be even more like me and also admit when you're wrong.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    Not many people live up there, hence the lack of interest. Good luck.

    May have to start grading on a curve if cold weather is your thing. lol
  10. 40/70 Benchmark
    Stop acting like such a fool.

    20-20? I had 51"....no way is that a ratter. 15-16" we had like high 30's...not as bad as those seasons that I mentioned. 1999-2000 was in the 40s.
  12. 40/70 Benchmark
    No...maybe tomorrow or Wedneaday, though. Just a pretty consistent signal for some snow.
  13. 40/70 Benchmark
    2011-2012, 1979-1980, 1988-1989, 1990-1991, 1994-1995.....those are "F" ratters for us.

    Everyone knows how I feel about the winter in our region...I have clogged up the threads b*tching about it for the better part of 2 months. lol But I can not objectively claim that this season was a region wide ratter...because it was not.
  15. 40/70 Benchmark
    I haven't....yet. I am as jaded as you are, but there is a certain threshold where it needs to be considered.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    May end up with a bit of March 2018 appeal after all, given that I may be blogging and drafting simultaneously.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree its a ratter here....but there are seasons that only featured half of the amount of snowfall that we received this season, so I can not in good faith give it an "F".
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    I didn't mention anything about that...you did, presumably in an effort to deflect away from the fact that a large portion of the region did not fit the definition of a rat season.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    Alrighty then. In our area, it sucked....I would give it a D.
  20. 40/70 Benchmark
    You thought Boston would have average or above snowfall? Kudos for forecasting that unique type of "rat" with absolute surgical precision.
  21. 40/70 Benchmark
    Okay. I think you are in the minority there, but that is your opinion. I don't think most would grade a winter that included a below average January and a 24-30"+ blizzard an "F-" season.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    If you want to pat yourself on the back for correctly diagnosing the lack of blocking in the arctic based upon the very mild fall, okay...fine. But this season had the poleward Pacific ridging that most east-based la nina seasons do, which is why it was not a 2011-2012 type of rat.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    You know what I mean, dude....we missed out on the very heavy amounts. And I disagree that if I had experienced what NYC did in that January 2016 storm, then I would not have graded it an "F". If you poll most NYC weenies, they probably would not grade it an F.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    I agree in general, however, last autumn was so mild that most of the analogs for that degree of warmth in the fall were ratters....if you went based just upon that, then a ratter would have been the forecast. That is what Fisher did, which I thought was silly and still do. This was not a prototypical ratter of a season, but unfortunately the interior just never caught a break.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Depends on the location....both of those seasons, this year and 2015-2016, had historic blizzards.....so it was really only a bad season if you missed out on said events. I-95 had a pretty good snowfall season this year.
