  1. Well, the pattern is one thing....if the block is fleeting and then we roast, then fine....but when I refer to climo, I am implicating the mean of all years.
  2. Climo isn't that tough for us on 3/8....its after mid months where it is more uphill.
  3. EURO now looks pretty much exactly like my first call (think positive snow depth change map, not dumb clowns)...not sure I will change much from the First Call on Sunday.
  4. Yea, neither did I....but the same reason I think forecasting snowfall at a seasonal level is fun, is why most don't bother....its so unpredictable. I think its fun. You just never know....and it evens out, for the most part.
  5. Yea, forecasters need to stop rip n' reading theJMA...its not all is cracked up to be-
  6. Its funny to ball bust and poke fun in hindsight....but at the end of the day, I expected a -PNA with some periods of strong NAO blocking....and that has worked out. I'm not embarrassed to say that I didn't expect snowfall to turn out so paltry given those background states. Win some, lose some. This is why forecasting snowfall is such a crapshoot at a seasonal level....I nailed the pattern 2/3 months, but the favorable portion of the forecast (window for snow) just didn't produce.
  7. Well, the NAO never "forces" anything....it just acts as a block, but it never forces the pattern...that's always either the Pacific or strat.
  8. I don't mean the whole season...just the modeled stretch ahead with the sharp gradient around my area.
  9. This pattern is reminding me of 12/2007 a bit...
  10. Neg NAO raises the ceiling, which is why I like it, but doesn't guarantee said ceiling will be reached.
  11. Well, I tossed the analog out there bc is was a big storm....that whiffed us....$hit for brains lol
  12. No, my nightmare is like around a foot while most spots are 2'+. PD II, Dec 2003 and Jan 2022 the worst.
  13. Just slashing at each other with Kocin books.
  14. Yikes...celebrity weenie cage matches...gtgs would be much better attended. Hell, I bet the Maine peeps would even make the journey for that.
