My wife can always tell A) Whether or not it is going to snow B Where or not a specific storm met my expectations by my mood Same thing with my fantasy team in the summer.
I guess I thought Scott was more like me in that he prioritizes the big fish....I would have expected an appreciation for 4 months of currier and ives from Kevin.
Its not about a failure to except climate change, its about one area of the region being boned and one not....though I'm sure you will find a way to attribute that to the Hadley Cell encroachment.
I honestly would have loved to catch a 20 mile swath like that. Not to mentioned you witnessed one of the best blizzards of your life. I would prefer that over a 4 month stretch of climo snow and cold.
The QBO is but one small piece....its not the ultimate determinant. Lot of help the -QBO was last season.
I feel like the PDO may remain a bit more negative than it was that year, but its not an awful analog for starters.....I haven't really delved in much yet, though.
You have positively got to be kidding me....you are one of the last few people in New England who should be on a scorched earth tour for anything concerning winter. You have above average snows every year.
MJ MEI down to -1.9....lowest since ND 2010 and lowest on record for MJ dating back to 1948.
Def. gives reason for pause on the el nino train of thought.
Sure, I would rather wall to wall fun and mayhem, too.....but if I have the option of 15" each month to average snowfall, or a 40" dump crowed by "lame", then I would take the latter. I prefer something memorable to fourth months of forgettable.
I'm sure we'll get a few weeks of humidity on the back half of summer....but we've had our fun. Its like, do you mind a shitty Feb-March if Dec and January pull 40" apiece?
